You knew something was up when Jungkook—a boy who’d once spotted a squirrel in the road while driving at nearly 100kph—started squinting at the projector not even five meters in front of him.

Even though the two of you sat around the middle of your class, you’d frequently turn to find him angrily squinting at the board, struggling to read your smaller than average handwriting even though he’d never found it difficult before.

Now, sitting in your living room with homework strewn all along the floors and Jungkook nose deep his English textbook, you finally come to the conclusion that his vision might not be so 20/20 anymore.

“Jungkook,” you say concerned as he lets out a frustrated sigh, sitting upright with a frown etched deeply into his face.

“I can’t see,” he complains, groaning and rubbing at his temples. “And my head feels like it’s about to explode.”

You reach out to run your hand through his hair, biting on your lip when he unhesitatingly leans into the touch. “You can’t see?”

“No,” he pouts. “Everything’s blurry.”

“Jungkook.” You rub at his earlobe once before pulling away, searching his face with a pitying smile. “The font isn’t that small—I can read it just fine from where I’m sitting.”

He manages to look offended. “Okay. And?”

You sigh, placing your hand over his, like you’re about to deliver some bad news. For someone so smart, he can be so dumb. “I think you should see an optometrist.”

His doe eyes widen. “No,” he whispers, genuinely afraid-sounding.

You smile apologetically and pat his hand.

He pulls away from you to press the palms of his hands into his eyes, fake-crying into them like the drama-queen he is. “Fuck,” he whines.

You push up from the kitchen table and walk around to massage his shoulders, as if he’s a football player getting hyped up before his next big game. “It’s okay,” you soothe.

“I need glasses?” He sounds so sad, you can’t help but laugh a little.

“It’s not the end of the world!” you laugh. “Besides, I think it’ll suit you.“

“But what about soccer? I can’t play with glasses, they’ll get broken, or, or—“

“Contacts are a thing, remember?”

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Now, a couple of days later, you knock on the packhouse doors with an eager smile, greeting Jimin with a long hug. “Is Jungkook home yet?”

“Yeah, he’s upstairs.”

“Thanks!”

The way to Jungkook’s room is a familiar one. As soon as you enter the pack house you turn right and head a single flight of stairs to the second floor where all the rooms and main bathrooms are. What is new, is all the various pictures hanging on the wall.

You take a moment to admire the new frames you assume either Seokjin or Rosé hung up between today and the last time you were here (around three days ago, now), smiling fondly at the closeness and joy in each picture.

It’s a large 24x48 canvas framed in a beautiful burgundy wood with golden highlights (which seem to have been painted on by hand), and it makes your heart stop.

It’s of a photo you took with the pack a few days after your birthday.

Your heart aches sweetly at the sight of Yoongi with his arms wrapped brotherly around your shoulders, free arm hoisting his whiskey into the air, a large grin on his face. Next to him is Jungkook, both hands in the air, yelling at the top of his lungs with one of those bottled glasses of coke. And around you, the rest of the pack.

Rosé and Jennie crouched beneath you, forming hearts with their arms on either side of your legs; Jisoo, Hoseok, Jin and Taehyung laughing at their brothers off to the side; Lisa yelling at the top of her lungs while being carried bridal style by Namjoon; Jimin on the floor at Rosé and Jennie’s feet, slightly blurred around the edges from setting up the camera.

It was the best night of your life.

“Y/N?”

“Hm?” You look at Jungkook with a smile on your face, which quickly turns into an appreciative grin. “Why, look at you!”

Jungkook laughs shyly, reaching up to self-consciously push his glasses further up his nose. It’s a simple frame: black metal, kind of large but not overly so, a little boxy.

“It looks good!” you say as you finally make your way up the stairs, giving him a quick side hug before making your way to his room.

“You think so?” He holds the door open for you and then lets it slide halfway closed, joining you on the edge of his bed where you’ve already taken up one of his controllers.

“Definitely. Really frames your face.”

He groans. “Not you, too. Jin hyung’s been making glasses jokes all day.”

You laugh, nudging him in his side while starting up It Takes Two (a game you’d asked him to get so you could play together). “I would too, Four Eyes.”

He growls, not even giving you time to think before his hands are at your sides.

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Downstairs, Jimin shakes his head at your loud pleas for mercy and defeating scream-laughter with a fond smile, handing Jin another plate to dry off. “I wish those two would get together already.”

“Patience,” Seokjin chides with an equally fond grin. “They’ll figure it out eventually.”

Aquarius Rising 2024 Predicts

Accuracy dependent on natal chart

this wasn’t even requested. just felt like i should give yall aqua risings a warning for february lol

feb 9 - New Moon in Aqua

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in aqua. The planet in aqua & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

Around this time you may be suddenly starting something new. This could have to do with your appearance, identity or life direction. What you manifest under a new moon generally takes up to 6 months of work to come to fruition when there will be a full moon in aqua.

Pluto is here as well. It will temporarily return to Capricorn Sept-Nov 2024. But after Nov 19, 2024 it is here in aqua for the next 20 years. Pluto is bringing destruction to who you believed you are and transforming you into a more powerful version of yourself.

February is a very aquarius month for everyone. Pluto, mercury, venus and mars will all step into aqua. This indicates the general energy for everyone to be progressive, future orientated, analytical and independent.

For you guys, this is putting a lot of attention on you. After January where many were likely making moves in private and emotionally (or physically) isolated, you are now coming out of that hermit energy. You could be preparing to make transformative changes or literally be making them this month.

Examples:

Some may be applying for that uni or visa after much consideration.

Some may be making big relationships decisions.

People in the family or community may be requiring your help.

Basically, there is a lot of passionate energy. And many of you may feel inspired to make changes.

Feb 24 - Full Moon Virgo

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in virgo. The planet in virgo & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

This is your 8th house. The new moon was in September 2023, if you began anything in regard to other’s resources, taxes or intimacy/taboo topics. They are coming full circle now.

Mar 10 - New Moon pisces

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in pisces. The planet in pisces & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

If the changes you desire are income related, this is a good time to begin planning for ways to make those changes. Mar 22, mars will enter your 2nd giving you the motivation to take action.

However, mars can be impulsive so watch out for buying what you don’t need. And unfortunately for some, this can be an unexpected purchase you have to make.

Mild Ex: You drive around more than usual and as a result have to make more gas stops than you usually do in a month.

Mar 25 - Lunar Eclipse in Libra

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in libra. The planet in libra & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

You may find closure related to a 9th house topic - travel, university, religion, the father. This jay have begun in October 2023.

The south node has been here since July 17 2023 (and will stay here until Jan 28, 2025). This can indicate fated events blocking your focus from being on the 9th house in favour for more focus on your 3rd house. You may experience an event that brings you more independence. It may be related to your siblings/cousins, education, community or communication.

April 1-25 Mercury Retrograde

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in aries. The planet in aries & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

Don’t let retrogrades stress you out. Think of it as mercury double checking everything is in order. For you this is the 3rd house. There may be delays and other inconviences in your life. Double check paper work, drive safe and leave ahead of time if you know you have to be there at a specific time.

Retrogrades are usually the time people reach out to people from the past. You or someone else may reach out for reconciliation or one last conversation for closure. However, not every personality type needs or wants to dwell on the past. So this is very dependent on personality types of the people you knew and yours.

April 8 - Solar Eclipse in Aries

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in aries. The planet in aries & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

April is a really 3rd house themed month for you. This is the house dealing with community, siblings/cousins, social interests and activity. Early education and communication style too.

When this occurs, mercury will be in retro in aries and chiron, venus + north node will be in aries. People may be feeling fiery than usual. This can be through being independent, assertive and honest. It can also be people being argumentative, impulsive and angry.

You may have conversations (or arguments) but with venus there is a chance these lead to resolution. Even if the resolution is to end the relationship.

Also don’t be speeding ever but specifically in April because it’s likely you’ll get a ticket. Double check where you park too when out in new areas.

April 20 - Jupiter + Uranus conjunct Taurus

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in taurus. The planet in taurus & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

Uranus is bringing a sudden and unexpected energy to your home and family life. But with jupiter it is likely a positive event. It’s hard to say exactly what because it is unexpected and sudden due to uranus.

Examples: Someone’s having a kid. Jupiter is expansion and this is your 4th house of home and family. Someone could be moving out.

April 23 - Full Moon Scorpio

[More likely to be felt if you have placements in scorpio. The planet in scorpio & its degree + aspect will tell you more about it influences]

If you began anything around career in nov 2023, it’s coming full circle now. This can be switching jobs, solidifying your place at the job.

It could also be about your public image/ reputation/ status. Maybe you’ve been putting a lot of work in to be seen a certain way and people now recognize that. For some though, unfortunately, it can be a negative image or gossip going around of you. It depends on what you’ve been doing. And at the end of the day not everyone will like you or understand you, especially when you’ve got aqua placements (people hate what they can’t understand).

RAIN CODE ZINE - Interest Check Results!

Hello! After a week, we've gathered an encouraging 88 responses! With that in mind, I've decided to go through with the zine 🎉🎉🎉

Here is the full results report:

In terms of participating, we have an overwhelming majority wishing to participate as artists! There's a fairly even split between writers and readers only, and just slightly less on anyone willing to take on either writer/artist roles. With this in mind, I've considered having this zine include 24 artists, 3 digital merch artists, and 6 writers, not including the moderators.

Here are the results regarding the zine's theme. We will be focusing on a general RAIN CODE zine! However, there will still be a theme so the zine can remain cohesive.

The theme is: A Trip Down Memory Lane!

For this theme, I'm hoping for a variety of pieces focusing on each chapter of the story, from the prologue to the epilogue. I'll permit some pre-game and post-game works as well, but would prefer a major focus on the canon story.

We have a staggering dominance of people preferring to be an art moderator. Even with this in mind, we will be accepting one art moderator and one writing moderator. I will handle scheduling. Applications for both will be sent out soon.

Most people have agreed on a writer/artist collaboration, which means that 6 of the artist participants will be paired with a corresponding writer to draw art that accompanies their writing.

Most folks would be willing to have digital merch attached to the zine! We will accept 3 artists to make digital merchandise. The merchandise doesn't need to fit into any one chapter, so the rules will be a bit looser on what the art can portray.

And those are the results!

Regarding some suggestions and questions asked in the interest check:

You should add keychains/physical merch/ physical copies. Full disclosure, this is the first zine I've ever run, so this zine will be a free, digital only PDF. This is to keep it as simple and manageable as possible.

A cosplay section? I would count cosplay under art. When I release artist applications, cosplayers are welcome to submit cosplay photos and even create them as entries to the final product.

Artists should make promo art! Once I have co-moderators and participants, any artists who are willing to offer simple doodles for promotional material are welcome to contribute.

Link contributor's Ao3 accounts in the zine? The zine will offer full credits for all participants in the zine. This includes any preferred social media accounts for sites such as Ao3, Wattpad, Twitter, Tumblr, and anywhere else.

How will this be scheduled? I intend to drop a full schedule post soon, but the basic rundown will be: 15 Jan - 22 Jan: Moderator Applications 24 Jan - 25 Jan: Moderator acceptance/rejection emails sent out, mods invited to the zine's discord server and emailing list. 1 Feb - 20 Feb: Artist/Writer Applications 25 Feb - 29 Feb: Artist/Writer acceptance/rejection emails sent out, participants invited to join the discord server and emailing list. 1 March - 15 Jun: Production period, with monthly progress check-ins for all participants 16 Jun - 29 Jun: Countdown period 30 Jun: Zine releases

I assure you, Vivia Twilight will appear at least one time in this zine!

As an additional note, I'd like to thank @rararazaquato for coming up with the title of the zine!

And thank you everyone for your responses!

All My Roads Lead Back to You Part 1

Hello, my beautiful readers! I should be working on “If I Rescue You, Will You Rescue Me, Too?” and that was the intent yesterday I swear. But I wanted to sit down and flesh out the first part of my “Eddie and Steve reconnect after years apart because their kids are in a rock band together AU”. Only I went from 680 words to 6020 words over the course of the day.

So um...yeah. I’m still working on “Rescue” but since I have so much of this ready, you’re going to get this for the next couple of days.

Just a couple of things, you can find the original idea for this on my Master List, but I don’t recommend reading it before this, because it makes the story a little less fun. The other thing is that in case it wasn’t clear enough the first part are all newspaper headlines.

Enjoy!

Steve was a man of few regrets in his life. He had a job he enjoyed, a daughter he loved more than life, and close friends he could count on. One of his biggest regrets, though? Losing track of Eddie after Corroded Coffin’s bassist Brian Martin died in a tour bus rollover in Europe on their first world tour.

He knew that Robin and Dustin and probably some of the rest of the Party still kept in contact with Eddie, but after Steve was forced to miss Brian’s funeral...he wasn’t sure Eddie wanted him to contact him. So despite Dustin’s greatest efforts their lives remained separate.

“Hey, Dad!” Edith called from the kitchen.

Steve sighed into the bedroom mirror. He patted his hair down to hide the hearing aid. “Coming!”

He trotted out, grabbing his keys and wallet as he did so. His daughter was sitting at the counter happily munching on her cereal. Steve grinned when he saw her. She looked nothing like her mother, a fact Addison loathed. Edith had brown eyes and light brown hair with freckles, just like Steve.

“We finally have a new guitarist,” she said happily when she saw him. “But because we can’t have it at Lauren’s anymore...”

Steve sighed. “You want to use my garage as your studio?”

Edith grinned. “Pleaseee...”

Steve closed his eyes and opened them slowly to see her giving him the biggest pair of puppy dog eyes.

“All right,” he said. She started squealing and jumping for joy. “Only one day a week and if I have a migraine...”

She sighed, “We’ll keep it down.”

Steve ruffled her hair.

“Ugh...” she moaned. “It’s a good thing I don’t spend hours on my hair like you otherwise, I’d be really upset.”

Steve laughed. “Uncle Dusty keeps telling me it’s a miracle it hasn’t all fallen out yet.”

Edith smiled softly at him, before reaching up and gently tucking a lock of hair behind his left ear. “You’re the face of S&D, Dad. It’s not a crime to show off the goods.”

He ducked his head and blushed. “I know I wouldn’t be where I am without it but it chafes, you know.”

“You’re the father a seventeen year old girl,” Edith said with a wink, “I think you’re allowed to have a hearing aid.”

Steve sighed, too. “It just makes me feel older than I am.”

Edith shrugged. “You’re already old, so what’s a few more years difference?”

Steve raised his eyebrow and she squealed as he lunged for her. He kept up swimming and had taken up running. Edith on the other hand? She loathed sports. She claimed on more than one occasion that if anyone saw her running, they best start running too, because there was something chasing her.

A joke that didn’t go well with her dad or any of his friends for some reason she wasn’t privy to.

So she was an easy catch and he tickled her.

“No!” Edith huffed. “I’m too old for tickles!”

Steve stopped and cocked his head at her. “I still tickle Aunt Robin so...invalid argument.” And went back to tickling her.

Once she was gasping for breath, Steve let her up. “Now, Miss Thing, it’s time to get you to school.”

“Ugh...” she said, going to grab her backpack. “I hate school. Why can’t I just drop out?”

Steve raised an eyebrow. “Because last time I checked, I didn’t raise a quitter. And you only have a couple months left of this year and all of next.”

“I hate being a September baby,” she huffed dramatically. “I’m older than most of my class.”

He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. “You can blame your mom for that one.”

Edith smiled gratefully up at her dad. “It’s nice to have a scapegoat for all one’s ills in life.”

Steve laughed. “Thank god, for Addison Reed.”

Edith had to admit that there were certain parts of school that she enjoyed. She loved history and art. She didn’t know if she got that from her mom, as she had seen her mother all of three times in her memory. The first nine months of her life didn’t count.

Addison Reed had showed up when she was three when S&D had finally made it big and wanted more money from Dad. Again when she turned eight and Addison had taken her out for ice cream to try and charm Edith into giving up information on Dad so she could wheedle even more money out of him. The final time and the time that upset Dad the most was when Addison turned up when Edith was twelve to try and convince her to move in with her, so she could live off the child support.

That was when Dad got a restraining order against her, and moved them to Indiana from California. Edith missed the warm sunny days and the beaches, but she knew why Dad had done it. If moving back to Indiana was the only thing that would keep the leech away, Edith would have suggested it herself.

The other parts of school she liked were her friends. Mandy Lawrence and Kenny Grant. They had been a quartet, but Lauren decided she was too cool for them at the beginning of the year and stopped talking to them.

It was whatever.

She had art today which was a blessing because math was a killer and it always made her depressed. There was another reason she liked art class. Because that’s where she met this boy.

No, no not like that. Edith Barbara Harrington was a lesbian thank you very much. No, for all the kid’s fluffy brown hair, dimples and doe-eyes, she was interested in his ability to absolutely shred on guitar. His dad was some famous producer or some shit.

She walked up to him and fist bumped him. “H-man!”

“Miss Thing!” he greeted back. “Talked to my dad, but he said no go. He’s got too many valuable instruments he doesn’t want us touching.”

Edith grinned. “Well you’re in luck because my dad said yes.”

“Hell yeah!”

“So after school, k?” she said and he nodded. “I’ll text you the address.”

“Awesome!”

Their teacher called out for them to sit down and they did so with a grumble.

Edith couldn’t wait for after school.

Hi Ms. Raven! I was wondering if you knew when the Broomquet Birthday Cards would be coming out in the ENG server? I'm dying for Jade's, but with Grim's SSR and glomas, I don't know what I should be saving for 😂😭😭😭 Thank you for all the help! And I hope you're having a great day :)))

In TWST JP, the birthday cycle ends with Riddle (late Aug) and begins anew with Jamil (mid-Sept). JP is currently in their fourth birthday series (Platinum Jacket).

In TWST EN, the birthday cycle ends with Malleus (mid-Jan) and begins anew with Cater (early Feb). EN is on the Union Jacket series (the second set of birthday cards).

Broomquet is the third set, so I believe you don’t need to worry about it coming out until the new year (2024)! If you plan your rolls wisely, you should be able to roll for banners this October without worrying about how it will impact your later Broomquet rolls.

hey bae! u already know that i was the one made the ask abt laura so here's an ask while i'm not anon

so i have mentioned before on most of my socials that i am currently in uni and my field of study is entertainment and arts management and that i chose my focus in media arts (so i am studying more with film, tv, social media) and i have been studying laura and z star and how laura and z star are both shady as fuck and here is what i gathered (which i basically me pasting what ii said in my anon ask to u):

she is def brainwashing the triplets and using them to her advantage. her management skills are EXTREMELY unprofessional.

what even irks me is that they even said that they never wanted to move to la ever in their lives and that they prefer the east coast and boston way more but laura made them move to la to live with her when they were 17. they were literally MINORS and she was like in her late 40s/early 50s making them live with her. plus, she rarely lets them go back to visit their family and when they do she limits them to 1 week max. AND, she made them come to her birthday trip and made them not go back home to celebrate their mom's birthday which is either the day before laura's birthday.

she even went crazier by putting their initials on her FAMILY christmas tree when even many people know that a manager-client relationship should be PRIMARILY PROFESSIONAL

she even told them to cut people out of their lives. tbh i feel she was the reason that the guys and alahna don't speak anymore because even at their peak moment of popularity they were still best friends with alahna and they didn't have a manager at the time. then when they signed to z star and laura, alahna was out of the picture all of a sudden. laura has def made the guys cut alahna out of their lives so that she can try and make madi their main best friend (i'm always team alahna).

the triplets need to cut ties with her and either find a better manager or manage themselves. i also feel that they should live only in boston because la isn't instantly gonna make you famous. they should be located back in boston so that they can also be around their family and friends back home.

agree with every fibre of my being babes! i feel like she’s also manipulating them in way that they don’t even know about.

now here’s what i don’t understand… they have almost 6 million subscribers on youtube but don’t go to many events. I feel like the only one they’ve been to is a red carpet premiere of the scream movie ages ago. most influencers go to multiple events one after another but they’ve barely been to any. is that because laura doesn’t want them to go and live the life of an influencer and meet others like them?

going back to the xmas tree scenario. like who in their right mind thinks that putting initials of your CLIENTS on a FAMILY XMAS TREE is right?! like, girl they’re not your children! they’re your clients who you are using and manipulating! are you for real?!

now to compare the two tours. the first tour they did back in jan/feb of this year, fans were allowed to do whatever poses they liked with the boys. for the versus tour, fans had to choose from four poses provided on a posterboard! how does that make any sense? like you had the freedom to do what you wanted on the first tour but not for the second? who came up with idea? was it laura? the world may never know!

but basically, moral of the story is that laura is a bad manager and is not helping them reach their goals and potential

The last day of 2023.

And holy shit has it been a chaotic ride, one which you all shared with me, or that's what it feels like!

The Major Moments:

Feb: Cato's cancer diagnosis and discovery of weird mutated cells that likely won't be explained until after he passes away. He's still with me, fortunately! No idea how much time he has left but I'm grateful for every second

April: a small leak in my dining room ceiling turned into a bigger leak which turned into a massive hole in the ceiling, at least it wasn't winter???

May: DD Born Again Photos give us all a goddamn heart attack

May: I FUCKING REACH MY OVERALL 1,000,000 WORD COUNT ON AO3. 🎊 🎉 🎊 Next stop is 1mill for TRT!

June: Went to my first con since Covid! Drove all the way down to Philly to see Charlie Cox, WHICH WAS FUCKING AMAZING, HE HELD THE RED THREAD FOR OUR PHOTO, MY FANFIC DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE, AND I TOLD HIM WHAT DD MEANS TO ME AND HE WAS SO NICE I COULD CRY

June: At that same con, I finally FINALLY got to meet my bff @wonderlandmind4 in person after many many many late nights of chatting, and we just CLICKED like we'd been friends for years, which I should have expected, but still! And then I got to meet a bunch of my readers, too! Best con experience EVER

July: enter Whoops Covid Finally Got Me After 3 Years But Charlie Was Worth It ™

July: Finally dusted off my draft of Pasta's First Dark Fic cause even if my brain was too fuzzy to write, I figured I could edit a bit. And I did! And was pretty happy with the results!

August: Shit Now There's A Long Covid Heart Issue And I Can't Be Seen Until Late November Thanks Covid ®

August: leak in the garage leads to me losing about 65% of all the beautiful, special woods pieces I'd gathered over the course of six years for carving. Within a week I am gifted a huge bin of wood from a kind soul at my local witchy shop

Sept: TRT's 6th anniversary!

Nov: I was slowly getting back into the swing of things, doing a bit of writing in between learning to manage whatever was going on with my heart (which we'll hopefully figure out in January when I get all the results of testing in Jan)

Early Dec, and the worst week of my life: mom got sick. Within one day she went from not feeling good to needing an ambulance. By the next day, she was in the ICU - flu induced double pneumonia that was interfering with her breathing and heart issues. And with one more day, she was put into an induced coma and ventilated, without any of us sure if she'd pull through. They told us she'd likely be under for two weeks, potentially longer even if she made it. The amount of messages and supportive comments I got from all of you, the talks I had with @wonderlandmind4 and @shouldbestudying41, just the general sense of having a community to help me means more than I can ever say as you all helped me through that terrible, horrible moment, even if it was just gently messaging me to remind me to try to eat.

Mid Dec: against ALL odds, Mom was off the ventilator in a week. By week 2, she was out of the ICU. By week 3? Off to the physical rehab center. She was there a grand total of 1 week before she was allowed to come home to finish her recovery. Early December was the worst moment of my life, and yet it was also bookended by the best Christmas of my life even if it was spent at the rehab center, because I got to have my mama back, and hug her and tell her I loved her and make jokes, and now she's home and we've been watching Christmas movies and eating grilled cheeses, and as far as I'm concerned, that's what the holiday is to me: not presents and snow and lights, but this moment, this time with her. 'In all the places you find love, it feels like Christmas.'

In just a few hours for me, it'll be 2024. I have no idea what to expect going forward, or even what to plan for, much less a resolution. I know I want to get back to TRT when mom's a bit better (she still needs a lot of help, understandably). I know there are wood carvings I want make; friends I want to visit; witchy events at my local shop I want to go to. But other than that... who knows? If I'm lucky, things will be calmer than this past year. But even if they aren't, at least I know I have dear friends, all of you, and my family, including Pasta Mama, to help me through it.

Goodbye, 2023. Hello, 2024.

#new years #tw: sick parent #tw: sick pet #i have had a doozy of a year #and i truly don't think i'd have gotten through it without all of you #i feel like my life was just one great big tilt a whirl this year #incredible highs and incredible lows #we'll just have to see what 2024 brings #thank you to all of you this year #for your chats and messages #your comments and reaching out #it hasn't exactly been a smooth ride this year and i'm so grateful to all of you that helped push that metaphorical car up the hill with me #we'll see what comes this next year

Submas Plushie Leftover Sales Update + Future Merch Plans!

Hi Everyone! Sorry this update took so long, I've been dealing with some✨personal business✨ but I'm ready to give an update on what the plans for leftover plushie sales are, as well plans for my future merch ventures in the near future.

SO after a LONG road, I shipped out all of my remaining plushie pre-orders at the beginning of December! Again, I'm really sorry about how many delays there were, and I really appreciate how patient everyone was. ❤️

So now I've been thinking about what's next for my store. Of course, I want to have leftover sales for my Submas Plushies and Pins- But as I've previously mentioned, I've been working on a bunch of new charm designs for other fandoms as well. Those designs are coming along nicely, but it'll still be a bit until they're all ready to make and sell.

I'm still deciding on how proceed, so I want to do a little poll to get yall's opinion. (I am not promising that whatever wins will definitely be what I do)

Reblog are very appreciated! Thank you guys so much for your support!!

As the knower of all things Batman Comics - any chance you’d be willing to give a rough timeline of Jason coming back to Gotham and what he does? I know about all these events - the fight at Titan’s Tower, him confronting Batman with Joker, him shooting Dick, taking over Crime Alley - but I don’t know what order they happen I ?? Are there important things to his return timeline that aren’t in that list? I can’t figure out where to find the relevant comics (or even which comics are the relevant ones). :(

(Alright so I'm gonna base these on publication date and hope there wasn't too much time-wonkiness making it so that some events were before or after certain other events in spite of the dates and all that)

1. Jason returns to Gotham — It's unclear exactly when this happens, but I want to say it's roughly 4-4.5 years after his death.

2. Jason confronts Bruce and slices Tim's throat before "revealing" it was actually Clayface the entire time (no it wasn't) — Hush was published from Oct 2002 - Sept 2003, so the time between that and the 2004 Under the Hood storyline I assume to be anywhere from six months to a year. Comics are confusing.

Batman #618

3. Stephanie Brown "dies" in War Games (Oct 2004 - Jan 2005).

Batman #633

4. The Red Hood appears in Gotham — There is no official source for this, but we can assume that Jason has made at least a few appearances at Red Hood pre-Batman #635 while planning his takeover of the city and showdown with Batman.

* I should also mention that Dick is still recovering from a leg wound when the Under the Hood storyline begins, as well as recovering from the traumatic event of Tarantula killing Blockbuster, which is a big part of the reason why Dick is in Gotham at this time and around to help Bruce when the Red Hood surfaces. That, and the fact that War Games just took place and they lost Stephanie. Jason picked a really stressful time to start his Gotham takeover lmao.

5. Jason kicks Bruce out of his own company and takes control of all his toys lmao (Dec 29, 2004).

Batman #635

6. Jason takes control of Gotham's gangs (Dec 29, 2004) — This is the first official appearance of the Red Hood that we see. This is the event that swiftly puts him in the spotlight as Gotham's newest and potentially most dangerous criminal. (This is also where all the "eight heads in a duffle bag" jokes come from.)

Batman #635

7. Jason reveals that he is Red Hood (June 22, 2005) — Bruce finds out the Red Hood is Jason and is given the evidence to prove it. We can assume that the other Bats (Dick, Barbara, Tim, etc) are informed shortly after this encounter, if only for their own safety than Bruce's generous decision to keep them in the loop for once.

Batman #641

8. Jason attacks Tim at Titans Tower (Nov 9, 2005) — Jason takes a brief break from fucking around in Gotham to go beat up his kid brother in ugly orange leggings. Then he returns to Gotham to mess with Bruce and Black Mask some more.

Teen Titans (2003) #29

9. Bludhaven gets nuked (supposedly killing Dick at first, but we all know he's fine). — This particular comic showing the event was published on Jan 26, 2005, eight days after it was first shown in Infinite Crisis #4. This information doesn't really matter that much, but it makes me sound smart.

Batman #649

10. The infamous Jason/Joker/Bruce showdown happens (Feb 22, 2006).

Batman #650

11. Jason disappears, then resurfaces after a year or so to cosplay as his big brother (April 12, 2006) — Jason lies low for a long while after that final confrontation with Bruce until the One Year Later event has passed, skipping us forward a year in time. Dick returns to Bludhaven to find Jason having lost his marbles, acting as a murderous version of Nightwing and being a general nuisance to everyone <3

Nightwing (1996) #119

#soho speaks #soho reads comics #get your comic references kids #lay it on me papa bob #jason todd #red hood #robin #under the red hood #under the hood #utrh #batman #batfamily #batfam #bruce wayne #dick grayson #nightwing #dc comics

ok so. the timeline.

besides seasonal changes to the environment the best temporal marker we have in rwby is the academic calendar for the huntsmen academies. for simplicity i’m making the following assumptions:

1. BASH follow the same calendar

2. we are in the northern hemisphere

3. calendar units on remnant do not significantly differ from our own

i’m going to use the names of gregorian months instead of “1st/2nd/3rd winter month,” for ease of understanding, with seasons blocked out like dec/jan/feb, mar/apr/may, jun/jul/aug, and spt/oct/nov.

note: the second assumption requires that we also assume that the canonical map is NOT a world map. again assuming that remnant is earthlike in the essentials, the equator should then go approximately here:

…and then we have to assume that either this an extremely distorted projection OR remnant has way more ocean coverage than earth does and cartographers just kind of crop out all the extra water.

the clocks shown in the cct tower in V2 indicate that mistral (11:20) is three hours ahead of atlas/vale (8:20) and nine ahead of vacuo (2:20); which, again assuming all relevant variables are earthlike, would make the approximate distance between them roughly comparable to the distance between new york city and madrid—and given their relative positions on the map, either days on remnant are quite a bit shorter than ours orrr there’s a massive ocean between the east coast of anima and the west coast of sanus which DOESNT MATTER FOR THE TIMELINE DISCUSSION WHATSOEVER i just think it’s neat :)

back to the BASH academic calendar: from bits of dialogue in primarily V2, V3, and V5, we have a… relatively comprehensive understanding of what an academic year looks like. we’ll assume that a semester is 18 weeks.

vale has cold, snowy winters, shown in V3; it’s lush and green when V1 begins and remains so until V3, when ruby (and various environmental changes) indicate that it’s now autumn. since V1 encompasses the whole first semester, and V2 the first several weeks(?) of the second, the first semester of the academic calendar must begin in mid-to-late spring, likely the middle of april. it ends in early august, and with a two-week break (V2.1) before the next semester, that puts the beginning of the second semester right at the end of august.

the vytal festival is a complication here, because a significant number of students from the other three academies come to the host academy for a considerable length of time, which would impose a critical disruption of education once every other year for all huntsmen/huntresses in training given that the festival and pre-festival events seem to last for several months coinciding with the fall term—the simplest way to account for this is to assume that students intending to participate in the vytal tournament get enrolled in the hosting academy for the second semester, making this a formalized study-abroad program. (this is never stated outright and somewhat obscured by the “other students arriving for the festival” verbiage and how light V2-3 are on classroom/study scenes, but the integration of international students into beacon does pretty unambiguously support this reading.) all of this to say the festival is concurrent with the normal academic semester, rather than interrupting it with an extended holiday.

the weather stays fair throughout V2, and is noted to be “getting colder” early in V3; also, preparations for the vytal festival begin in vale during the break, toward the end of august. the festival appears to be more akin to an international expo than a holiday, albeit one small enough to occur biennially, so an event lasting somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-8 weeks after prep time of several weeks sounds about right. since the tournament is said to be the pinnacle of the festival, it likely takes place at or near the end. this would make V2 about 5-7 weeks in length and place V3, and the vytal tournament, around the beginning of october, which ties pretty well with the shifting weather.

under normal circumstances the fall semester would end in mid december, followed by an extended winter/spring break lasting until the start of the spring semester.

as a point of interest, on remnant the cultural associations with the seasons—as established by ozma, who also designed the huntsmen system—go like this:

winter (creation): “center yourself and think reflectively to gain awareness of who you are and what you can contribute to the world”

spring (knowledge): “nurture the life around you, and remember to stop and smell the roses”

summer (destruction): “don’t view the world at a distance—take an active part in it”

fall (choice): “be thankful for what you have and show your gratitude.”

and this lines up quite well with the structure of the academic calendar: there is an extended break during the winter and first half of spring, ideal for reflection on and integration of what was learned during the school year; the first semester begins in spring, the season of knowledge and fresh beginnings, and continues for most of the summer, which is all about participating actively in the world (as huntsmen are trained to do!). then the second semester covers the entirety of the fall and the first few weeks of winter, thus gratitude and appreciation leading to reflection and growth. the “knowledge, then choice” pattern repeated frequently throughout the show—including in ozpin’s welcoming speech at the beginning of the first semester—is followed in the academic calendar as well. all of which is to say, this is absolutely an academic calendar cooked up by ozma, the man is obsessed with symbols.

so. with the basics established we can approximate the in-universe length of each volume up to V6 pretty precisely:

V1 is 18-20 weeks long, depending on how much of it takes place during the two-week-long semester break.

V2 lasts for approximately one month, plus 1-2 weeks.

V3 picks up at the beginning of the tournament and spans most of it. it’s not entirely clear how long the tournament lasts, but there are eight finalists for the singles: so the doubles round is eight bouts, and the teams round sixteen. the singles round itself requires seven matches to arrive at a singular champion. thirty-one fights in total, for the whole tournament. dialogue between qrow and the barman during the teams round indicates that matches are fought more or less back-to-back; being very conservative and saying that the average bout in both teams and doubles rounds lasts fifteen minutes, with fifteen minute intervals scheduled between bouts, the teams round clocks in at eight hours and the doubles, four. it is… conceivable that the tournament is a three day event; maybe five, if the teams and doubles round are split across two afternoons each. there just aren’t enough competitors to stretch it out for much longer than that.

3.1 and 3.2 are contiguous and 3.3 begins around sundown, at most 10-15 minutes after the end of the previous episode, and continues until dark. the doubles round begins in 3.4 the following day and continues in 3.5. there’s a button at the end of 3.4 where it’s nighttime and winter is leaving, so either the doubles round IS split into two days, or rwby simply skipped ahead a few hours from winter’s goodbye to her actual departure from vale in 3.4 to maintain (more important) emotional/thematic continuity over strict chronological order, and then skipped back to the afternoon of the same day to continue the doubles matches in 3.5. i think both are valid readings here. in any case, 3.5 ends in the evening and 3.6 picks up immediately where it left off, then jumps forward to the next day with the beginning of the singles round. 3.7 is primarily a flashback episode, with present events concurrent with the latter half of 3.6; in 3.8 the yang incident has postponed the remaining matches, but they’re scheduled to resume in the evening; and aside from the falling action in 3.12, the whole rest of the volume takes place in a matter of hours during the evening/night of 3.8—so, all signs point to the vast majority of V3 taking place over the course of only 3-4 days (depending on how you read the nighttime button on 3.4).

beacon falls in early october. ruby is in a silver glare coma for an uncertain length of time, but long enough for the inner circle to confirm ozpin’s death (reading between the lines of what qrow tells ruby, he’s already retrieved the cane and is following instructions given for the event of ozpin’s death) and for huntsmen to stabilize the situation in vale. a few days at minimum, possibly more like a week or two. thereafter there is a time skip of 1-2 months, long enough for winter to set in but not for the snow cover to get more than a couple inches deep. so inclusive of the falling action time skips, V3 ends around the middle of december.

there is another time skip of several months between the end of V3 and V4, which picks up in mid-to-late spring. (this tracks with pretty well with everyone’s travel time: weiss gets flown back to atlas and has been stuck there for a good long while by the time V4 picks up; rnjr traveled mostly on foot all the way from patch island to eastern sanus, hopped a boat to anima, and are now on the final leg of the journey toward mistral; and blake got on a boat that had to get around sanus and then all the way down to the southern hemisphere to reach menagerie, possibly with other stops along the way, and is still on the boat when the volume picks up.)

V4 is annoyingly vague on the passage of time in comparison to the previous three volumes, but it realistically must last at least a couple months. this is because it begins in the spring, and:

V5 picks a couple days, tops, after the ending of V4, and “approximately one month” before the beginning of the fall semester; ergo, V5 begins at the end of july, and ends during the full moon in august, immediately before the fall semester begins. thus V4 begins sometime in the middle or end of spring or early summer and lasts until the end of july, so anywhere from 2-4 months

V6 begins two weeks after the end of V5 and lasts four days: the apathy arc spans two, with rwbymoq arriving in argus around sunset on the second day; the whole crew visits the military base on day three, with jnr being filled in and oscar going “missing” later the same day and everyone searching for him until nightfall; jaune proposes stealing an airship that night, and they execute their plan the following day, depart from argus in the afternoon, and reach atlas that night. this puts the ending of V6 somewhere around the second or third week of september.

now. V7 is… tricky. there are two time skips of indeterminate but significant length (between 7.2 and 7.3, and during the montage in 7.5), the action is divorced from the academic calendar altogether, the one major event that could serve as a temporal marker—the election—is left temporally ambiguous, and because atlas is polar we can’t gauge the passage of time by changes in the weather. however!!

remnant has earthlike seasons, ergo the planet’s axis likely has an earthlike obliquity, ergo atlas—being just barely inside the polar circle—must experience midnight sun and polar twilight phenomena during the summers and winters respectively. V7 begins in late september, when the days and nights should be of roughly equal length.

and, here’s where this gets fun: 7.7 seems to cover a decent chunk of time. it begins long enough after the election for the massacre to mature into the news cycle, calls for penny to be taken offline to gather momentum, robyn’s vigilanteism to “embolden�� suppliers in mantle to refuse to do business with the atlesian government, and jacques to get the other two council members on board with impeaching ironwood; so, it’s been anywhere from a few days to a week or two. most of the episode takes place at night (or indoors in windowless areas), with a single daylight scene in ironwood’s office in the first part of the episode. pietro also offers one of the very few hard temporal markers in the volume, stating that maria has been helping him for “the past few weeks”—however, it’s not clear whether he means the past few weeks since the election, or if he’s talking about having been running on fumes in the weeks leading up to the election and the new situation with penny is just one more overwhelming thing. personally, i lean toward the former reading, since it squares with the other subtle signals that it’s been some time since the night of the election, but both are equally plausible. anyway—after 7.7, there are no daylight scenes until the sun rises at the end of 7.13. granted, the reason for this is that 7.8-7.13 are all contiguous, beginning on the evening of jacques’s dinner part and lasting through the entire night, BUT.

you see the pattern here, yeah?

the first five episodes of V7 have mostly, by a wide margin, daylight scenes. 7.6 begins in the morning, but most of it occurs during or after sundown. then there’s a modest time skip with one gloomy daytime scene, and the rest of the volume plays out in the dark. there is obviously a lot of symbolic mileage to be gotten here, but in the absence of any concrete temporal markers we can also take this shift from day to night as a rough approximation for the dwindling of days toward the polar twilight of the atlesian winter, and the sunrise at the end of the volume as a signal that we haven’t quite reached the winter solstice yet.

so: V7 begins around the third week of september and likely ends in the first or second week of december, just a couple weeks shy of the solstice. the first time skip (between 7.2 and 7.3) is probably somewhere around a week, tops; the montage time skip in 7.5 would then begin in early october and last until mid-november (at which time daylight hours would be around 6 depending on atlas’s exact latitude). if the election itself occurs within the next few days, and 7.7 picks up a few weeks after the election, that puts 7.7 roughly in the first week of december (daylight hours approximately 4) and 7.8 a day or two after that at most, and possibly the evening of the same day.

V8 explicitly takes place in about 48 hours. but, after using the presence of daylight to approximate a hard timeline for V7, it would be remiss of me not to discuss daylight in V8 soooo,

based on the estimate of V7 ending in early december, there should be only about four hours of daylight per day in V8. 8.1 begins no more than an hour or so after 7.13—the whole episode occurs in full (if overcast) daylight, so it must occur within the approximately three hour long window between dawn and dusk; which is to say, those kids moved FAST! breaking into the atlesian military complex a mere hour or two after catching their breath and regrouping. 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 are contiguous, with sunset occurring in 8.4, meaning that approximately four hours elapse between the end of 7.13 and the end of 8.4.

8.5 begins after dark, and during ruby’s broadcast it’s shown to be sunset in vacuo, WHICH MEANS that we can pinpoint the time of the global broadcast fairly precisely—because we know, from the world clocks in V2, that atlas is in a time zone six hours ahead of vacuo. using the equatorial line marked on the map above, we can estimate vacuo’s latitude as roughly 40N, and we’ve worked out that it’s the first or second week of december. therefore sunset in vacuo occurs around 4:30 PM, vacuo time, making it 10:30 PM in atlas when ruby’s message is broadcast at the end of 8.5. :)

next up is 8.6, the present-day portion of which begins at sunrise the following day—around 11 o’clock in the morning and about 24 hours after the end of 7.13. 8.7 begins at dawn (late morning) and lasts until after dark (with sunset around 3:20 PM). it’s not clear how long after dark, so 8.7 might be last as little as six hours or as long as twenty. 8.8 seems to begin no more than ten or fifteen minutes after 8.7—the amount of time it takes klein to get started treating nora and for rwb to lift penny out of her crater and bring her to klein—and realistically only lasts around half an hour to forty-five minutes. 8.9 begins most likely around the time 8.8 ends—it jumps forward from jyr leaving the ship in 8.7 to them having made it into the whale—and lasts for most of the night (the sky becomes noticeably much lighter between the beginning and end of the episode, suggesting that jyr were inside monstra for quite a while; this would also explain why ren runs out of aura from masking and tracking them even with jaune amping him, he keeps it up for several hours straight.) 8.10 is contiguous with 8.9, and ironwood’s view of monstra at the beginning shows that sunrise is just barely beginning—the eastern horizon is tinged red—when oscar nukes the whale. so 8.9 ends and 8.10 begins around 11 o’clock, 48 hours after the end of 7.13. everyone in the immediate blast zone is knocked senseless for… probably around half an hour? as it’s fully dawn by the time we see the ace-ops picking themselves up. it then takes a few hours for jyre to hike to schnee manor from the outskirts of atlas, so they arrive at the very beginning of twilight, probably around 2 PM. 8.11-8.14 all take place inside the hour limit ironwood gives in 8.10; when atlas falls, the sun is setting around 3 PM, late in the afternoon, approximately 52 hours since salem arrived in atlas. (and: the refugees reach vacuo at 9 AM, vacuo time.)

and—because the vast majority of the action in this 52 hour period takes place in the dark, and because there are two separate episodes that begin at dawn and end at dusk or after dark despite covering events that should realistically only take a few hours—V8 seems to me to strongly support the early december almost-polar-twilight reading of V7’s dwindling daylight scenes.

and, putting it all together (using 80 as an arbitrary year number for the sake of clarity, and assuming that the calendar year begins in spring for the sake of tying it neatly with the academic calendar):

V1: mid-april to mid-august, 80.

V2: end of august through september, 80.

V3: first week of october, 80.

RNJR leave patch: mid-december, 80. ruby turns 16 during the time skip.

V4: mid-april through late july, 81.

V5: late july through august, 81.

V6: second or third week of september, 81.

V7.1-4: mid-september to early october, 81. it’s about one year since the fall of beacon by 7.4.

V7.5: early october through november, 81. ruby turns 17 during the montage.

V7.6-13: late november through first or second week of december, 81.

V8: about 52 hours in early december, 81.

it’s been approximately 20 months, in-universe, since the story began.

and, if that feels too short to you, it’s also plausible to interpret the 7.5 montage time skip as lasting through the winter solstice, in which case everything after the time skip occurs in mid-january, with 4-5 daylight hours and the days becoming gradually longer; which could conceivably push it to about 22 months if you put the end of V7 in early february. this isn’t my preference, though, because so much of the montage occurs in full daylight.

anyway here’s hoping for some concrete temporal markers in arrowfell so i can stop tinhatting about the proportions of daylight to nighttime scenes

#at some point i’m going to #do a rewatch specifically for the purpose of #trying to precisely date every episode #because i gotta #but not until arrowfell #which i’m really hoping will give me #a couple more crumbs to work with #re V7

I think there might be a broken link with one of the pages. The Jan 30 update links back to itself when clicking NEXT, and the Feb 13 update shows an error when hitting NEXT....and the March 5 update goes back to the Jan 30 page. So Feb 13 is kind of hidden lol. Love the new update btw, it's been the highlight of my morning!

OK! I think I've figured out the problem! A lot of my "Previous" "Next" tags are in the beginning of the post, so when I got back and change the links (from "Next Coming Soon" to just "Next") it actually is changing the name of the link, and breaking the link to the previous page directing to it.

So I'll need to go back and fix all of them, which I was planning on doing anyways to add the Masterlist post, but yeesh. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! Please be patient with me while I update all of these, guys! Hopefully they should be in working order in the 24 hours or so and I will also try to add individual page links to the Masterpost so even if links do break you'll have a go to means of reaching them that doesn't require scrolling through tons of posts!

Johnny coming in hot at #1! I REALLY loved how those screenies of him came out, I’m super proud of those. He’s gorgeous, I’m secretly a Silverhand lover okay.

Dum Dum deserves all the love so I’m very happy he’s #3 : ) I really loved putting him in that snazzy coat.

I’m also really happy that Maggie made it on the list. She’s so special to me, she’s my #1 girl and she’s come along way with her story since I made her. She did a complete 180 on her appearance, and I feel she’s exactly how she should be and I love her so much she’s never going anywhere even if I don’t post pictures of her all the time.

And of course Goro and Vaughn, my two most beloveds on planet earth. Taking photos of them is my absolute favorite, what I’m the most passionate about, they bring me such joy, always brighten my day and honestly? 2024 I am making it a point to care less about numbers and more about the fact that I just love them and even if it’s just me who see’s them, that’s good enough for me. I’m proud of EVERYTHING I do with them.

Shawn Mendes and Niall Horan Timeline

I will be posting it in sections of years. I’ll tag them all “Shiall Timeline” to make it easiest to find them all.

This timeline is a timeline of noteworthy Shiall relevant stuff that’s happened, focusing on 2015-2016. I’ll be adding to it whenever I find/think of something. Please let me know if there’s anything else that should be added.

Years 2015 - 2016

April 13 2015

Shawn starts following Niall on IG

Dec 29 Niall likes Shawn’s cover of History on IG.

This isn’t a completely comprehensive timeline, though it is still quite inclusive.

This doesn’t include the IG photo liking or commenting, even though there’s been MANY of it throughout the years!

NOV 22 2015 ACCORDING TO SHAWN IN LATER INTERVIEWS, HE AND NIALL MEET AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS. (SHAWN PERFORMS PRE-SHOW, NIALL PERFORMS WITH ONE DIRECTION.)

DEC 2015

Dec 1 Niall performs Jingle Ball with One Direction in Dallas. According to Niall in later interviews, he and Shawn meet while they’re both performing in Texas.

Dec 3 Niall starts following Shawn on Twitter (Shawn already follows him).

Dec 4 Niall performs Jingle Ball with One Direction in LA. Shawn has his own set.

JAN 5 2016 NIALL STARTS FOLLOWING SHAWN ON IG

Feb 3 2016 Shawn: I met him in America once and then he actually reached out to me over Twitter and I talked to him a little bit, and he seemed really cool – really genuine.

Interviewer: Did he slide up in your DMs?

Shawn: He did! He just said what’s up, give me a text if you’re ever interested in like writing or whatever. Yeah, he’s a really cool guy.

interviewer asks if they’re going to do that, Shawn says yes, interviewer suggests Niall go to one of Shawn’s shows, and Shawn says “he can get on stage with me.” (this TEASE.)

Sept 28 James Corden asked Shawn about their favorite Irishman. Same old keep missing each other quote as before. It’s definitely going to happen, though. (Spoiler alert: it definitely did not happen.)

SEPT 2016

Sept 19 Shawn talks to KISS FM UK about The Collab: We’ve been talking about writing, but we’re never – I texted him before, I was like, ‘I’m going to London, where are you?!’ and he was like ‘I JUST got to LA.’ So it’s like always, for some reason, we keep missing each other. I will [collab with Niall] for sure, he’s a really sweet guy.

Sept 21 Niall talks about The Collab on Zane Lowe: The fans would love to see myself and Shawn Mendes do something. Love to work with Shawn.

Sept 29 Niall phones into the Zach Sang show: “I met him towards the end of last year. We were doing some radio shows together, you know the Jingle Ball. I think we were down in San Jose or something like that, and I bumped into him […] I spoke to him when he was coming off stage. We’re like, ‘let’s meet up,’ we exchanged numbers. […] He text me the other day: ‘I’m in London, are you around?’ and I was like ‘dude, I just landed in LA.’ We haven’t been able to cross paths with each other, but I’m sure… Like his album’s coming out, I’m still in the studio. I’m sure he’ll be doing promo and tour and things like that, so. Whenever we get the chance and get in the studio… He’s a talented, talented, talented boy.

Sept 29 Niall facetimes with Roman Kemp who brings up The Collab: Sorry Shawn. Sorry for everyone asking you questions about me on your promo tour… Shawn’s a great guy, we’ve chatted a lot. We haven’t really hung out a lot, but we’ve talked a lot and he’s a great lad. Super talented. He’s crazy, he deserves all the credit he gets. We just keep missing each other, so when we get in the same place at the same time – when he’s finished doing whatever he’s doing and I’m free – I’m sure we’ll get in, sit down with a couple guitars and write something, but there’s no plans – at the moment – of an actual feature.”

Oct 2016

Oct 5 Shawn talks about The Collab and This Town: I’ve been texting back and forth with him, he’s a great guy.

Interviewer: I’ve heard that new song, it’s beautiful.

Shawn: It’s great. I’m so, so proud of him.

Interviewer: It’s stripped down. It reminds me of One Direction in one way, but –

Shawn: It’s totally him. I’m very proud of him, it’s a great song.

Oct 26

Niall does a Twitter Q&A

and says “Treat You Better” is one of his favorite songs at the moment. “Been up there all year.”

Nov 2016

Nov 11 Shawn with Roman Kemp about The Collab: “Yes definitely. It will, eventually, when we get time. I met him for the first time the other day, but it’s funny because we felt like we knew each other because we were like, talking back and forth for a long time, but yeah, when we get the chance I’d love to write with him, I think he’s incredible. He’s got this great, great vibe happening with his whole acoustic thing, so I think I really want to get involved with it if he’s down – which he is, I think.

NOV 20

Shawn and Niall hang out after the AMAs and give us the glorious video of them singing Mercy together (NOT in a dressing, in Niall’s sitting room) which got cross posted all over the place and made us all cry.

Shawn posts the video with the caption: niallhoran is a lad

Niall posts:

Me and the boy ! Top lad . No idea why my sunglasses are on my shirt . shawnmendes

Mully posts:

That event type. #AMAs

Justin Stirling posts:

when mullingar meets ottawa meets pickering 😂 look at the mug on mully

According to Twitter, they then went to Drake’s AMAs afterparty.

Nov 30 Niall talks to Ryan Seacrest about the post-AMAs shenanigans: We went to the AMAs, obviously, and afterwards we were all going out, but obviously it was too early to go out. so he came back to my house with a couple of our friends and we just sat and played in some video, and it ended up on Instagram. there it is.

Ryan: How old is he?

Niall: Shawn’s 18 and a very impressive young man as well.

Ryan: He’s so young!

Co-host: He’s very mature, as well.

Niall: Yeah, he is. He’s also very, very talented. He plays all the instruments, very well. He’s had like 3 or 4 of these top 10s singles. He’s only 18 years old.

Ryan: Do we like him?

Niall: We like him a lot.

December 2016

Dec 1 Niall talks to iHeart about Shawn: I literally just spoke to him on the phone, I think he’s enjoying a little bit of time at home. His mom hasn’t him home in awhile. When mummy puts her foot down, she’s right. Yeah, he’s great. He’s an unbelievable guy. We hung out at the AMAs and he came over to the house, and we did that Instagram thing… Top guy, you know. You should be very proud of him in this country. Unbelievable singer, unbelievable guitar player. Great songwriter. Like, he’s 18 years old, he’s had like 3 or 4 top ten singles on Billboard. It’s unheard of. And he’s also – he lives at home with his parents, in a suburb… How much more humble do you want to get? He’s just a great kid, I really enjoy his company, he’s a good lad.

Niall goes on to say it’s too late to get Shawn to collab on his album, everything’s “done.”

Dec 11

A fan takes a video of Niall and Ellie Goulding watching Shawn’s Jingle Ball set.

Niall snaps Shawn’s set side-stage.

A fan takes a video of Shawn saying hello to Niall after walking off his set.

Ellie Goulding posts:

On this radio tour with some mad talent…. these guys have been killing it. niallhoran shawnmendes 🙏🏼 #fangurl

Dec 16 Niall posts:

Gona miss the jingle ball tour . Was really good fun. great atmosphere amongst the artists backstage and even better atmosphere in the arena. . It was amazing to perform my song for thousands of you in the cities I went to , thank you for being so nice to me . It did feel like a bit of an anticlimax when the song was finished as I would have loved to have just played the whole album to you but it’s not ready yet . . There’s always next year . . On that note , here’s a picture of shawnmendes and i being guitar nerds …. cheers to John , Tom and everyone at iheart

Dec 18 Shawn has a lyric struggle covering This Town and talks about Niall on his IG livestream: I love Niall, man. He is just the coolest guy. So happy that he digs all the songs, and just a really cool dude. He kills it live too, every single time. He’s just so impressive, so professional. 10 out of 10. He’s a real pro. He’s a true pro.
