SPIT! 
After a while, Chief Brady started pressuring Miguel to start practicing with the lyre. Whenever he touched it however, he felt an uncomfortable shock in his fingertips. He sat on his bed, staring at it. Riley paced in circles on the floor. 
“Want me to try using it?” she asked him. 
“I... don’t think you need to. I think if I wear gloves, I’ll be fine.”
They heard a plick plick sound. They looked around and saw the screws unwinding from the air-vent grill. The entire thing fell to the floor. Out popped Zodiac’s face, smiling at them. Both teens freaked out. 
“Dios Mio!” Miguel screamed in his native Spanish. 
“HOWAREYOUDOINGTHAT??” Riley screamed as well. Zodiac shushed them both as they slithered out of the vent and landed on the floor. “Took us a while, but we figured out where to find you.” 
Riley sat down panting. “I, I, I thought that crawling through the vent thing was a myth, that you couldn’t do it in real life.” 
“Not everyone can.” Zodiac stretched their arms and legs. “But we can. It helps that we’re good at contortion and don’t have claustrophobia.” 
“Anyway,” they clapped their hands together. “We found the room where they keep the security tapes. What say we watch them together?” 
“But...” Miguel gestured around, “What about us showing up on tape?” 
“Not to worry.” Zodiac looked over at Miguels’ camera. “We have a spell for that.” 
@@@@ 
The first tape they watched was from New Year’s. It showed everyone in the common room after the daily playing. Gristle walked up to Chief and looked at the lyre. 
“What happens if you pluck the strings one at a time?” he asked.
“Let’s find out.” She plucked the red string. Renee shuddered and sighed. Her whole body glowed bright red. She became taller, sharper, scruffy, becoming a mauve-skinned woman dressed in fishnets and a white tank top. Everyone heard an electric guitar in their heads. The strange, mohawked woman turned to Gristle, red-eyed and snarling. “BERGEN MAN WHORE!!!!!” She screamed and ran towards him. He tried to run away, but she grabbed him by the neck. Before she could do anything to him, she shuddered wildly. Chief Brady had actually tased her! The woman collapsed on the ground, shifting back into an unconscious Renee.
Miguel and Riley were stunned by what they saw, unable to form words. Zodiac rubbed their chin like an intrigued scientist. 
“That’s fascinating.” 
“Was that a troll?” Riley asked. 
“She turned into a troll?” Miguel asked. 
“Yes. Wait No!” Zodiac gave several answers at once. “She didn’t look like a troll. Unless! Access to our plane allowed access to take on human form… Fascinating.”
@@@@ 
The next day at the afternoon gathering, Miguel experimented by plucking the orange string. The whole harp turned orange, and so did Loop. In the place where Loop sat, there sat a long-haired orange skinned woman with legs ending in giant horse hooves. She got up and stomped to the nearest patient. “How’d you like to be someone’s dinner?” She grabbed him by the ear. “How’d you like to be MY dinner!?” 
She managed to grab a dinner knife and pin him down. “Yippie-Ki-yay, Father Fracker.” She aimed the knifepoint at his eyeball. 
Riley saw Chief Brady pull out her taser. Remembering what happened to the red girl, she launched herself at the woman, tackling her to the ground before she or Chief could do anything.
They lay there, staring at each other.
“Hello,” Riley smiled, “Miss Orange Troll Woman…”
“Do something!”  The scared patient yelled at Miguel.
Miguel strummed all the strings at once. The woman shivered and shifted back into Renee. Riley was laying on Renee. Awkward. She rolled off of her. 
“What was that all about?” Miguel asked Bridget.
Bridget looked down, nervous. “It’s um, it’s… it’s kinda complicated.”
@@@@
That night they went through the older tapes. Miguel admitted something to Zodiac.
“My boyfriend got a job here, back in October. At first there was radio silence. Then he started sending me all these texts, saying that he was possessed by animal spirits, and that people were trying to turn him into a Super. Right before we came to work here, he sent me long conspiracy letter, talking about how he escaped and how he was waiting for me to escape.” Miguel sighed deeply. “I hoped it wasn’t true, but now....”  
Zodiac put an arm around him. Up close, Miguel noticed a tattoo of the big dipper on their forehead. 
@@@@
In the woods, miles away from the facility, an 18-year-old Korean man turned on a camera and filmed himself.
“Hello party people! This is Day 28 on the Lam. I’m Species. Formally known as Russel JIn. Let me take you around camp.” He pointed the camera at different spots. “Here’s our tent. Here’s the latrine (we dig a new one every week). Here’s the campfire. Here’s the spot where I prepare the food. Here’s the rock where we eat. And here’s Senior Dante!” The camera stopped on a Xolo dog bundled up in colorful Christmas sweaters. “He’s been keeping us company, courtesy of Miguel, our ally in the inside.”
He turned the camera back to himself, showing all his beefy Korean glory. “We have an ally on the outside too. But he doesn’t show up on camera. Just as well. He’s on a secret mission. We’re just along for the ride.”
He looked over at the white haired, blue eyed, barefoot boy standing next to Dante. “Thanks again for getting this for us. And for all the other stuff.”
“Don’t mention it.” Jack gave a wave of his frost-covered staff.
@@@@
The next day, Riley sat with Zodiac in their room. Zodiac reviewed the facts; “So, strumming all the strings together brings out the Trolls’ emotions. Plucking them one at a time summons a particular species. Imagine what playing an actual song would do…”
“Maybe a little Mariachi can perk them up.” Riley suggested. “Miguel can play one of his songs for them and they could…”
“Oh not that!” Zodiac interrupted her with great enthusiasm.
“Why? You said trolls love music.”
“Yeah, the music they make. They hate other people’s music.”
“Really? That’s kind of racist.” 
“It’s... complicated.”
@@@@
While Zodiac explained the String’s history to Riley, Gristle admitted the truth about Trolls and Bergens to Miguel. 
“You ATE THEM????” He roared at the little man. 
“We didn’t think they minded! We thought they were just happy all the time!” 
“If that were the case, they wouldn’t have tried to run away from you!” 
“Yeah! I can see that now!” 
“But you still need to play each day!” An old skinny man named Bibly piped up. “Otherwise, the troll spirits will awaken and come to the surface!” 
Miguel paced back and forth, muttering in Spanish. Finally, he turned back to the crowd.
“I hope they DO surface! And I hope they tear you jerkwads limb from limb!” 
@@@@ 
“So, after fighting with the other elders, the Pop leader took the entire harp, strings and all, and hoarded its’ music. The others eventually stole their strings back and left with their tribes in all different directions.” 
 “And what happened to the Pop Trolls?” Riley asked.
“They chose a new leader and swore off using their string altogether. Even when things started to go wrong for them.”
“What were they even fighting about?” Riley asked. 
“No one knows.” Zodiac examined their hand. Riley hadn’t noticed before, but they had an extra finger. “Must have been something important.” 
That’s when Miguel came in. 
“You won’t believe what just learned!” The teenagers said to each other in unison. Zodiac laughed hysterically. 
@@@@
They spent the rest of the night exchanging stories. The next morning, Miguel took his guitar and sat in the middle of the cafeteria.
“I don’t care what happens, I’m playing something!”  
He began strumming a gentle ballad. Everyone looked at him. 
He’s pretty good. Bridget thought to herself. 
On the other side of the room, Renee blinked, like someone waking from a dream. She looked at Miguel and began to walk towards him. Riley was the first to notice her. 
She stood right in front of Miguel, smiling at him.
“That’sss... prrettyyy...”

"xxx The tempo would change a little bit by the time the man of the hour took the stage, but when he did, everybody knew why Shelton’s name was biggest on the marquee.
With a set that spanned the better part of an hour and 45 minutes, Shelton settled into a pocket that felt as comfy as your favorite barstool. With the brooding intro of “Come Back as a Country Boy” from 2021’s “Body Language” (his most recent full length) he opted to build the energy rather than come out of the gate hot. It would take a few songs for things to really rev up, but Shelton was every bit of an entertainer as his television persona, a combination of no-nonsense country star turned comedic everyman.
Between interacting with the bar up front and his storytelling, Shelton tried to make an arena feel as intimate as can be at times. He would jest at a fan at the bar who didn’t dress up as much as his wife did for the show, before segueing into “Doing What She Likes.” Later, he would tell a story about supposedly FaceTiming with Luke Bryan over crowd interaction before asking the arena to sing along with “Gonna.” When he wasn’t playing around, he was sincerely thanking the fans for being able to come back to cities like Milwaukee year over year and be greeted with large crowds. Every bit of crowd work seemed to set up the next part of the show, a veteran move that felt organic in the moment.
Shelton also wasn’t afraid to explore the slower and lyrically heavier elements of his 20+ year career on Saturday, admitting that he was bringing back “The Baby,” a heartfelt song about a mother passing away, and breaking out love songs like “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” as well. A pseudo-duet with wife Gwen Stefani via video screen for “Nobody But You” also made for a special moment, and a subtle reminder that the husband-and-wife duo just released a single two weeks ago. While the pace would slow down at times, the set was designed in a way that never brought the crowd entirely out of it before bringing things back up again. “The Baby” would be the heaviest moment, but an immediate turning point, countered by the introductory drones of “Ol’ Red” that got the crowd up once again. From then on, it was a barrage of some of his biggest hits.
Though the night may have overall paced a little slower than expected, the closing string of his greatest hits seemed to be the most economical. Almost no time was wasted between “Hell Right,” “Sure Be Cool If You Did” and “Hillbilly Bone,” each warranting spirited singalongs from the crowd that made for a tidal wave of voices. The party was in full swing for closers “Boys ‘Round Here” and “God’s Country,” making you think that there genuinely might not be an encore after the lengthy main set. The house lights stayed down, though, and a version of “God Gave Me You” served as last call before it was bar time at Fiserv Forum. 
To the casual fan, it may be easy to forget that Blake Shelton has maintained a nearly two-and-a-half decade run at the top of modern country music. On Saturday night, though, he showed everyone the crossover entertainer that he had become, without being afraid to nod heavily back to his roots."

Hey, it's a droughtula, right? Let's be funny.
So, I was looking through my photos and I came across this screenshot... and it sort of exemplifies my reaction here to Quincey thirst specifically regarding his slang-filled proposal to Lucy.
This is a screenshot of the lyrics to Boys 'Round Here by Blake Shelton. The poster child of bad country songs.
Tumblr media
The red underline is me frantically trying to communicate to my non-American friend which lyrics were egregious stereotypes that border on maddening. It's such a thorough dressing down of southern US culture... that you would think it was satire made to mock us. It's beautiful for all the wrong reasons. This is what I heard while Quincey was using slang. They like that y'all...
Now, for some people, this song would rightfully trigger a fight or flight response. For me... the only possible reaction is to throw my head back and sing along. Poorly, of course, it doesn't deserve to be sung well.

23 - Friends Duets
Tumblr media
Everything Changed At 21
Part 24
Tag list @abaker74 @bvbwestfall
Moaning with a pounding in my head I rolled over in the bed of the hotel room. The other side of the bed shifted where I felt an arm wrapping around my waist groaning too. "I can't believe I listened to you. Tequila is terrible idea lukey!" He buried his face into my shirt mumbling his sentence then starting to fall asleep almost completely ontop of me. "Blame Blake for that...he always wants a drink." I closed my eyes thinking that we would just lay in bed all day until the phone started ringing. Rummaging around on the nightstand I thought I had grabbed my phone but I heard Blake's voice through the phone meaning it was Luke's. "Hey brother, I just got the best idea ever. How about you and your girl prefom on stage with me. Oh and her friend can too if she wants." Flipping back over I accidentally knocked Luke almost out of the bed making him groan loudly. "Urgh Y/n...what the hell!"
"Blake wants us to prefom with him, even Chloe!" I squealed jumping up and down iterating my hangover headache but I couldn't care because this was too insane. "You couldn't just say that in a normal tone baby..." Luke grumbled rubbing his forehead pulling the pillow over his face wanting me to stop squealing his ears out. "Yes I'm killing you right now but this isn't an everyday thing for me!" I climbed ontop of him holding the pillow up so I could see his face. He looked disgruntled but he gives me a kiss hearing Blake still on the phone that I had thrown at the foot of the bed. "He's still on the phone darling." Flipping my back to him I pressed the phone to my ear grinning from ear to ear. "We'd love too. Chloe is gonna flip her lid." Hanging up the phone I squealed feeling arms flip me backwards where Luke nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. "I'm happy for you...now let's go back to sleep for five hours yeah." Laying my head down I kissed his forehead smiling in my sleep.
Chloe is pacing back and forth in front of me like she might throw up but this time it wasn't because of the baby growing inside of her. "Y/n, this is nuts. You and I are about to - prefom with two country singers." Grabbing her shoulders I sighed hoping to calm her down since I didn't want her to get sick on stage. "Chloe it's gonna be okay. Just imagine it's you and Carter singing in the car and you'll be good." She gulped grabbing the microphone and following me to where we were told to wait. "Well the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles. Run ole Bocephus through a jukebox needle. At a honky-tonk, where their boots stomp. All night; what? That's right." Luke walked out onto the stage joining his friend making the crowd cheer even louder. "Yea, and what they call work, digging in the dirt. Gotta get it in the ground 'fore the rain come down. To get paid, to get the girl. In your 4 wheel drive (A country boy can survive."
"Yea the boys 'round hereDrinking that ice cold beer. Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout Trucks. Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust. The boys 'round here. Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs. Backwoods legit, don't take no shot. Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit. Aw heck. Red red red red red red redneck." Both boys turned to each singing together before I intertwined my hand with my best friends. "Well the boys 'round here, they're keeping it country. Ain't a damn one know how to do the dougie." Luke pointed to his friend asking. "You don't do the dougie?" Blake shook his head singing solo. "No, not in Kentucky. But these girls 'round here yep, they still love me." Squeezing my friends hand Chloe and I confidently started dancing out onto the stage me singing solo first. "Yea, the girls 'round here, they all deserve a whistle. Shakin' that sugar, sweet as Dixie crystal." She smiled squeezing my hand following after. "They like that y'all and southern drawl. And just can't help it cause they just keep fallin'."
Luke holds his hand out for me pulling me away from Chloe so Blake throws his arm over her shoulder watching the two of us. "Hey now girl, hop inside. Me and you gonna take a little ride to the river. Let's ride (That's right). Lay a blanket on the ground. Kissing and the crickets is the only sound. We out of town. Have you ever got down with a...Red red red red red red redneck? And do you wanna get down with a...Red red red red red red redneck?" Luke leaned down like he was gonna kiss me then pointed in my best friends direction announcing to the stadium. "My fiancée best friend Chloe Blake ladies and gentlemen!" Blake spins Chloe around the stage singing to her. "Girl you gotta get down. With the boys 'round here. Drinking that ice cold beer. Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks. Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust." She blushed raising the microphone up to her mouth singing back to him. "The boys 'round here. Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs. Backwoods legit, don't take no shot. Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit."
"Red red red red red red Redneck. (Ooh let's ride). I'm one of them boys 'round here. (Ooh let's ride). Red red red red red red redneck. (Ooh let's ride)." Chloe and I sang let's ride until the four of us all joined together for the big finish of the song. "Well all I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and me, how we'll be. So come on girl, hop inside. Me and you, we're gonna take a little ride. Lay a blanket on the ground. Kissing and the crickets is the only sound. We out of town. Girl you gotta get down with a...Come on through the country side. Down to the river side." Chloe throws her head in relief getting spun around a few times by Blake. Jumping instantly into Luke's arms he holds me up by legs capturing his lips with mine as the crowd roared with applause. Once we're back stage Carter came up with my phone saying it had been blowing up the whole time. "What is it honey?" Luke asked wrapping his arms around me from behind. Opening the newest email it was from the publisher about my book. "It's about my book, Luke. Oh god..."
Cliffhanger....what should the email say??
Comments really appreciated ❤️

"It was just really like, two broken people that just started just leaning on each other," the "Hollaback Girl" singer expressed regarding the initial stages of her relationship with the country crooner.
"I mean, we are the most unexpected people to be friends, but we had so much in common," she admitted.

At the time, a lot of their similarities allowed them to connect "in a bad way," though the pair eventually "found out there was way more than just our tragedy that we had in common."
"He became my best friend. And here we are, like almost 10 years later, right? Well, Apollo's gonna be 10, so maybe 9 years," Stefani detailed of joining The Voice as a judge in September 2014, just months after welcoming her third child with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, in May of that same year. (The former spouses also share sons Kingston, 17, and Zuma, 15.)

Recalling the moment of fate when she was asked to join the reality singing competition series nearly a decade ago, the 54-year-old explained: "I get a call, everyone's over at my house, and I'm sitting there with my lawyer, my parents, and my niece was there seeing the baby."
The person on the other end of the line was Shelly Azoff, whose husband Irving became Stefani's manager in July 2014.
"She's like, Christina Aguilera's pregnant, do you want to do The Voice? And I was like, I never really watched the show. Like, my parents watched it [and] my sister, [but] when was I gonna watch that? You know what I mean? I'm busy. So, I was like, OK. Everyone's like, 'do it, do it.' And I was like, OK. So, that was the start of the new — that was the second miracle," she sweetly shared.
Stefani elaborated: "The first miracle was getting pregnant. The second was The Voice. And then the third was, obviously, meeting Blake."
The "Rich Girl" singer started dating Shelton in November 2015, more than one year after she joined the NBC show. In October 2021, the "Boys 'Round Here" singer popped the question. The lovebirds tied the knot the following year.

"Tuesday night marked Blake Shelton’s first appearance at RodeoHouston in six years and the sixth time he’s mounted the famous revolving stage in the middle of the stadium. Shelton’s brand of workhorse country has always been aggressively crowd-pleasing.
Shelton started the night with the fiery testimonial “God’s Country” — a sort of “A Country Boy Can Survive” update from 2019. Five years on, it seems to have kicked in the doors for the likes of Jelly Roll and Hardy. Fittingly, the latter has a songwriting credit for it, vibe-checking the Charlie Daniels Band and Bocephus along the way.
Shelton is an elder statesman of sorts in the corner of the pop country world that he inhabits alongside fellow 2024 performers Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley. The aw shucks everyman with a truck bed full of hooks and an earnest twang beating under his sweaty pearl snap Poncho shirt.
To the delight of every beating heart in NRG Stadium, Shelton’s wife of three years, Gwen Stefani, joined him onstage for one of the dynamic duo’s many duets they’ve recorded together — “Nobody But You” and “Purple Irises.” Keen eyes probably knew something was up when a black SUV rolled up near the stage in the middle of Shelton’s set. The recently-released music video for Gwen-centric “Irises” shows the pair clad in couture denim in a vintage living room swooning like Kenny and Dolly. If wedding songs are still a thing, add it to the Spotify playlist.
“Holy hell Gwen Stefani came out here and sang tonight,” Shelton said, looking genuinely flushed and revving up his cover of George Jones’ “Ol’ Red.”
When the towering Okie debuted on country radio airwaves in 2001 with “Austin” he was up against Brooks & Dunn and Lonestar for FM supremacy. The song that broke Shelton open wide made its way late into Tuesday night’s setlist and got the smartphone flashlight nebula treatment, a high honor at RodeoHouston.
“What kind of people come out here in Houston to a stadium to watch a rodeo and then a damn country music concert on a Tuesday night?” Shelton chuckled, launching into “Hillbilly Bone”.
Lock in Houston, this horsey ride lasts until March 17.

I like that Blake changed his lineup of songs for RodeoHouston. So happy for everyone who got to witness Blake and Gwen.
