7/12/23.
I've heard of both Modern Baseball and Slaughter Beach, Dog (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), but I don't think I ever listened. The common denominator between the two is the music of Jake Ewald.
Too bad I didn't tune in before now. Slaughter Beach, Dog's music scratches my itch for Americana. Think Tom Petty, Son Volt, and The War on Drugs.
But there's more at work here. There's a songwriting/melody structure that reminds me a bit of Zusammen Clark, Fortunato Durutti Marinetti or at times Black Country, New Road (without the orchestration).
Lame-O Records (Philadelphia) is releasing this in late September 2023.

This is some damn great power pop with old school influences on its sleeve (Byrds, 70s power pop, Dwight Twilley) but contemporary enough to identify itself as non-wholly-retro. Methinks it's also influenced by 'emo' and what passes nowadays for "punk" but (mostly) without the almost insulting (to this old school punker) saccharine teen stupidity of both genres. Good job, junior. I dig it. If you cut it on vinyl, I'm there.

One amp. One mic. One person. Countless hooks. That’s the Dazy formula. Since first releasing the single Bright Lights b/w Accelerate in August 2020, Dazy mastermind James Goodson has been writing, recording, and releasing new music like a man on the hunt to find the best pop hook, and he won’t stop until he’s put all of them into his songs. With the release of MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD: The First 24 Songs, Convulse Records collects all of the singles and EPs from Dazy’s first year onto one tape. And because Goodson can’t stop making things, there’s five brand-new songs up top to prove there’s plenty more in the tank.
Showcasing a unique set of influences, Dazy’s sound marries thumping drum machine beats, blasts of feeding back guitar, and sugar-sweet hooks into something that sounds like Godflesh covering Oasis—or maybe the other way around. With lean songwriting that recalls Teenage Fanclub but a home-recorded production style better suited for Big Black, Goodson builds a constant churn of abrasive, consuming noise and then makes it catchier than anyone else would ever dare to.

Dazy Live Show Review: 1/18, Sleeping Village, Chicago
Tumblr media
BY JORDAN MAINZER
The first time I heard Dazy, I went in cold. My wife sent me a link to a YouTube video of a song she was digging, “Invisible Thing” from MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD: The First 24 Songs. I, too, was instantly hooked, from the opening blast of drum machine and the atonal My Bloody Valentine-esque guitars to the hooks and the singer’s voice, which toed the perfect line between choral and bratty. Listening more and doing some digging, I was pleasantly surprised to find Dazy was the bedroom rock project of James Goodson, the same publicist I’d worked with when covering bands such as Drug Church and Tony Molina. Like the latter, Goodson makes brief, punchy, catchy as hell pop rock, but I’d posit his output is even more varied. The standouts on MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD diverge a ton in tempo and mood, like the candied shuffle of “Crowded Mind (Lemon Lime)” versus the fuzzed-out vigor of “See The Bottom”. In March last year, Dazy collaborated with L.A. hardcore punk band Militarie Gun on his biggest shout-along yet, the anthemic earworm “Pressure Cooker”. In October, he followed it up with his proper debut album, OUTOFBODY (Lame-O), which emphasized what Dazy does best while adding elements of both Evan Dando’s sweetness and Britpop melancholia.
Tumblr media
Wednesday at Sleeping Village was Dazy’s Chicago debut, and hearing the songs in a full band setting felt familiar and new at the same time. Dazy’s trademark concision was in full-form; slated to go on at 11:00 P.M., the band took the stage about 12 minutes early, in the middle of their 8th song 5 minutes past their original start time. But some of their most beloved songs got that extra bit of muscle and deliberation, like the comparatively slow drums of “Deadline” and the extra meat of the snares and cymbals on “Crowded Mind (Lemon Lime)”. As a frontman, Goodson proves just as effective as he is a one-man-band mastermind. I couldn’t help but notice that he sung Militarie Gun vocalist Ian Shelton’s verse on “Pressure Cooker” slightly differently than he did his own, cleverly subverting, then matching your initial expectations. The band finished a clean sub-30 minute set with the very song that introduced me to Dazy, speedy snares replacing the drum machine intro, the guitars taking on the full psychedelic wah wahs that you might think they have from Dazy’s work with Dinosaur Jr. engineer Justin Pizzoferrato. Dazy might continue to grow and expand their sound here and there, but their roots are firm.

superviolet - “locket”
Tumblr media
Photo by Kosoma Jensen
superviolet -- the moniker of former the Sidekicks frontman Steven Ciolek -- is in a sense, a state of being in two places at once inside your own head. Revered for his past life as a punk stalwart while moving toward a new chapter where Ciolek’s songwriter is softened around its edges by warm grazes of alternative-country on its shoulders and pop-rock sprites in its steps, the duality of that creative being clasps together on “locket”, the latest preview from superviolet’s forthcoming debut full-length, Infinite Spring. This is Ciolek warring with his own doubts at their most extra while inviting in that hard examination. “In love, but alone / Out but in my head I’m still at home / How come all my troubles / Turn into thought bubbles?,” he wonders, behind him a steady crinkle of acoustic strumming and punky pop-folk jamming that helps make some space for all the thoughts he’s running away with. “I’m a locket with my own face in the frame / I’m just one good look / From getting right back in your brain." It would appear the train of thought may be a circular one, but Ciolek sure steers it smoothly.

superviolet’s Inifinite Spring will be released April 21st on Lame-O Records.

U.S. Highball "Marge's Second Christmas" (2022)
U.S. Highball “Marge’s Second Christmas” (2022)
Lame-O Records/Bingo RecordsBuy: Bandcamp I’m not shy when it comes to hunting down Christmas tunes. I was scouring indiepop Facebook, spot-checking bands with keyword searches, and came across the Scottish indiepop band U.S. Highball. The two members of U.S. Highball had both been in the band The Pooches, who released a 4-song Christmas EP a number of years back and was no longer available.…

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.
Tumblr media
On today's episode, I talk to musician Attia Taylor. Originally from Philadelphia, Attia is a writer and musician based in New York City. She is the founder of Womanly Magazine, a publication dedicated to providing accessible health information to women and non-binary people through visual and literary art. She is also half of the psych-pop band Strange Parts, and has been writing and releasing music under her own name since 2009. Her first full album, Space Ghost, was just released this summer on Lame-O Records!
I'm on Twitter here and you can get the show with:

butterfly — gojo satoru x f!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: eee it’s been a while; I hope I didn’t get rusty 🧍‍♀️
Tumblr media
your little girl has been independent ever since she came out of your womb. you’re pretty sure that if it was up to her, she would’ve walked out by herself.
anyway.
she was quickly able to hold her little bottle on her own—satoru couldn’t have been prouder. add to that her very smug look while she was doing it; it’s high school satoru all over again. she is also pretty intelligent for her age; she is able to get through the idea she wants, one way or another.
for example, you remember that one time when she wanted to go out, but wasn’t able to get it through as directly as she wanted. so, since she couldn’t reach the front door on her own yet, she made use of her surroundings.
during that time, satoru was too busy cuddling you and telling you about what his students—kids—did at school.
conveniently for your daughter, however, your husband’s blindfold was put somewhere beside her, and your daughter, relating that he only wears it when he goes out, held it aggressively and started swinging it around, blabbering a bunch of nonsense.
hearing the call of your darling daughter, satoru quickly got there—he says it’s his daddy six sense, you say that your dear d/n simply knows how to get anyone’s attention. that has been proven more than a 100 times in the school.
“what’s up, baby? what can daddy do for you?” he knelt down in front of her, hands hovering over her sides in case she fell back.
“embah!” your daughter huffed and showed him his blindfold.
he tilted his head in confusion, “do you want to wear it?”
she frowned, shaking her head. she also realized that her papa is a big idiot so she opted for him to pick her up which he gladly did. then the little missy started pointing to certain directions.
and satoru obeyed, until they finally reached the front door.
“ohhh,” he then grinned at the little girl, “you wanna go out?”
her frown instantly disappeared and she threw her tiny arms around him, squealing and giving him her version of kisses.
he came to you later that day, boasting about how smart his little baby is, and that’s it probably the work of his genes and yours since the both of you are a “perfect match”.
following that, she was also able to get the hang of walking—more like waddling—fairly quickly.
so yeah, she is independent.
and that’s why her little independent self was trying to walk in the park on her own, refusing to be held by anyone.
you and satoru had no choice but to follow close by but far enough that she wouldn’t get sad.
it was a nice opportunity, your husband said, since you two can hold act all lovey dovey while still keeping an eye on the little princess on the run.
you are holding hands, gently swinging them. meanwhile, satoru has a camera in his other hand, recording his daughter’s every step.
“d/n! baby! look at daddy!”
shaking her head, she squeals and speeds up her waddling. that ushers satoru to start walking faster, dragging you with him, “‘toru, wait!”
“that little devil is not waiting for no one, pretty girl!”
the devil in question looks back only to see her dad’s smirk, and she knows well that it means trouble. her waddling intensifies and she tries widening her steps, but she ends up stumbling and falling to the ground, face first.
“oh no, d/n!” you gasp, quickly rushing to her side and carrying her in your arms, “you okay, baby?”
your husband is swiftly by your side, cradling both you and your daughter. a snort escapes your husband, however. he has to let his opinion known, “that was such a lame fall.”
“satoru!”
“what? it was—“
he is cut off by your daughter’s laughter as she claps her hands. she swings her legs and tries to wiggle out of your grasp to once again return to the wild—also read the park.
she successfully does so, and before going running towards the flowers, she gives you and satoru a kiss on the cheek. satoru takes advantage of your attention being diverted to press a sweet kiss on your other cheek, “our cutie is growing, see?”
“but I don’t want her to grow yet,” you murmur while your hands wrap around his waist. your eyes never leave your daughter who is following a little butterfly.
satoru blinks thoughtfully, before pouting himself, “me neither.”
your thoughts are stopped short by the excited scream of your daughter, “bata!”
“ma, pa, bata!” she runs towards you two, pointing at the blue butterfly resting on the flower.
you grin at her, “yes, d/n, a very pretty butterfly!”
the girl excitedly runs after said butterfly while you feel your husband nudge your shoulder lightly, “you know…”
you side-eye him, knowing that what’s coming next is one of his ‘genius’ ideas. he buries his face in the crook of your neck, “we could always make another one.”
you pinch him gently, and he dramatically yelps as always. your daughter is quickly back from her little expedition with quite the surprise as well.
she raises a flower, that she plucked, to you, and she smiles, “mama! pretty!”
“aww, d/n,” you kneel down, and she takes the freedom to situate the flower in your hair. you lovingly pull her into your embrace and start peppering her cute little face with smooches.
she is busy squealing and laughing while satoru pouts at the two of you. he gives his best puppy eyes to your daughter, “doesn’t daddy get a flower?”
d/n quickly shakes her head, so satoru switches to you, “babe, can I at least some kisses?”
a giggle escapes your lips, “it’s d/n time, ‘toru.”
and satoru gojo is, yet again, left to wallow in his pain of being rejected by his two pretty girls.
but fear not as you can always count on mr. squirrel to keep satoru company—if attacking your husband counts as keeping him company anyway.

9/4/22.
Mo Troper (Portland, Oregon) has another album out, and again he's playing all the instruments. He definitely has a knack for writing pop songs in the power pop vein.
I can't help but think of Scott Miller (Game Theory), Matthew Sweet or Michael Quercio (The Three O'Clock0 And there is a fuzz and brevity that remind me of Guided By Voices.
His voice can change so much - frankly, I'm assuming there is an effect used on "Tub Rules".
Lame-O Records (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is handling this release.

band!ellie headcanons and smau
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sinopse: ellie williams is the lead singer in a band (+some texts with her). i lost the resquest im so sorry!
cw: nsfw after the texts with warning! swearing, ellie's a changed woman after you, reader works in a record store and ellie's a simp.
part 2
✮ is obviously in a band with dina and jesse.
✮ cat was in the band when they started too, but they had massive drama when she and ellie broke up. (they're on good terms now tho! trust)
✮ they had a phase where they acted like they were both dating dina...(they were in a love triangle).
✮ got matching flash tattoos on their very first serious show.
✮ is kind of a fuckgirl and looooves her fans iykwim.
“just until i find the wife.” that's her lame excuse.
✮ the type of girl to have groupies and sign their tits.
✮ mets you at the fucking record store where you work.
"is that you?" you gather the courage to ask about what she was buying and she smiles proudly.
"it's our debut album."
"oh! congrats." you sigh before lifting your head to continue.
"i bought one this morning when they came in, thought it looked cool." and she has to ask for your number because why the hell did that make her heart melt.
✮ you initiate your first kiss after your lunch date and she just looks like she's never kissed before (:o)… awh she was NOT ready.
✮ 3 dates in and she's inviting you to a local show, having you in the front line. eye contact goes insane...
✮ you notice the girls drooling over her and tbh you feel a bit insecure.
✮ they bite their tongue when ellie leans over to you at the edge of the stage, singing to you, fingers on your chin.
✮ but soon enough she's on tour, she's texting you less and you try to move on.
✮ and you're soooo wrong for that because she's just busy and thinking about you.
✮ always talking about you to dina and jesse.
“i need to get back to my girl.” she's so delusional too.
✮ she's instantly only focused on you, weirdly adding your name in every cover of romantic songs they do at rehearsal.
✮ the first thing she does when she's back is run to the record store.
“how was the tour?” you asked, she's leaning on the counter and you take a step back.
“i missed you.” and you're not even thinking anymore.
✮ she wastes no time asking you to be her girlfriend after you cuss her out because she was late to one of your dates (it's hot asf).
✮ never beating the u-haul lesbian allegations after that.
✮ she's soooo daddy upstage but you know she wants and NEEDS to be babied.
✮ you were so upset she had a show on your birthday, but she called you on stage and serenaded you as if she was justin bieber or sum… flowers and everything. (she sang “one less lonely girl”)
Tumblr media
her fr^
✮ when she's out and fans stop her… she's so sweet and attentive but she wouldn't want to be late to see you
“sorry girls, the wife is waiting i have to go.”
texts with band!ellie
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
nsfw (cw: cunnilingus [e!receiving], strap on sex [r!receiving]. switch!ellie!!!!).
✮ absolutely loves good luck head when you're backstage.
“baby just needs some encouragement, am i right?” you ask softly between open mouthed kisses on her lower stomach and thighs. she nods. “yes… need your tongue.” she grunts, thrusting her hips. you start licking and kissing her slit and she can't help but grind against your tongue until she cums all over it.
✮ loves it when you ride her strap too, but she has to switch out and completely dick you down… with permission after not touching you for so long.
“please let me fuck that pussy.” she knows you're getting tired, since you didn't even slap her hand when she started rubbing your clit. “come on…” she spits down your clit. “tired, babe?” you nod breathlessly grinding on her lap. she fucks up into you “tell me i can fuck you…” but she's already doing it?? “f-fuck me, ellie.” and now she's grining and holding you flat. “damn, this pussy's split open.” as she bottoms that shit deep in you. she will fuck you stupid.
a/n: this is a lot but i enjoyed doing it... and.... my phone's charged!

Dazy, Lifeguard, & Illusion Of Choice Live Show Review: 12/4, Cobra Lounge, Chicago
Tumblr media
Dazy
BY JORDAN MAINZER
I'm not sure what Dazy does at a faster pace these days: tour or release tunes. Since we caught his Chicago debut of full-band arrangements in January, he's come to town twice more, including last night's stop at the Cobra Lounge. And mere months after releasing OUTOFBODY in 2022, in March, James Goodson shared songs recorded around the same time in the form of the cheekily titled OTHERBODY. The record continued the vibe of Dazy's debut LP, from the "Revolution" crunch of opener "I Know Nothing At All" to the sugary noise of "Every Little Thing". Just two months ago, Dazy shared the Ryan Hemsworth-assisted "Forced Perspective" (Lame-O), a collection of rounded country pop guitar riffs, a chirpy electric beat, and an uneasy, yet anthemic chorus.
Tumblr media
Dazy's James Goodson
Always writing and always playing, it must be hard for Goodson to pick a setlist on a nightly basis. A year-plus removed from OUTOFBODY and over two years from MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD: The First 24 Songs, Dazy's set at the Cobra Lounge felt like as close as you can get right now to "the hits," the crowd pumping fists, banging heads, and singing along to favorites "On My Way", "Split", "The Perfect Crime", "Pressure Cooker", and "Invisible Thing". I was just as happy, though, to see Goodson lean into the sweet, softer side of Dazy. "Forced Perspective", with its curly bass and guitar scrapes, was a highlight, as was "Every Little Thing", "could be a country hit" "Rollercoaster Ride", and set closer "Out of Body". "Is that my brain hanging by a thread?" Goodson sang on "Out of Body"; as much as he may have been disassociating at the time of writing the song, his everyday anxieties have certainly provided ample creative fodder for some of the best power pop of the past half-decade.
Tumblr media
Lifeguard
Chicago's Lifeguard opened for Dazy, which was perhaps anybody's final chance to see the band in an opening slot at a venue as small as Cobra Lounge. The hyped three-piece, formed in 2019, signed to Matador Records earlier this year. Let's get it out of the way: Yes, drummer Isaac Lowenstein's sister Penelope is in labelmates Horsegirl, and bassist Asher Case's father is Brian Case of FACS (and formerly of Disappears, The Ponys, and 90 Day Men). Thankfully, Lifeguard is a beast of its own, combining chanted vocals with clanging, metallic guitars and dexterous, repetitively pummeling drums. Earlier this year, Matador re-released the band's 2022 EP Crowd Can Talk along with a collection of new material, Dressed in Trenches. Live, Lifeguard showed what they're truly about: off-kilter time signatures, uneven song sections, moments where you can't tell when they're warming up or about to switch gears. When they played "17-18 Lovesong", Case's rounded bass and monotone vocals wiggled around Kai Slater's stabbing guitars and falsetto off-beat harmonies, though the band never let you get too comfortably hypnotized in a groove. They finished with their newest song, the uncharacteristically poppy and straightforward (yet very welcome!) "In The City". You never know what's next with Lifeguard, and they're just getting started.
Tumblr media
Illusion of Choice
Starting off the night was another local institution, four-piece shoegaze indie rock band Illusion of Choice. Most of their songs revolved around the atmospheres you'd expect with a genre descriptor like that: Alex Rackow's distorted guitars, Judith Pelkowski's heavy bass lines, Alex Boyajian's mammoth snares, and Tyler Tumminaro's sharp, nasal vocal delivery. Occasionally, they added elements of jangly surf, but for the most part, they chugged along deliberately, like on "Circling the Drain" and standout set closer "Bad Boy". Overall, Illusion of Choice offered an appropriate middle ground between Dazy's hooks and Lifeguard's deconstructed songs.

Recommended Album: dazy - ‘OUTOFBODY’
Tumblr media
James Goodson was raised on hardcore and has even made a career out of getting the word out on some of today’s most exciting artists within that circle. He knows the ins and out of where it’s been and where it’s going, and while his one-person project dazy isn’t explicitly heavy-edged like many of the bands he works with as their press dude, he maintains as much a bite in big decibel and big anthemry with feedback-piled power-pop-punk that’s an absolute blast on his proper debut full-length, OUTOFBODY. Pairing existential punk pessimism with sunblinded hooks, the dirty dozen of tracks harken back to the more alien vibes of the ‘90s alternative dial à la early Fountains of Wayne and Ash bleeding into the black-clad edges of the pit, with the Venn diagram overlap being feeling wholly alive despite the world burning down hard around you.
Highlights: “Split”, “Deadline”, “AWTCMM?”
OUTOFBODY by Dazy
dazy’s OUTOFBODY is available now on Lame-O Records.

I love your stuff and I've been dying to send in this request for Eddie 🥰 could you do something where he finds his S/O sobbing in the bathroom and just take it from there? I'm sure you'll come up with something wonderful. 😊😊😊
Tumblr media
summary: in which Eddie can't find you anywhere during a house party and then finds you sobbing in the second floor bathroom - but for an unexpected and hilarious reason.
tags: Eddie x gn!reader (no pronouns/descripitions), pure fluff, pure hilarity, getting drunk, lots of petnames (sunshine, angel, love), I loved writing this one
☆ word count: 1.2K+ ☆
a/n: ahhh YES I hope I did this justice! btw since you said S/O I made it a gn!reader
⚠️ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞.⚠️
Tumblr media
If being at a loud house party filled with people Eddie doesn't recognize isn't enough to get his anxiety acting up, not being able to find your sweet familiar face in the tangles of sweaty bodies on the dance floor is.
You're the one that dragged him here in the first place. Eddie probably would've showed up with a lame present for Steve, had one drink and then left within an hour, but you were insistent on sticking around until "the party dies down." Which, by your standards, is when the red-orange sun is coming over the horizon and the Harrington household's floorboards are indiscernable amongst the mess of empty beer bottles and plastic potato chip bags.
Shoving past a couple making out heatedly against the kitchen counter, Eddie's worried eyes scan the crowd once more. He spots Robin drinking alone by the balcony and Jonathan and Nancy sitting by the couch, but there's too many new faces. Most importantly, still no you. Narrowly missing a drunk girl stumbling past him and pushing through an argument between two jocks, he manages to reach Robin who grins at him, amused.
"I see you're still surviving this, and I quote, 'pretentious party.'" she teases, taking another swig from her bottle. Eddie rolls his eyes, rolling back his shoulders.
"Steve's a great dude and all but being the former king of Hawkins High has consequences. That being he invites practically half of the school, many of whom are slaves to the popularity rat race."
Robin chuckles at that.
"I won't disagree with you about that."
Eddie's trying to pay attention to the conversation he's having with Robin but it's hard when your missing presence feels so pronounced. Usually, you'd be right by his side, his fingers gently holding yours as you sway back and forth tipsy on alochol. The fact that he's standing there empty handed makes his stomach churn and head swirl with anxiety before looking back into the crowd once more, hoping to finally catch a glimpse of you.
"Hey, have you seen-"
Eddie doesn't even have to say your name before Robin's cutting him off.
"The love of your life? Your muse? Your sunshine? The person who makes you mushier than a plate of cafeteria mashed potatoes? No. Maybe try the second floor, I haven't been up there yet." she suggests, smirking when the slightest flush can be seen creeping onto Eddie's neck, semi-masked by the bright flashing party lights up ahead.
"Thanks."
Eddie dashes up the stairs in record time, the soles of his shoes squeaking against the floor as he surveys the empty hallway. Since most of the party is happening downstairs, it's remarkably quiet up here compared to the rest. There's a couple sharing a cigarette by an open window as well as a guy using the house phone to call someone, but otherwise, it's practically deserted.
Frowning, he walks forward hesitantly, pausing momentarily when he hears the muted sounds of someone crying on the other side of the bathroom door. He carefully knocks against the door a couple of times, back straightening up instantly when he hears your voice yell out from the other side that the bathroom is occupied.
His knuckles wrap around the door handle quickly before pushing, but it's locked.
"Sunshine? It's Eddie. Please let me in." he yells, softly budging against the door.
You sniffle once more.
"GO AWAY EDDIE! I don't wanna see... you."
You're slurring your words a bit, so he figures you're drunk or at the very least, very tipsy. It makes him even more desperate to be on the other side so that he can be comforting you (and more importantly) keeping an eye on you, because drunk you often likes to throw all logic and precaution out the window.
"I hate it when you're sad, love. Please let me in so I can help you." he begs, gently knocking against the door again.
The door rattles open after that and Eddie's quick to slip inside and lock the door behind the two of you. The sight he sees makes his heart break - your glassy eyes are staring hopelessly at the floor, irises red and tears falling carelessly down your cheeks. Your hair looks a bit messy, like you've been pulling at it in frustration, and you're curled up inside the bath tub in a fetal position.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Who did this to you?"
The questions fly out of his mouth immediately, worst case scenarios flooding his mind as his hands carefully cradle your face. You let out a sad chuckle in response, before pulling his arms back down to his sides.
"Nothing's wrong. No one did anything. I-I... I DID THIS TO MYSELF! I'M SO STUPID." you wail, bursting into tears once more. You're hysterical, hyped up on alcohol and heightened emotions, and Eddie's quick to envelope you into his arms.
"You are NOT stupid. Far, far from it. In fact, you're the smartest person I know. So why are you crying?"
You choke on a sob, peering up at him cautiously.
"I-I heard you telling Chrissy that you're not single anymore and that you can't go out with her on a date." you mutter, making his eyebrows shoot up in surprise.
"Oh?" he's confused, not sure of how that would be a problem.
"Eddie, I've been in love with you since I was eight, and now I'M TOO LATE! Y-YOU'RE TAKEN AND NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO WATCH YOU BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE-" you dramatically flail around in the bath tub and though Eddie feels a bit bad for doing so, he can't help but let out the rambunctious laugh bubbling in his throat.
In fact, Eddie's laughing so hard that it hurts to breathe, his body doubling over so that he can attempt to catch his breath whilst you pause your ranting and look up at him, hurt.
"W-why are you laughing?" you question, bewildered. But Eddie's face just softens at that, voice dropping to a low tone.
"Because, angel, I'm dating you. You're the one that took me off the market." he responds coolly, metal rings brushing against your cheek. His words and the cold texture of his rings wash over you like icy water, realization beginning to seep in.
"Oh..."
You're embarassed now, dropping your head and twiddling with your fingers. Eddie's grin is permanent and obnoxious, heart melting at how adorable drunken you can be.
"Then yay!"
You suddenly leap forward and hug Eddie by his waist, pulling him backwards into the bath tub. He manages to stop himself from falling completely on top of you by breaking his fall with his left arm, before twisting you around so that you can lie on top of him.
The melachonic expression on your face is no more, your eyes bright and your lips outstretched into a wide smile.
"You're dating me! I'm the one you're dating!" you repeat to yourself out loud, as if you can't believe it amongst your drunken haze. It elicits a chuckle from his chapped lips, your legs straddling his as Eddie sits up against the marbled tub to caress your cheeks. He smiles, pressing a chaste kiss on your forehead.
"Yes, sunshine. You're the love of my life."
