my insane person thought of the day is what if the asaka i fell in love with is completely mischaracterised bc of how mistranslated this series is .. and my rational person counterbalance is that there is no way that is possible bc the mistranslations aren’t even THAT bad and you’ve already read a few asaka parts in japanese and he sounds pretty much the same but like imagine .......
#this was originally going to be a hashtag funny tweet but i realised i have so much to say about this matter#and i love talking in the tags as it has been established countless times#like there are certain junctures were the translations are just so lazy like 草色 as grass green instead of dark green but LIKE#in general they are not so bad ..... they just translate it directly and it works for some things but then it doesn’t work for others#there’s no way they could’ve butchered something into sad and beautiful but it would be so funny#how do you explain that your fave character only exists in a shoddily translated english version and you’ve projected everything onto him#i would cry#this yaking session has been brought to you mainly by the mistranslation of yuichi’s words in the student council room confrontation scene#like the translated bit of i’m gonna put you first now is cute too ig but like#THE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT OF SAYING HE WANTED TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND OVER WATARU FOR ONCE ...... BC HE THOUGHT HE WAS LOSING OUT#BC CMON HES ALWAYS BEEN PUTTING WATARU FIRST AND ITS PRECISELY BC HE THINKS HES LOSING OUT BEING THE ONE MORE IN LOVE WITH WATARU THAN WA#THAN WATARU WITH HIM I RAN OUT OF CHARACTER LIMIT JUST SCREAMINGG#literally my favourite dynamic esp for bitch boy who never lets anyone see his clingier vulnerable side .... god#i sat there for 5 minutes just pondering on life and omfg sekakoi op1 just came on shuffle as i was typing IRRELEVANT BUT HIIII#ok anyway rereading vol 1 just reminded me that actually ...... i do like bitches apart from asaka too#oh ya i realised i forgot to say i finished vol 1 yesterday but i did it was gr8#the first time i read the series i loved all of them until asaka suddenly crept up and stole all my braincells and now when i reread I just#only read the asaka parts so i end up not gaf about everyone else but they’re good too ...... wataru and yuichi y’all got me fucked up#ok the end i have been talking for SO LONG and will probably tell all of this to oomf who i’m meeting soon to lend vol 1 to anyway ^_^

Midnight
Tumblr media
A/N: Anon request- Can you write a short fic where your the love interest in a music video for them and you play all of their girlfriend but they dunno ur cheating then they corner you. Ig it could be to like Midnight and then after the shoot u find urself falling for Ashton.
I fell for him during the shoot, but I think the overall idea is still there. Hope you like it! Feel free to give me feedback, guys
And away, and away we go!
~~~
I tried to settle my nerves as I walked towards the set. Trying to make it big in LA as an actress was about to pay off. Okay, so a music video wasn’t necessarily the big time I had imagined for myself, but it was a well-known band.
I had dressed simply in jeans and a t-shirt with slip-on shoes, not bothering to do too much appearance wise, knowing production would turn me into the heartthrob leading lady the music video was having me play.
Yeah, my first big time was the love interest in a music video where I was everybody’s love interest. And a cheater… Great, I was creating a bad girl rep. Well, better the girl that screws everyone over than gets screwed over herself.
~~~
“So, you’re the girl, huh?” a voice said behind me.
I turned, pressing a hand to my mouth to covering my chewing, hurriedly swallowing the chips I had just crammed in there. “Mmm, mhm,” I mumbled. “Sorry, hi,” I said to the tall man standing before me. Even if I didn’t recognize him, which I did, the drumsticks clenched in one fist was a dead giveaway. “I’m Y/N. You must be Ashton,” I said, dusting my chip crumbs off my fingers on my jeans before I offered him my hand to shake.
“Ash is fine,” he said, shaking my hand. “Everyone calls me that.”
“Nice to meet you, Ash,” I smiled, feeling my heart race in my chest. I was a lucky girl to play the love interest to this cutie and his equally cute band mates.
“Chips, huh?” he smirked, reaching past me to grab a small handful and put them in his own mouth.
“Eating helps calm my nerves.”
He swallowed and then let out a giggle I was all too familiar with. “Good. We need more actresses who can eat.”
“The industry's tough, and eating disorders are no laughing matter.”
“I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. It’s just normally I spend a lot of time making sure the girls in our videos are eating.”
“Oh, that’s very big brother-y of you. But, I’m good, thanks.”
“Cool. And for the record, you don’t need to be nervous. You’re not shooting any scenes today.”
“I’m not?”
He gave a shake of his head, the single brown lock not obeying the confines of hair product swaying wildly. “Nah, we’re playing the song a few times to get the different angles, figure out which shots were gonna use. Then, tomorrow we’ll do the acting bit.”
I frowned, pulling a script out of my back pocket, flipping through it. “I think I’m supposed to be dancing in those shots.”
He brought a hand to his mouth in thought. “Hmm, maybe. Either way, 1.) don’t be nervous and 2.) you should come out with us tonight when we wrap from the day.”
“Hang out with you? And the rest of your band? Really?”
He shrugged. “Yeah, why not? Builds better on-screen chemistry.”
There was no arguing with that logic. I wanted to do a good job on this, so I’d get more jobs in the future. Plus, it was an offer to hang out with 5SOS. No way I was passing that up.
~~~
“Hey, we’re gonna roll out,” Ashton told me, once we were done for the day.
I wiped a hand across my mouth to catch the water that had spilled out from my too big of a sip of water. “Cool, um, text me the address, and I’ll meet you guys there.”
He scoffed. “Nah, c’mon.”
“I…” I pointed in the direction of my car. “I…”
“They’re making you drive here every day? Cheap fucks… No. I’m putting you up in the hotel with us.”
“I don’t live far…”
“I don’t care. We sometimes work long hours, and you already look exhausted. You’re not driving home every day to get a few hours of sleep when you can stay with us across the street.”
It was true. After dancing around to them playing the same song, even my dancer’s body was wiped. But, his offer was too much. I’d never be able to afford to pay for a hotel for however long this took, and I wasn’t the type to accept help I couldn’t repay “Ashton, you don’t have to do that.”
“It’s Ash, and I know I don’t have to. I want to. Now, c’mon, love interest, let’s hit the town.”
If he kept looking at me like that, my feelings were going to transfer off-screen real fast.
~~~
“You move gracefully,” Calum told me as we sat on the floor of the hotel room a few nights later. “Like it feels natural when I spin you around in our scenes. You’re a nice change of pace from other girls we’ve worked with.”
I laughed, thinking back to earlier. All my scenes with the boys had been different, highlighting the boys’ individual personalities. All of my playful bed scenes with Luke transformed into whatever scene I had with the other boys: dancing with Calum, videogaming with Mike, and a view of the city with Ashton. Each was sensual and playful in it’s own way, and they all transformed into the same sad shot of the boys rolling over in bed hoping to find me. “Thanks,” I said, “You got some moves yourself, Cal.”
“Is that part of your training or whatever? Like they teach that in actress school?” Mike asked.
I laughed. Actress school. “I mean, I majored in theatre arts. But, I went to a regular college. I didn’t go to like Juilliard, or NYADA, or something. Just a regular state school. But, yeah. Part of that education was dance based. Ballet, tap, modern,” I said, checking off all the types of dancing I had done, “Your basic stage stuff.”
“Ballet?” Luke asked.
“Yes, not all of us are magically gifted at lifting our long ass legs in the air while wearing skinny jeans. Some of us have to work at it.”
The blue-eyed blond laughed. It was a cute laugh. He was cute. They were all cute. But my interest was locked on the hazel-eyes man with the boyish giggle.
~~~
“Alright, Y/N,” the director was telling me. “You just locked eyes with all your boyfriends, and they’re realizing that they’ve all been dating you, and that you’ve been playing all of them.”
“So, am I scared?”
“Play it however it feels right to you.”
“10-4, boss man,” I said.
“Alright, places!”
I jumped in place on my mark, shaking out my nerves. This was it. I had been given complete creative control over my character. And she was gonna go for the plot twist that hopefully would translate my on-screen love affair into an off-screen one. 
“And action!”
The last chords of the song rang out and the boys- after sharing a look mixed with confusion, then anger- moved from their stage setup and across the floor to me. 
I offered a waggle of my fingers as all four men stalked towards me, an “oops?” smile on my lips.
They either glared, rolled their eyes, or crossed their arms as they stopped in front of me.
I shot a wink at them before I closed the distance between Ashton and me. I jumped a little to get my arms around his neck, my legs wrapping around his waist as I planted a kiss on those lips I’d been thinking of kissing for days.
For not expecting this move, Ashton responded in an instant, one arm wrapping under my ass and the other across my back to hold me to him, which is what I expected would happen. What I didn’t expect was for him to kiss me back, his tongue opening my mouth to mingle with mine.
“Alright, cut!” someone called out, but Ashton and I didn’t care. We we’re busy.
“Ashton! Y/N!”
We broke apart then, me still in his arms, both of us breathless and giggling. “Well, that wasn’t in my script,” Ashton told me.
“Improv, my dear boy,” I told him, leaning out of his arms to dip towards the floor, able to support my weight with just my legs around the waist.
“Whoa, there,” he said, dipping with me and bringing us both up, but still not setting me down on my own feet, which was more than fine by me. I liked being in his arms.
“He’s right, Y/N. That wasn’t in the script,” the director was telling me.
“But, we’re keeping it right?” Mike asked, already watching the scene play over on one of the screens.
“Yeah, this shot is gold, mate,” Calum told him.
“Our faces are perfect,” Luke said.
Ashton carried us over to look for ourselves. 
I saw myself wink before my body leapt forward at Ashton, his hands instinctively catching me. The shock on his face melted into something that looked like relief, as my lips attached to his, his body relaxing into the kiss. The shock on the other boys’ faces was pure disbelief and then a small shrug of acceptance. It was the perfect unscripted shot. “Oh, that’s going in the finished product,” Ashton said.
The director sighed.
“You said play whatever felt right,” I told him, refusing to let him make me feel bad for my choice. “Showing that I chose one of them felt right. So I chose.”
“You chose? Or your character chose?” Ashton smirked at me.
“Kiss me again off camera, and find out,” I winked.

mm ok i’m gonna talk about my day sorry for any typos
so today we made вареники at svitlana’s house. i don’t know how thats actually translated. varenyky? ok. well we went to go make varenyky at her house. and Van drove me. he’s a linguist and i know him well, we go to Polish stuff together. and he’s chill to talk to. and i wore my new skirt today; i hate skirts usually but wanted to look nice. ok not hate anymore, it turned out ok. this one girl anna, she complimented me on it, that was nice. she’s really nice
and there’s this one dude i sorta like. his name is dexter. he’s from socal too which is cool. i wish he would talk about it w me bc i get homesick sometimes. he laughs at my jokes, which is nice of him. like one time, i forget why, he made the self-deprecating ‘kill me now’ joke and i told him only if he signed an agreement bc otherwise svitlana would blame me; he laughed a lot, it’s nice
there were 9 of us making varenyky today and dexter stood next to me. which is feat bc i stood way off to the side, but he settled next to me. he kept feeling bad about his varenyky so i tried cheering him up (i wouldve done this anyway, i think) and he laughed a lot. and we sat next to each other when we actually ate and he told me about his hometown (i wont say it here but i do know it well, its a good town imo, fave town in socal). i didnt talk to him much tho. and i didnt speak much in general, but i did get tipsy on beer lmao. i made this one joke about how after talking about socal w dexter and then hearing about indy from others, i’m sitting here thinking what i must’ve thought when picking out a uni. like i must’ve sat there and thought “man my hometown sucked a lot, but i think i can do worse. let’s try the midwest”. dexter laughed first
and later on before i left, i offered to read my est. translation of a shevchenko poem for Van so i got svitlana and read it. svitlana told me “I know you have a good Estonian accent, bc sometimes when you speak Ukr I can hear something else to it”. i find that so funny, PK tells me often how I speak Est w a Ukr accent. i let my accents do that v consciously tho; it’s not purist but it shows where my loyalties lie ig lol. but so i speak Est better when i’m tipsy so I read my poem so well, it sounded really pretty. Dexter heard it the night before and he smiled again this time. so i told him n Van some linguistic facts about Est
i went to atlas w marisa next. she invited & i never go out. we drank w her friends and marisa is nice. there was this one guy jake, he hugged me upon meeting me, what a darling. he is happily and queerly engaged, what a bae. but i didnt talk to him much when Van came, and then i sat w Van for a bit and talked about my upcoming conference and such. then he left to sit w his friends so i made to join him but jake stopped me. and we talked for so long, he’s so cute. i told him how i’m just a historian and he made me say “I am a historian” a bunch of times for the confidence boost and told me how important and interesting my studies are. he asked me about Ukr and how it formed and i told him. we hugged a lot and he held my hands and he kissed my knuckles. he’s considering moving to SD w his partner and i told him i love the city but want him to know how expensive it is; told him to reach out if he has questions about socal. i picked him up at one point and he was like wait no watch this,and just, so ever gently picked me off the ground and into a hug i am like.. i am in love w this entire being. he said ‘i love you’ a lot & told me i’m amazing. we have our own handshake. easily the best interaction of the night, i love loud queer ppl, they put me at such ease. and he was so free w his emotions. when he was leaving i rant to him for one last hug and after it he said wait no, i need one more. i have him on fb now, hopefully i see him again. he was so so nice, i’ve never had someone make me feel useful for being a historian omg
then i was back w Van and he drove me home. i told him my stories from Pol and he exchanged some too. and we had a debate about using language as an ethnic identifier and how to go about it academically, which was interesting. at least he had points to his argument. i like Van, hands down the best student linguist i know
i think that’s it ??? ok so from like 5pm onwards today was a good day

Current Music Obsessions: September 1 - 15, 2018
The first half of September's obsessions are here! Let's see those honorable mentions.
New Years Day - Disgust Me Tragedy of Mine - Built to Resist Soul Desire - Ignite Ethernity - The Prototype My Reflection - Homeland Dayshifter - Serpent Eyes Distorted Harmony - For Ester Clouds - Dor Gabbie Hanna - Honestly / Honestly (Encore) Distorted Harmony - Someday Epica - Wings of Freedom Sacrificed - To Whom You Belong Sacrificed - Spiral Down Eva Under Fire - The Strong Psyclon Nine - Crown of the Worm Skyharbor - Sunshine Dust Niburta - Evolution feat. Dou Kalender A Metaphor for Betrayal - Don't Let Go Shadygrove - Scarlet Wood Eve's Apple - Stargazer (live at MFVF 2013) Ariana Grande - Breathin
And now for the main ones.
1. Artemis Rising - Awaken
Found this through Spaceuntravel and I'm shocked by how much it grew on me. I kept saying that I didn't like it that much, but I was wrong. I really dig this track. There's something about the chorus that just gets me.
2. Elsiane and Rich Shapero - On the Winds of Sleep
This track is so lovely. The strings are so haunting a beautiful. And those unique vocal lines. Yes. Such a great track to just chill to. I think I'll have to give this album a listen.
3. Kalafina - Lacrimosa
I was told to check this song out after mentioning that I got obsessed with Magia. So glad I did, because this song is gorgeous. I'm on my way to discovering other songs by them now. This song reminds me so much of the .hack//G.U. soundtrack so much for some reason, which is part of the reason why I love it so much.
4. Dol Ammad - The Nova Temple
The first single off the amazing new album they dropped. If you like progressive symphonic metal, choirs, sci-fi themed lyrics and some electronics, give this a listen. This is a great track off the album, but it's not my favorite. My favorite will be making an appearance soon, I guarantee it.
5. While Heaven Wept - Icarus and I
I wound up rekindling my love for this doom track. I discovered this song when it first dropped several years ago and completely forgot about it. I love the vibe of it and the clean singer has a great voice. I'm definitely gonna check out more from them.
6. Fefe Dobson - Save Me From LA
I thank Miles Jai for putting it out there that she dropped a new song recently. Take Me Away was my jam as a tween, so I knew I had to check this out. It's very different from Take Me Away, but it's a great jam nonetheless. Very chill and catchy.
7. Enemy of Reality - A Gift of Curse
I wound up rekindling my love for Arakhne and found myself obsessing over this song. It's the last track on this epic concept album and embodies Athena's feelings towards Arakhne perfectly. It has the perfect amount of power and beauty to truly capture every bit of emotion she had in that moment of turning Arakhne into a spider and granting her immortality so she could weave beautiful webs for all eternity.
8. Exlibris - Ascension
Inertia is a pretty good album, but this is hands down my favorite. It's full of so much power and emotion. A perfect track to close off an album. That final chorus is everything.
9. Brooke Candy - My Sex feat. Pussy Riot, Mykki Blanco and MNDR
I feel as if Brooke Candy is coming back to her old style and I'm so happy about it. That hard, don't give a fuck sound is back. This song goes in. I'm especially a big fan of Pussy Riot's verse, even though I haven't read the translations yet. Her voice is just so good and sincere, even when singing a song talking shit about police officers. So excited to hear what else Brooke has in store for us. I hope a Cupcakke collab is on its way.
10. Starkill - Until We Fall
This is their newest single and holy shit is it epic. The production on this track alone is so much better than the production on their last album, so I have super high hopes for it. So much raw energy and power and aggression. This is the best way to get people hyped for an upcoming release. And Sarah SLAYED this track with them high notes. So much yes.
11. Diablo Swing Orchestra - Lady Clandestine Chainbreaker
I was on a DSO kick one day and fell in love with this song. It's such a fun track and their new singer pulls it off perfectly. The guitars don't kick in till later in the song, but honestly it make sense. They would've taken away from the dancey vibe of the song.
12. Northward - While Love Died
Floor Jansen is back! I'm so hyped for this new project of hers. I know it's meant to be a hard rock project, but I hope she throws in some growls and maybe some classical bits into it. Pretty much anything to make up for the let down that was Endless Forms Most Beautiful. This is such a fun and bombastic track. Goodbye ;)
13. School of Seven Bells - Open Your Eyes
This is such a chill track. I think I found it on a guy's IG story one day and decided to check it out. It's such a cute and pretty electronic track. I really want to hear more from these guys. I really need to find more artists like this.
I'm shocked this one isn't too long, but then again I haven't been that successful at purging my watch later playlist soooo. Just keep an eye out for a super long one dropping in the future.
