No there's no rhyme or reason to why these songs are on the poll other than I'm scrolling through my summer playlist on my iPod
There will be more, I'm not intentionally excluding XYZ song :)
Tell the reason why you picked the song you did in the tags!
#*gazes into the distance* I should make a summer playlist we can all listen to together#music#polls#just for fun

New neighbor (sweethearts Version)
Characters: Milo/Sweetheart
Type: slice of life
Tw: cursing.
The neighbor in question is female, please don’t come for me.
(It was a poll)
————
Sweetheart swiftly strode into the room, shorts and a tee shirt, relaxed and at ease. When they’d walked into the living room, they’d caught milo inspecting their bookshelf, now now of course milo was allowed to read from it. But it was in fact the books they’d hoarded since their teen years, and the specific genres didn’t seem like they’d appeal to Milo.
“Whatcha looking for stink-butt?” They jokingly asked, poking out behind him, resting their head on his shoulder.
He jumped at the sudden voice.
“God damnit sweetheart! You damn near gave me a heart attack!” He proclaimed breathing heavily, one hand clutching his tank top, bending over, with his other hand on his knee.
“Sorry Milo,” they chuckled to themselves, kissing his cheek “,it just riles you up to much to not scare you.”
He rolled his eyes, bringing them in his embrace, sourly hugging them. “Whatever you fuckin monster.” He mocked, kissing their head.
“Anyways,” they started, looking at Milo then back at the heavily stuffed bookcase. “,what are you lookin to read?” They asked, raising their eyebrows.
He looked at them, moving his hands to their waist.
“Ehh I dunno. I’m just sick of watching TV, ‘was looking for something to sit down and read.” He explained away, rubbing light circles in his sweethearts waist.
“Oh yeah that makes sense,” they muttered. “, I just don’t think you’d have interest in any of these- well actually hold on.” They broke of contact with Milo, turning to the shelf.
“You might like this one. It’s not bad. By bad I mean scary- like at all.” They chuckled, handing him some random Nancy drew book.
“Fitting.” He chuckled, picking the book up readying the blurb in a British accent.
“Shut up you asshole.” They laughed out loud, playfully slapping him upside his head.
He smiled lopsidedly, his canine tooth sticking out the bottom of his upper lip.
They smiled back at their beautiful boyfriend, gazing deeply into his enchanting sea foam eyes, observing his face, his freckles, scars, moles, and itty bitty hairs poking out from when he’d shaven earlier that day. They thought about how much they’d loved him. And always would love them.
“I love you milo” Sweetheart said, raspiness in their voice at their attempt to whisper. Milo smiled bigger, one of his eyes almost shutting.
“I love you too baby.”
They smiled, resting their head against his shoulder.
“Oh wait sweetheart i forgot something in the car, here come with me it’s for you.” Milo stated, moving swiftly towards the front door.
“What? Like a gift?,” they asked. Milo nodded. They begrudgingly groaned “,Milo…” they held the O longer than necessary.
“Oh come on Sweetheart. I swear I know you don’t like gifts, and I didn’t set out to buy you one, but I saw it and thought of you so I just had too!” He defended himself smiling.
They rolled their eyes and followed him out to His car.
As they walked outside they saw a woman, about their age, walking up to their house, holding flowers.
Sweetheart raised an eye brow.
“Here I’ll handle this you get the thing.” They whispered to milo, he nodded. They walked up to the woman, meeting her halfway.
The Woman smiled, Sweetheart recognized her— she was their neighbor across the street. She has a husband in the military, If the flag on her house had anything to say about it.
“Hi, Can I help you?” Sweetheart asked politely
“Hii I’m Katy, I’m your neighbor. Welcome into the neighborhood.” She exclaimed.
Sweetheart nodded with a smile “thank you.” They muttered.
Katy looked at them, then at the house behind them. “Is your husband home?” She asked, looking around.
“My- My.. Husband..?,” they paused “,oh you mean Milo. No he’s my boyfriend, and yeah he’s home, just in the garage.” They explained away.
“Boyfriend?..” Katy repeated with a gleam in her eyes. “,how long?” She asked with a shred of hope.
“Oh uh six years. Nearly seven.” They stated, sticking their hands in their pockets.
That surely made Katy feel a wee less hopeful.
She scowled oh so slightly, a fake smile plastered on her face.
“Oh well I’d love To meet him. You know, get to know the new neighbors.” She said, grinning.
“Oh sure,” sweetheart started “, Milo! Can you come here please!” They yelled, facing the garage, seeing milo walk out with a bag in hand.
Said action made Katy’s eyes literally light up, she straightened her posture, brushing her shirt off.
“Hey there,” he said with a bit of gruffness to his voice “, nice to meet ya, I’m Milo.” He introduced himself, holding his hand out to shake hers.
She immediately grabbed his hand, shaking it lightly, as her hand pulled away, she caressed his knuckles, being sure to go slower than necessary.
Sweetheart nearly died laughing, but they maintained themselves, stifling their laughter.
“Pleased to.. meet you I guess.” Milo muttered.
“Pleasures all mine.” She winked, “oh! Here’s the flowers- fresh from my garden, picked specifically for you two.” She said, snootily Turning her head away from sweetheart.
They couldn’t help but let out a quick laugh at her action.
She snapped her head at them.
“Something funny?” She asked with a fake smile, raising a brow with a sick cold look in her eyes.
Sweetheart immediately stopped. “No.” They muttered, looking down with a smirk being hidden on their face. “,just..allergies.” They explained away
“I think we need to go back to our—,” milo thought for a second. “The stove! It’s running we need to head inside, right Sweetheart?” He asked smiling at them
“Stove— oh yes! Our stove!” Sweetheart agreed, going along with Milo.
They both smiled, stifling laughter, walking swiftly back to the front door as Katy yelled a hasty ‘goodbye’
•••
The two of them closed the door, chuckling slightly before walking further into the living room.
“Some people are extremely bad at being secretive.” Milo said rubbing his head.
“You got that right. Oh my god I think if I turned away for even a second she woulda pounced.” Sweetheart laughed breathily rubbing their eyes.
Milo laughed, pulling them closer, peppering their cheek in kisses and rubbing their back, in between laughs.
“Mmm I love you..” milo muttered against their neck leaving a lightly kiss.
They smiled, looking him in the eye.
“I love you..More..” they cackled with a smile before milo and kissed them and said,
“Let’s not start that.” He laughed
“Let’s not”
“After all, everyone knows I love you more than you ever could.” Milo said before laughing and kissing them once more.

363: R.E.M. // Murmur
Murmur
R.E.M.
1983, IRS
Some Short, Disconnected Statements on the Matter of Murmur
1. Insert the following into Waring blender
The Velvet Underground, Pylon, the Byrds, Gang of Four, Patti Smith, the Feelies, Joy Division, the Method Actors, Big Star, the dB’s, the Monkees. Press “Blend” button. (I’ve never owned a blender; I don’t know what the buttons say.)
youtube
2. Easy formula for a great band
Having one temperamental genius songwriter guy sounds kind of hard to maintain. Have you considered simply getting four people who are really excellent and distinctive at the respective things they do (at least three of them great singers), who all write well, get along, lack substance abuse issues, have good taste, and modest egos? Why don’t more bands do this?
3. Notes on the early discourse
A lot of the things people wrote back in the early ‘80s to champion this band were dumb as hell. R.E.M. weren’t good because they didn’t use keyboards or synths; pop music didn’t need to be returned to its "honest" folk-rock roots; giving them a thumbs up for not wearing flashy clothes and makeup is dork behaviour.
They were good because they made weird music that derived organically from their time (early ‘80s), place (a college town in the South), and selves (bright, independent, adventurous, sincere, ¼ gay).
Anyone who listened to Chronic Town or Murmur, with their post-punky murk and lyrical references to Laocoön and Marat, and thought to themselves, “As yes, the second coming of Roger McGuinn, this will put those effete new wavers to flight,” was an idiot.
4. Veteran of the psychic war
Somewhere around age 22, R.E.M. took over the mantle Metallica had held as My Favourite Band in the World Forever and Ever, and I proceeded to be almost as annoying about them as I had been Hetfield and the boys. I posted a lot about them; rigged “best music” polls on random message boards I didn’t even post on in their favour; cornered people at parties; crowbarred them into playlists; grumpily chose to dislike bands I saw as stealing their shine; etc. etc. Some (some) of this is maybe cute in retrospect, but really: don’t be like this about music. If you love a band this much, learn how to play their songs on an instrument; write a few poems; paint something. Worst case: review them.
5. Learning nothing, 2024
6. Athens: Lyrics & Enunciation
The matter of what exactly Stipe was singing on the early R.E.M. records was a subject of intense speculation, and eventually, parody. Some of the mystery’s in the mixing, some’s in his Georgian accent, and some’s in his enunciation (never quite as mushy as people claimed, but not exactly Ella Fitzgerald either). But most of it’s in the arbitrary decisions he makes with regard to syntax that cause even accurate transcriptions to seem implausible. Stipe is probably a little bit autistic, which goes some way to explaining the impressionistic intuitiveness of his words, and also went to art school, which fetishizes that sort of thing, but he was always shy of people seeing the words to something like “Sitting Still” on the page because he thought he might be exposed as a nincompoop. “Up to par and Katie bars / The kitchen side, but not me in / Sitting top of the big hill / Waste of time sitting still,” goes the chorus, according to at least one gnostic sect, but the important passage is the one everyone agrees on, when the stream of impassioned babble releases into a howled “I can hear you / Can you hear me?”
youtube
Later on, when he would sing more clearly over airy arrangements, with the lyrics neatly printed in the booklet, he’d occasionally try one of those old sound-over-sense moves and embarrass himself (“Leaving New York was never my proud” still rankles). But Murmur’s eternal elusiveness is in the way fragments of sense catch your ear from out of its sleeptalk glossolalia:
“The pilgrimage has gained momentum”
“Conversation fear”
“Lighted, lighted / Laughing in tune”
“Hear the howl of the rope / A question”
“A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends / Drink another, coin a phrase”
“Shaking through / Opportune”
“Take oasis”
“Heaven assumes / Shoulders high in the room”
“Did we miss anything?”
7. Permission to be arbitrary
I remember sitting in the basement of my college house with my old hometown buddy Brad (mostly a metal/classic rock guy), playing him “Shaking Through” and explaining one of the things I love about old R.E.M. is that it’s great music to yell to. I don’t know how much he really got it, but we were drunk and it’s a catchy song, so we howled and made keening, wordless, Stipean noises along with it and the next few until one of my roommates came and asked us to keep it down.
Also: one theory for why cats purr when they’re injured is that the vibrations somehow reduce pain and encourage healing. From many experiences humming these songs while wrapped up in headphones and bedsheets in the middle of a day that’s passing like a kidney stone, I can confirm.
8. Note on the modern discourse: Influence?
Black Francis, Kurt Cobain, Bob Mould, Steve Malkmus, Bob Pollard, and Thom Yorke loved R.E.M. So did, to his own apparent consternation, Metallica’s Cliff Burton. Still, you sit down with someone and listen to those musicians with the goal of showing them the R.E.M. influence (don’t do this, why would you do this?) and it’s honestly pretty oblique. Most of the bands who directly aped aspects of R.E.M.'s early sound were at best pleasantly minor (see Captured Tracks’ Strum & Thrum comp), and the ones who seemed to be listening most closely to their ‘90s efforts were not who you want.
Their ultimate influence was probably simply showing what an art-first, indie-adjacent rock band could accomplish by sticking to their guns and bending the system to their desires instead of being bent by it. They were like a Velvet Underground for the college rock era, except everyone talented who heard them was inspired to start a band that didn’t sound much like them. They always used their spotlight to introduce people to other bands and, when they really got huge, they modeled how to deal with success. There don’t seem to be many R.E.M. stories, Peter Buck’s airplane incident aside, about them being anything other than kind. That’s a fundamentally less exciting type of influence than most other “great” bands have. But I do think it’s kinda cool they were the wise old heads for an entire national movement of alternative music.
8b.
Of course, it still bugs me people don’t think they’re cool. Murmur at least, should be considered cool. And Reckoning, mostly. Chronic Town for sure. Some of Fables. Am I crazy for saying some of Monster and New Adventures even? I’ll stop. I’ll go on.
9(-9). The music
They were a pop band, they were an art band; they sounded like children, and like craggy old men buried in kudzu weed; natural and pretentious; date-stamped and timeless. Decide yourself. Happy 41st birthday Murmur.

Other Notes
My profile picture was created by @sunshine--sketches. Check out the shop linked in their profile.
My username should be parsed as "the bi ballerina". If you have been misinterpreting it for years, you are not the only one.
Requests I Wish I Didn't Have To Add
Don't Harass People Based on My Words. (If an action is harassment when targeted at a good person, it is also harassment against anyone else.)
Tumblr has a rampant harassment culture problem. Most users do not recognize their behavior as harassment. Thus, if you just thought to yourself that this doesn't apply to you, please indulge me and take a moment to read on. It can't hurt.
These behaviors are wrong and unhelpful, even if they are targeted against someone truly horrible. Don't feed the trolls, don't bolster bigots' persecution narratives, and don't help cults further indoctrinate their recruits.
I do not condone any of the following actions. I will block anyone I find engaging in that sort of behavior.
Don't initiate direct contact with anyone because of a negative interaction I had with them or a criticism I made. This includes messages, asks, contact through other platforms, etc. (Basically, anything other than commenting in the relevant public posts.)
Don't use a negative interaction or criticism I made as supporting evidence in call-out posts or other methods of spreading assertions about others. I will not tell anyone what to think about a person, beyond providing/correcting factual context as needed, so everyone can form opinions for themselves.
Don't target individuals because of a trend I criticized, whether in media, fandom, society, or otherwise. Criticism of a pattern does not imply condemnation of any singular instance following that pattern.
Don't demand disclosure (or proof) of someone's private information for the sake of justifying/criticizing their engagement with specific topics. Private information includes identities, demographics, relationships, trauma, life experiences, etc.
Don't unexpectedly involve creators in negative discussions of their work. I do not want anyone to be bothered due to my personal opinions in a discussion that was intended for fandom alone.
What I Mean When I Discuss Art, Media, and Fandom
I frequently discuss media, art, fiction, and fandom, and the ways these things relate to real-life issues. That is probably the most frequent way you will see me discuss social justice issues on this blog, as I do not use this particular platform for activism.
However, the existence of a relationship between real-life issues and art does not mean that relationship is easily definable, consistent, bidirectional, or one-to-one.
Nothing I say is ever meant to suggest that preferences in fiction (whether creation or consumption) are indicative of real-life desires/morality. Fiction can cause real-life harm, but that does not mean fictional harm causes real-life harm. Discussion of fictional characters and their actions may be related to similar discussions of real-life people, but they are not the same thing, nor should they be approached in the same way.
I like discussion, not passing judgment on individual tastes. In this context, please just take me literally; my words are not secretly implying condemnation or endorsing harassment.
That applies in both directions: I don't support efforts to pass judgment in this manner. However, I also am not obligated to reassure people acting in defensiveness against my assumed intent/implications rather than my actual statements. (Furthermore, while you may associate specific implications with a word/statement, that does not guarantee that I mean those implications rather than the literal definition.)

hi, I don’t usually send messages or anything on tumblr but I’ve been seeing the messages you’ve been receiving and I just want to say I’m so sorry :( the person(s) that is shaming you for deciding to pull back from writing riki smut is an awful person, and I hope someone like that doesn’t discourage you from continuing to write things that you enjoy/ are comfortable writing. people are mad if you do write Riki smut, AND if you don’t?? it’s insane. If I’m not mistaken the person that’s calling you a “flop” is the same one that was hounding you for that one riki fic a bit ago…very odd to say the least 😭 any who I love your work, and I just wanted to send you a nice little message because I think you deserve some sweetness <33 I look forward to your future work!! enjoy ur day
-minnie anon
Thank you for the kind words minnie anon!!!
I genuinely don’t see why people are so upset with the fact I stopped something that I didn’t feel okay with doing. It blows my mind how I can get hate for Riki smut and then get hate for stopping riki smut. I’m not so sure what person was begging for the riki fic but I know there’s quite a lot of people so it’s kind of hard to narrow it down.
They keep takin my words out of context, I said I wasn’t going to write riki smut and now they keep saying I’m not taking requests? I am taking requests, if I wasn’t I wouldn’t keep putting that my requests are open at the end of my fanfics.
Have a wonderful day though !! I really appreciate the fact your being a really nice person and you actually care about people’s feelings 💗

ITunes Top a hundred Pop Songs 2019
Music actually began to split into completely different categories throughout the Modern era (1910-2000). But Nashville hasn't always been welcoming toward pop and digital music. Within the early 2000s, now-defunct file sellers Cat's Music made a killing off Drum Machines Have No Soul" bumper stickers, a rallying cry for Volvo-driving rockists throughout the Midstate. In 2008, when a particularly rowdy Lady Speak present at Cannery Ballroom ended with a busted stage and flooded places of work below, the venue's homeowners stepped away from reserving non-rock gigs. We are a rock 'n' roll venue, and we're going to play rock 'n' roll shows from here on out," Todd Ohlhauser told the since-folded local entertainment weekly All of the Rage on the time.
4. 42% of individuals polled on which decade has produced the worst pop music for the reason that 1970s voted for the 2010s. These folks were not from a specific getting old demographic at all - all age groups polled, together with 18-29 year olds, appear to really feel unanimously that the 2010s are when pop music turned worst. This may clarify a rising development of younger millennials, for example, digging round for now 15-30 yr-old music on YouTube frequently. It isn't just the older individuals who take heed to the Nineteen Eighties and 1990s on YouTube and different streaming providers it appears - much youthful individuals do it too.
The strictly calculated music of Nomeda Valančiūtė (b.1961) is, nonetheless, absolutely not technological in its nature - her compositions are all based mostly on some not simply defined inventive impulses that are later matured by methodical work with sound materials and then given a precisely polished type. Valančiūtė's minimalist idiom is said to a point to the medieval isorhythmic methods. A more in-depth look to the composer's works and their conceptual stimuli reveals a steadiness of inside opposites: open emotion - and its suppression through uncompromisingly rigid structures; a crystal clarity - and the aware avoidance of 'magnificence' (the usage of sharp dissonances, intentional 'out of tune' sound of ready piano, and many others); the stance of a 'pure music' adept - and the multidimensional picturesqueness of her music, its oddly theatrical expression, and a certain 'bittersweet' glamour.
Okay-pop has at all times been a strange hybrid of Korean and Western tradition. The music has drawn on US genres, however the excessive work ethic and bobserle3266.wikidot.com administration system are a product of Korean tradition and economy. The brand new management of Big Hit Entertainment appears to be an surprising swing in direction of extra US-type norms, which may unintentionally be helping BTS to break that market. The fact that they co-wrote the music would positively be a big issue within the US market, particularly for individuals who value ‘authenticity' in music and would not listen to K-pop out of disapproval," Kim argues. But I do not assume that was actually a deliberate plan by the corporate".
Streaming has been a bit of a monkey wrench within the gears, as we saw a very explicit sort of hip-hop come to dominate the charts to a level that's almost excessive, and the charts still look like that now. The vast majority of songs on the Billboard charts now are that sort of hip-hop, as a result of the style dominates streaming. And while it was attention-grabbing to see the previous guard of pop this decade get uprooted, it isn't essentially the most interesting music to replace it. I wish to have some stage of musical diversity on the pop charts, and streaming tends to stagnate the charts a lot. This is the reason Drake breaks records every time he releases a brand new single, despite the fact that the songs are mediocre at greatest. Moreover, "Rockstar" by Submit Malone has been caught near the highest of the Spotify Top 50 for almost a year now.
The identical factor is occurring in nation music. There have been by no means many minority singers however a number of girls. Up to now few years bro-nation has largely pushed ladies off nation radio and labels aren't offering a lot help to women. Feminine artists have gotten frustrated and it will not be to stunning if many can be women country singers switch to other genres. Bro-country is more widespread with men so nation might start to lose ladies as each listeners and http://www.magicaudiotools.com/ artists if the labels and country stations do not make an effort to encourage range.A few weeks in the past, Ted Gioia wrote a piece for The Day by day Beast taking trendy music criticism to job, specializing in his remark that folks who would have once written about a musician's sound and approach are now targeted on the star's way of life and fame. Then, this past weekend, the New York Occasions Magazine featured an essay by Saul Austerlitz about poptimism, " deriding the development of music critics agreeing too readily with the taste of 13-yr-olds." In their own methods, both essays make the purpose that at present's pop is getting a cross. In that narrative, there existed a superb-previous-days time when critics had been unswayed by the lure of pop. Immediately, they argue, quite a lot of factors — perhaps a desire to reclaim the concept of a mass tradition despite the fracturing affect of the Web; maybe the economics of getting the maximum number of clicks on an article — have conspired to let pop off that hook.The genere that influenced each standard genere after its growth, the one in have been virtually every artist participated is the Disco. It is a subgenere if R&B and pop, with roots in the soul and funk, that dominated the charts in the late 70s. And too, albums like Saturday Evening Fever, Random Access Memories, Brothers In Arms, Thriller, Like A Virgin, and a lot of "greatest hits" of bands like Pink Floyd (Another Brick In The Wall), Kiss (I Was Made For Loving You), and much more have been Disco, or have been influenced by Disco. It is probably not so beloved as othe generes, but this subgenere of Pop, is essentially the most succesful and one of the crucial influential of all time.If pop's sound is becoming blasé and in want of disruption, so is its subject matter. Nearly with out fail, the songs that dominated 2017 ignored the 12 months's dominant social and political themes in favor of zoned-out life-style music. Pop has at all times served an escapist function, but it surely has also been one of many simpler delivery strategies for significant content material. So at a time of extreme national turmoil, it was surprising to not hear a single protest tune amongst 2017's greatest hits (though bless her coronary heart, no less than Katy Perry tried). Nor had been there any large singles addressing gun violence or the opioid crisis, until you rely Publish Malone glamorizing drive-by shootings and popping pillies." Though pop stars aligned for a lot of charity concerts in response to terrorism, hurricanes, and lethal racist demonstrations, the music itself mostly sidestepped weighty subjects.BLACKPINK's DDU-DU DDU-DU" is the best-profile music video that went lacking from the video sharing website. It currently holds the title of essentially the most-considered music video by a K-pop woman group of all time at 604 million views. The video not too long ago broke the record for the quickest music video to achieve 600 million views - a number of days after BTS grew to become the first Korean group to achieve that view depend with DNA." For a while, DDU-DU DDU-DU" additionally staked its place as essentially the most-considered 24-hour debut from a Korean artist.

Ouran high school host club Plance one-shot
Hello! I did a poll on my amino (fandomthesickness) and most people said they wanted me to write this Ouran plance one-shot! I had so much fun writing it and please let me know if you like it and want me to continue it!
In case you all get confused about who’s who here is a little key. (I tried my best to match the characters of similarity)
Haruhi- Pidge
Tamaki- Lance
Kyoya- Keith
Hikaru- Lotor
Kaoru- Rolo
Honey- Hunk
Takashi- Shiro
(I made Haruhi’s dead mother into Pidge’s dead brother Matt, sorry for the tears I thought it would be best for the story)
I had a lot of fun writing this so if you wan’t me to continue the story (if I do i’ll make it a little different from the story line to put in more plance and stuff) so tell me in the comments if you all want me to do so!
-FandomtheSickness
“I’m still in shock I got into this crazy ass school.” said Katie Holt, formerly known as Pidge Holt, to herself as she was passing through the halls of Ouran Academy. It was her first year as a freshman and she still didn’t own a uniform as sadly, she barely could afford one. A crewneck sweater, some slacks, and her dead brother’s glasses were what she usually wore to match her short hair. It used to be long but an unfortunate incident with gum occurred in prior years resulting in Pidge’s transition to short hair. So basically, she looked like a boy and didn’t resemble a girl in the slightest of ways mainly because of her clothing and her lack of feminine physique. But did Pidge care? Nope. Not at all.
“How are you doing up in heaven Matt? You have been there for 5 years am I correct? Wish you were here so you could tell me how everyone in this school is a frickin clod.” She said aloud to herself in the empty hallway. It was after school hours and she felt like finishing her unearthly amount of homework in the extraneous libraries of the school. However, this plan was foiled as they were all packed, and people weren’t really Pidge’s forte. She walked all around the school only to find an empty music room that seemed to suit Pidge’s needs when she was outside it. Little did she know, what was inside it was the exact opposite of what she needed. She turned the doorknob and a flash of light and rose petals flew at her.
“What the He-” She stammered. As the light faded away to a normal setting she feasted her big, brown eyes at a group of boys who were all standing up except for one boy seated in a throne in the empty music room which was weirdly turned into an elaborate dining room.
“Welcome!” They all said confidently.
“Wa…I-uh…” Pidge stammered. She said paralyzed with her body slammed against the door.
“Holy quiznack its a boy.” The twins on the left of the boy in the throne said. They had silky silver hair and looked almost identical.
“Lotor, Rolo, I believe this young man is in the same class as you isn’t he?” The boy with glasses replied. He was placed on the other side of the throne. He had a black-haired mullet, and magenta eyes which were hard to see under his glasses.
“Yea, but he’s shy. He doesn’t act very sociably so we don’t know much about him, Keith.” Lotor and Rolo replied.
Keith’s face lit up for a brief moment like he realized the meaning of life. “Oh, that wasn’t very polite. Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Student.” Keith said smoothly.
The boy on the throne rose to his feet. “What?! YOU MUST BE PIDGE HOLT. You’re the exceptional honor student we’ve heard about!” the boy exclaimed. This guy had tan skin, ocean blue eyes, and brown hair.
Pidge slammed herself against the door hoping it would budge out so she could escape the limelight of these random boys.
“This is... A host club? I-uh better.. Wait how did you know my name?” She asked. In her head she was so lost at the fact they called her “Mr. Honor Student” but she didn’t question it.
“Why Pidge, you are the star of Ouran. It’s not normal for a commoner like yourself to get into our prestigious establishment. You must have an audacious nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into this school as an honor student Mr. Holt.” Keith said shoving his glasses upward.
Pidge was so lost.
“Thanks?” she questioned.
“Your welcome.” the throne boy said as he walked toward her. “You are a hero to other poor people, Holt. You have shown that even a poor person can do amazingly at a private academy. I’m so sorry that you are constantly looked down upon by others.” He said obnoxiously.
Pidge wanted to punch this guy in the face. “Uh.. you’re taking the poor thing a bit too far don’t ya think?” She asked gritting her teeth. She caught on to the fact that these guys thought she was a guy too. She was too done with them to correct them and just decided to let them think what they want. Besides, after she was done with this conversation, she thought she would never see them again.
“Well.. we welcome you poor man to our world of beauty!” The throne boy said while slinging his arm over her shoulders.
‘Get me the hell out of here Matt.’ Pidge thought.
“But to be honest Holt, I never suspected someone like you to come into the host club. Who knew that a brilliant minded person like you would be so openly gay..” The throne boy pondered.
“OPENLY what???????” Pidge burst.
The throne boy didn’t catch her reply and continued on. “So Pidge, what type of guys are you into? The strong and silent type Shiro?”
he asked pointing to a boy who was muscular, tall, black with a white floof at the front hairstyle. “The boy lolita Hunk?”
He pointed to a tiny yet semi-large stomach boy.
“Or the Mischievous type, Lotor, and Rolo?”
He pointed to the twins.
“OOh! Or the cool type, Keith?”
He finally said pointing to the boy with glasses.
Pidge was so uncomfortable she wanted to melt. “I- umm.. It’s not like that.”
“Or…” The throne boy said while leaning toward her, cornering her. “Maybe you’re into a guy like me? Lance is the name by the way. What do you say?” He said leaning his face close to hers.
Pidge’s face started turning red, she started to panic, and turned the other way from the door and backed away from Lance. She backed away slowly until she felt her back pushing something off of a pedestal. From looking at the room earlier, she assumed it was the beautiful glass vase carved with plant designs. She turned around and for that moment, Time seemed to stop.
She leaned over the pedestal in attempts to catch it before it hit the ground. For that split second it seemed like her pinkie was about to catch it, but as the vase kept falling, her pinkie couldn’t catch it in time. The vase fell to the ground and shattered into millions of pieces.
‘Ohhhhhhh… crap.’ She thought in her mind which was currently in overdrive.
“Oh man! Now you have done it, commoner! That vase was going to go on auction for 72 thousand dollars!” Lotor and Rolo hissed.
Pidge slowly leaned up from the pedestal in shame. “I….. I'm gonna have to pay you back.” She stammered in shame.
“With what money? You can’t even own a school uniform! What's with that stupid, crappy outfit anyway?” Lotor exclaimed. The entire host club looked at Pidge baffled. With the lack of money and the broken vase, Pidge was more than screwed.
Pidge started stuttering as she didn’t have any answers. She had no clue how to earn back the money for the vase and wanted to shrink to the size of an atom.
“Well Lance, what shall we do?” Keith asked with his arms crossed. Lance, the King as he was called, rose up from his “throne” and placed his hands on his hips.
“There is a famous saying you may have heard, Holt. When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do.” He went on.
‘What the..’ Pidge thought but Lance wasn’t done yet.
“Since you have no money, you can pay with your body!” Lance exclaimed.
“WHAT THE?!” Pidge questioned.
“That means….. Starting today, you’re the host club’s pet!” Lance said.
‘What the hell? This kid was sitting all poised and quiet and now he’s commanding me. He must be in debate club for crying out loud. Matt.. please, you can see this from heaven, right? These boys have captured me and they call themselves a frickin Host Club?’ Pidge thought. She was shaking internally and was ready to pop. For the first time in 5 years, she wished was with Matt.
Hope you all liked it!
