55 w/ steve
86 w/ eddie
98 w/ billy
im hopefully gonna do all 3 of these, but for now im just gonna do the eddie one becauseeeee i love it and i can practically hear his voice saying it teehee :3 this is gonna be one for my plus size ladies though obviously anyone can read it !!! 
86. “don’t be shy now, sit on my face.”
contains: eddie munson x plus size reader, dirty talk, dom!eddie, insecure reader, negative self talk, foreplay 
Tumblr media
“You are so fuckin’ hot.”
Eddie breathes his admiration against your lips, panting hungrily as you twist your tongue with his. You’re straddling him in his bed, which makes it that much easier to feel the massive protrusion growing in the front of his dark jeans; biting his lower hip teasingly, you grind your hips down against him, chuckling when he lets out a low groan.
“Lemme see you. C’mon, get up,” he urges, doe eyes practically pleading you for a show. He punctuates his request with a firm slap to your ass, causing you to jump in surprise.
It’s the third time you’re fooling around with Eddie Munson, and you can hardly believe it’s actually real, even as you go through the motions of feeling his warm skin against yours. You’d known of him vaguely throughout your time at Hawkins, and had heard (and seen) plenty of questionable things in regards to the metalhead outcast, but you likely wouldn’t have ever spoken to him under most circumstances.
He had always struck you as the type of guy who would hurl insults at girls for laughs, but he wasn’t; he was a little unhinged, sure, but after running into him at the record store one afternoon, you were startled to learn that Eddie “the freak” Munson was a genuinely nice person.
After that chance encounter, it didn’t take much at all for you to become hooked; you wound up in his bed later that evening, receiving some of the most intense orgasms of your life.
Eddie traces his fingers up your waist as you straighten out your spine, tossing your hair behind your shoulders so you can put your body on display for him. It’s almost objectifying, the way he obsesses over your soft figure, but you can’t deny that it turns you on beyond belief.
“Mhm. Yeah, take your top off for me,” Eddie murmurs, licking his lips as his eyes drink in your voluptuous frame, trailing leisurely from your stretch-marked thighs, to your curved tummy, and finally your tits, maybe his favorite part of all. They’re veiled only by your favorite band t-shirt, which you cropped yourself; the top falls to just below your chest, though when you arch your back, Eddie can see the underside of your cleavage.
You do what he says, your tits heaving with each ragged breath you take into your lungs. Eddie grins mischievously, reaching his palms to feel you up, the tips of his fingers tweaking at your hardened nipples.
“Eddie…” you sigh, and he moves to strike your ass again, squeezing firmly as he pulls you further up his body so that you’re straddling his ribcage.
You don’t put your full weight on him, fearing that you might block his airflow if you do. You usually prefer to be on the bottom, seeing that you probably aren’t as thin as the other girls he’s slept with, but Eddie is apparently unfazed by this. The first time you undressed in front of him, he’d been practically salivating at the view of your chunky legs clad in thigh-high fishnets, hips hugged lovingly in your favorite black miniskirt; even when you peeled off your top to reveal your stomach (your biggest insecurity), his interest in you only intensified.
“I wanna take pictures of you,” he says, bouncing your tits obscenely in his palms with a perverted grin. “How do you feel about being my album whore?”
“I’m sure the Corroded Coffin crowd would love to look at my fat ass every time they whip out your record to listen to,” you say sardonically, which visibly pisses Eddie off.
“The fuck did I tell you about talking like that, huh?” he snaps, gripping your hips on either side and jerking you up to his chest. “If I tell you you’re sexy, you’re sexy. Get it?”
You bite your lip at his authoritative tone, cheeks prickling. You never met a guy like Eddie before, someone so enthusiastic abut your unconventional features; all the boys you talked to in the past had seemed to treat you like a last resort, but not Eddie. Eddie makes you feel special, like you’re one of those perky cheerleaders that meander down the halls in their revealing uniforms every day, to the delight of each hormonal teen boy that they pass.
With the pressure of his eyes being fixed sternly upon you, you give in. “Fine.”
“Thaaat’s my girl.” He strokes your back affectionately, sliding down beneath you so he’s lying flatter, no longer propped up on his pillows. You shift your balance to your knees so as not to crush him as he sinks under, but he huffs, forcing you back down into a sitting position. “Where’dya think you’re going, huh? I haven’t even gotten to taste that sweet little pussy yet.”
You nearly gasp out at the crudeness of his statement, your pussy aching with need as the words leave his perfect mouth; looking down at him inquisitively, you chew at your bottom lip in thought. “You mean you want me to…“
He nods encouragingly, a wicked grin situating itself across his lips when he senses the apprehension in your demeanor. “Don’t be shy now, sit on my face.”
“Eddie, you won’t be able to breathe,” you protest, but he works at the waistband of your leopard-print panties anyways, rolling them down until most of your pelvis is exposed.
“Who needs oxygen when you can have pussy?” he smiles, his eyes half-lidded and clouded over with an urgent lust. The look on his face tells you all you need to know; he doesn’t just want you, he needs you. “C’mon, baby. You know I can handle it.”
“‘Kay, but if you suffocate to death, it’s your fault,” you warn, half-joking; he scolds you for the comment, wordlessly and with the back of his ring-adorned hand, by landing a sharp smack to your jaw. It’s not enough to hurt, really, just sting, but the sensation travels straight down to your cunt all the same.
“Get your ass up here,” he orders, and you do as you’re told, bracing yourself above his head after stripping off your underwear. He gazes at you triumphantly from where he’s situated, craning his neck to shoot you a self-satisfied smirk.
“I’m going to make you cum on my tongue now, okay? And I don’t wanna hear anything else out of that mouth unless it’s to fucking beg me for it.”
With that, he yanks you down onto his waiting tongue, just as you choke out a breathless “yes, Eddie.”

Review #146: Parallel Lines, Blondie
Man oh man oh man. I love Blondie so much. I found this record in the Windsor Oxfam. I don’t remember exactly how old I was, but I remember what boyfriend was with me so that puts me between 15 and 18. Yeah, same guy. I actually don’t remember if he ended up getting his hands on this record or not. I think I still have it. Will rifle through my collection later to check.
Blondie was in the “being cool” wilderness for some absolutely crazy reason at that point, and nobody really gave a shit about them anymore. When I was 17 or 18 they were playing the Reading Hexagon which is honestly still just such an unbelievable insult I’m still annoyed about it. I’ll circle back to that.
Parallel Lines epitomizes the complete and total coolness and badassery of Debbie Harry. I have never wanted to be someone more than I wanted to be her. So much confidence. Such incredible cheekbones. Such commitment to art. No apologies. The voice of an angel one moment and snarling whimsical warnings, like, hey you, don’t fuck with me, the next. Always standing in front of all of those completely non-descript nobody dudes. Yeah they’re playing the music, but who cares, who are they? It’s all her. She is Blondie.
Can I pick a favorite? It opens with Hanging on the Telephone, in which she is really threatening to rip the phone clean off the wall. It might be that one. But we’ve also got the classic One Way Or Another, which needs no comment, and one of my actual favorites of all time, Heart of Glass which never fails to fuck me up, but like, it’s a god damn disco track? Like sure, yeah, let’s boogie away our heart break. And I did. And I have. And I will. And these are all SINGLES. We aren’t even discussing the actual album tracks yet. Just listen to it. Honorable mention goes to Sunday Girl, which I always really loved. It’s cute and it’s kind of sweet in a very teenage girl kind of way that worked for me since I was in fact, a teenage girl. Also, not on the official album release, but there was a version of that track where the latter half was sung entirely in French and I always really dug it.
Okay so circling back to the Hexagon. This is a weird story and I’m still not sure how I feel about it, to this day. As I said, Blondie were playing a show at the Hexagon. I was absolutely obsessed with them, and Debbie Harry. I was also 17 or 18 and spent every penny I had on going to shows, but those pennies were pretty limited. I worked as a waitress at the pub that was two doors down from my house. It was full of characters. One such character was a regular, he was in his late 40s, was very wealthy, didn’t drive, was single, and spent literally every bit of his spare time in that pub. Think on that. He paid a lot of attention to the various young women that worked there. Was he creepy? No not exactly. But did it make you uncomfortable? Yes it did. Because you never knew when he might make it weird. Everyone liked him well enough. One day out of the blue this guy presented me with five tickets to the Blondie show. I didn’t know what in the hell to say or whether to accept them. Or what it meant. Whether there were expectations attached to them. Whether it was okay to take them. I was uncomfortable. I was 17.
Here’s what happened. My Mom, who sort of knew him too, since he was always there, decided it was fine, because she wanted to go. But for it to be okay, she decided he also had to come. So we went, he came, and a few friends too. The thing is though, she never knew him like I did. I saw him every day. I saw him with the other girls that worked at the pub. I saw him drunk off his ass. I don’t know that I ever would have taken the tickets. Or if I did, I’m not sure I ever would have invited him. I feel a bit queasy about it to this day. I think in the end something really off-base happened one night between him and someone on staff and he got barred. That was usually the way it went with regulars who were there that often.
The other thing to note is that Blondie ended because Debbie Harry was with Chris Stein, who was literally dying of some rare autoimmune disease throughout their last tour. There were other factors at play, but essentially, they broke up because he was too sick and she stayed at his side and became his full-time carer. When he was well, he left her. They are, remarkably, still close friends to this day and still perform together. Just never forget that men are dogs, and that Blondie is and always will be Debbie Harry. I love her. To this day she looks better than I do in a mini skirt and I love that for her.
ETA: I checked and in fact, I do not still have Parallel Lines in my record collection, but I am quite confident it got lost when I moved back to the US. Also, I’m not 100% certain that show was at the Reading Hexagon. I just know it was a shitty venue not worthy of Blondie. This was 18 years ago. You get the idea.

Could i request Hobie w/ reader who struggles with expressing their emotions?🫶
𝐇𝐢𝐦 <𝟑 . ⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ 𝐏𝐭. 𝟖
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ღ I’m not gonna lie, I had such a hard time thinking of how I would portray the reader since there are multiple reasons as to why someone would struggle with expressing themselves, but I ultimately decided on making the reader reclusive, quiet, and VERY awkward. Shout out to my introverted and socially awkward followers, we’re in the same sinking boat 🔥
ღ This kind of strayed from the original request so that’s MY BAD (me when ADHD)
ღ Also, here’s the update on the votes for the next series— It’s currently tied between Miles (both 1610 and 42) and Pavitr Prabhakar, BUT, Spider Noir is currently in the lead. The voting ends when I post part 10 of ‘Him’, and that’s when I’ll choose the winner. So if you haven’t already, go ahead and vote here
ღ Good lord i’m running out of banners, maybe this is my sign to do another profile theme change
ღ Pervious part can be found here !
Tumblr media
• It’s a mystery to everyone as to how you and Hobie started dating, given that you both are polar opposites. And to be honest, you have no idea how you managed to bag him either LMFAO.
• You probably met him at the local record store while you were browsing through some of your favorite albums when Hobie suddenly came up to you, asking if you knew where a certain artist was. You didn’t respond to his question for a good couple of minutes, since you were still trying to comprehend the fact that a fine ass, 6’3, punk lover was actually talking to you and you weren’t dreaming.
• When you did respond, your answer came out in a jumble of loud incoherent words (y/n ahh 😭). Of course he didn’t understand what you were saying, so you repeated yourself MUCH quieter, and that didn’t help at all.
• In the end, you just pointed to where the albums Hobie wanted were located before hastily turning around while cursing yourself for fumbling so badly.
• I like to think that Hobie often hangs out with loud and extroverted people, so seeing someone that was the complete opposite of that was refreshing for him (no matter how awkward the situation was). And honestly, Hobie found it cute that he made you react like that from just him talking to you.
• So when you were at the counter paying for your albums, best believe that Hobie came up and payed for your shit as a way to engage in conversation. You did NOT know how to react to that, especially when Hobie only winked and slid you the receipt. He turned it over, which revealed a collection of numbers in messy hand writing.
• “Go head and add my number f’me, love” Your jaw dropped, causing Hobie to chuckle before he pushed himself off the counter waving goodbye to you before exiting the store.
• It took you awhile to actually message him, since you had no clue what to say. But talking to him on phone was much easier in your book, since you didn’t have to rely on your voice much and the thoughts that usually ran through your head in public were slowed.
• You started out with a simple hey and a thank you, and the conversation started from there. Since it was over text, you became a lot more at ease and relaxed while talking with Hobie. However, some (if not all) of the texts he sent made you giggle and kick your feet like a school girl 💀.
• At one point Hobie began flirting and soon, you became daring enough to flirt back.
• ‘Daring now, aren’t we? I bet you wouldn’t say all of this face to face ;)’ ‘Watch me’
• You eat those words when you two set up a place to meet up, and Hobie starts teasing you about the texts you sent NONSTOP. His teasing only makes you act worse and public, and somehow increases your stuttering x10.
• And even when he isn’t teasing you, every single thing Hobie says still makes you trip. For example, when you’re talking, and then he asks you in his deep and gritty voice ‘Speak up f’me, love. I can barley ‘ere a word that comes outta yer pretty mouth’
• 🧍
• Despite your differences and how easily it was for Hobie to make your brain rot, you two grew quite close over a short period of time.
• He’d always push you to do more things and meet more people, and even if it doesn’t work out, Hobie would always praise you for trying and getting out of your comfort zone.
• Hobie would he very supportive and patient with you, since he knows how difficult it is for you to properly get your words out. But even then, he still LOVES teasing you and seeing just how easily he effects you.
• Overall, Hobie would be your #1 hypeman and biggest supporter while also managing to be the reason of your demise

who’s pretty?
Tumblr media
eddie munson x fem!reader
word count: 2,527
warnings: swearing, kissing, smoking (DON’T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT), slight seasonal depression, innuendos/suggestive tone towards the end, allusions to nudity, fluff
a/n: hi!! i’ve been super excited to work on some christmas related fics, so here we are. i think it turned out super sweet and i think i might even like it! i really hope you guys like it too!! thanks for putting up with my shit. <333
————
Eddie spit out the plastic wrapper stuck between his teeth, setting the christmas tree cake in his mouth while he readjusted, tossing the film beside him on the porch and holding on to his cigarette more firmly.
Situated, the boy took an aggressive bite of the cake, red and green sprinkles crunching as he chewed. He swallowed, and took a slow drag, letting the smoke fill his lungs. He looked down, assessing the white icing covering his fingertips.
Eddie scarfed down the rest of his cake, licking the residue from his skin. Little Debbie wasn’t doing anything to soothe the ache in his chest. Neither was his cigarette.
Eddie watched the neighbors across the dirt road—it could hardly be called a street—wrap lights around their porch beams. Once up, they plugged them in, warm white lights illuminating the dingy gray of their trailer.
He tapped the ash off into the tray next to his thigh and scoffed a little. He always preferred the multi-colored lights to those.
He perked up, though, as the cat belonging to those very same neighbors leapt from the cat door and out into the sand, presumably in search of a mole or a cricket to snack on.
Eddie scratched his nails against the porch, watching for the cat’s head to snap up and notice that attention was waiting for him across the way.
He bounded over to Eddie, a black streak in the cool and foggy blue of the afternoon, starting to rub over his shoes and calves. “Hey, buddy.”
Eddie scratched behind the cats ears, rubbed his belly when he flipped over. But his visit was cut short as something moved in the overgrown grass and the cat shot away, back to business.
Eddie sighed, pushing off of the worn in wood, moving back inside.
The holiday season used to be Eddie Munson’s favorite time of the year. His uncle Wayne usually got two weeks off of work, and he’d spend them with his nephew, watching cheesy Christmas movies and eating themselves out of house and home.
He never got much in terms of gifts, nothing big or grand. But every band t-shirt Wayne brought home from the thrift store made Eddie’s heart grow two sizes. Every couple guitar picks or album that had a poster in the sleeve that Wayne would watch Eddie giddily tack up in his room.
As for Wayne, Eddie found that mugs were a very good gift, and could mean a lot. They did mean a lot.
Wayne didn’t love anything more than a nine-year-old, doe eyed Eddie running up to him with the present he’d hid in his room all December. He felt the same way when Eddie was twenty.
But it hadn’t been the same in recent years. It hurt, but Eddie knew that’s how it worked. Things changed, and the things you loved as a kid don’t feel the same as you get older. They aren’t the same.
Wayne didn’t get two weeks off for the holidays anymore. The plant wasn’t as abundantly employed as it used to be. He was lucky if he got Christmas Eve off and not just the day of. When Wayne was home, he was tired, and it wasn’t the occasion that it once was, full of hyper Eddie shenanigans.
But Eddie missed it. He missed going on walks to the rich neighborhoods to look at their elaborately set up light displays. He missed laying in bed at night, even long after he knew that Santa was actually Wayne and everything else was capitalist bullshit, trying to go to sleep so that his presents would be delivered.
Fuck, he missed being a kid.
He was lost in this mental turmoil spiral when the door slammed and Wayne returned from picking up dinner. Eddie hopped up, ready to help get plates out and make sure the restaurant hadn't forgotten anything.
"Hey, kiddo?" Wayne asked once they'd settled down to eat. Eddie looked up at his uncle from his place on the floor. With his legs crossed and hands bare of any jewelry, Wayne thought his nephew looked lightyears younger. Like his little boy. Eddie hummed in response.
"Merill's has a good bit of trees left. You wanna go pick one out in the next couple days?" Eddie's eyes lit up and he moved to sit on his knees, stuffing pizza crust in his mouth.
He finished swallowing, "Yeah, of course. You sure you won't be too tired or anything?"
Wayne watched as Eddie scanned for his next breadstick. He'd had that nervous habit since he was little: occupying himself while waiting for a response in fear that something would go wrong.
"No, bud. I'll be just fine."
And so they drove up to the farm and brought home one of the smallest and scraggliest trees--just like they always did. Wayne said those had the most character.
Later when it was getting dark outside and both parties were resting from getting the thing inside and in its stand, Eddie realized it was past time for Wayne to be at work, and he wondered if he'd possibly zoned out enough to entirely miss his uncle's goodbye.
He slipped down the hall, only to see Wayne sorting through various holiday lights. "Uh, Wayne?"
"Yeah, bud?"
"Aren't you late for work?"
"No, bud. I've got time off. Suppose I should've mentioned that, huh?" Wayne hadn't forgotten to tell Eddie. How could one forget that they had time off from work? He'd simply wanted it to be a surprise.
Eddie might've been very good at concealing his feelings in general, but Wayne knew he was bummed that Christmas had changed for the both of them. Wayne looked up at Eddie, who was practically beaming.
"Really? How long?"
"Two and a half weeks."
"Shit." Eddie was grinning hard, cheeks pinked and knees bopping slightly. He was excited.
"Guess that means your happy?" Wayne handed the boy one end of the lights to plug in and check they still worked.
"Well, yeah, duh."
"What would you think about asking Y/N over? She could spend the night on Christmas Eve and then the day if she's up for it. Thought maybe you'd like that. I could cook or somethin'."
"I think she'd love that. And you don't have to cook. She'd gladly eat take out, I know."
That night, Wayne stepped out of the bathroom to see Eddie lying on the floor in front of the tree reading, but also staring up at the colored lights in awe. Wayne felt his eyes get glassy and blinking the oncoming tears away. His boy.
He walked over, crouching to plant a prickly kiss in Eddie's curls, only to ruffle them afterwards. "Night, Eds."
Eds. His uncle was the only person that had ever called him that before you. He didn't say it often, but it was one of his favorite things to hear. "Night, Wayne."
————
"Hey, precious." Eddie swung the door open for you, simultaneously shoving a cookie in his mouth.
"Afternoon, Edward." Eddie wrinkled his nose at the use of his birthname, which you kissed in greeting.
"Want a cookie? They've got sprinkles."
"In a second. I've brought a gift for your pretty tree." You set your bag on the coffee table.
"Who's pretty?" Wayne asked, emerging from the back of the trailer.
"You Waynie," Eddie quipped, earning himself a playful smack on the back of the head.
"The tree is pretty, Wayne," you supplied. "I brought it presents. Sorta."
Eddie watched as you dug around, pulling free two ornaments, though he couldn't quite make out what they were.
"Here, Wayne, this one's yours." He held out his hand, and you set the object in his palm. His was a little Garfield ornament. The cat was wearing blue pajamas and was holding a little teeny coffee mug.
Wayne laughed appreciatively. "That's a good one, sweetie. Thank you. Will you find it a good spot on the tree for me?"
"Sure!" He squeezed your shoulder and watched as you put it front and center, towards the middle of the tree, that way Garfield could keep watch.
Wayne walked off into the kitchen, giving you space to give Eddie his prize.
Eddie waited patiently, though that was often a struggle for him. "Okay, I might've gotten you two. But I couldn't not get one of them." Eddie held out both hands, grinning expectantly. It was simple, really, the more you looked at it. A black sphere with purple lettering. One side said Master of Reality, the other Black Sabbath.
"Holy shit," Eddie said, turning the ball over in his hands. "Where'd you find this?"
"The record store in town had a whole bunch of old ornaments on sale, like they'd been cleaning out the back, and I thought you'd like it. Do you?"
Eddie smacked a dramatic kiss on your forehead. "Are you fuckin' kidding me? Of course I like it." He couldn't take his eyes off of it, mainly because it was so sweet of you to have gotten for him, but also because he thought it was funny that the store still had one considering how long the album had been out.
Eddie was lost in thought when you approached him with the next one. "When I went to get a book last week they had this little tree covered in book-related ornaments, and I saw this and I gasped so hard the lady behind me asked me if I was alright."
Eddie laughed, throwing his head back, and you took the opportunity to hang the ornament off of the tip of your finger to show him. He looked down, only to see a small painted ornament that looked like a book. It was The Hobbit.
"Baby." You were the one grinning like an idiot now. That one earned you a sweet kiss on the lips.
“Isn’t it cool?” You asked, pointing out that the text was raised and everything, that the spine even had ridges.
“It’s so cool.” He spun around to walk the few feet into the kitchen. “Wayne, would you look at this?”
Eddie’s uncle did as requested, smiling at your gesture. “That is very cool, Eds. Looks better than the copy you’ve got.”
“It totally does!” The boy wasn’t even slightly offended.
Eddie marched over to the tree, nestling the ornament amongst the others, along with his Black Sabbath one.
He turned to you, taking your face in his hands.“Thank you, sweetheart. I’m gonna be so annoying about those now.”
“I know. I prepared myself on the way here.” The smile he gave you was brilliant, and there was no other way to describe it.
————
The three of you spent a good portion of Christmas Eve making cookies: gingerbread, snickerdoodles, shitty sugar ones with sad icing jobs. Though, you did make sure to get most of it done early so there was time to chill.
You watched loads of movies. How the Grinch Stole Christmas had been on that morning, and Eddie extravagantly performed “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch” for you, poking at your sides to get you to smile.
Eddie rented Die Hard for you, just because he knew you had the hots for Alan Rickman. He slipped it in the VHS slot, only for Wayne to say, “This the one with her pretty boy in it?”
Eddie practically cackled as you sunk into the couch more than he thought possible.
“He’s not a boy,” you argued. “He’s a total man, thank you very much.”
You watched Gremlins, and Eddie laid his head in your lap. You missed the way Wayne looked over at the two of you, in awe of how lucky he was that his boy had found someone so good. He thought about how happy he was to have this little family.
Wayne picked up food from Benny’s, not wanting to have to cook two nights in a row.
At the end of the night, Eddie finished off his first pile of rentals with Silent Night, Deadly Night. You didn’t mind, not with how excited he was about it. You loved a good slasher anyhow.
It was well past midnight when the film was over, and you cleaned up the popcorn mess while Eddie rinsed cans out for the recycling before the both of you slipped away to allow Wayne some rest before the big day.
Eddie had been in the bathroom while you went into his room to get changed. You slipped out of your pajama bottoms, opting for no pants at all considering Eddie was like a human furnace.
You heard the door click shut behind you as you pulled your shirt over your head, leaving your back bare to him. Eddie wolf-whistled.
You through the shirt at him, aiming for his face, only for him to catch it instead. “Usually it’s dinner and a show, not bedtime and a show, but I’ll take it, hot stuff.”
“Shut the fuck up, Munson.” Eddie giggled to himself as he stopped you from putting on your own shirt, reaching for one of his own. He pulled out his worn in Master of Reality t-shirt.
“Seems appropriate, don’t you think?” He slipped the fabric over your head. “Stick your arm through—there you go.” Once settled, he kissed you sweetly before giving you a light slap on the ass as you climbed into bed.
“C’mon now pretty boy, let’s see my bedtime show.”
Eddie shimmed out of his sweats for you, stepping out of them with a flourish. You giggled at his underwear, which had little Santa hats on them.
“Don’t laugh, they’re comfortable!” He took off his shirt and you made grabby hands at him.
You sat up on your knees to kiss his spider tattoo and then the demon, making sure to hit them all. You made him spin to get the newer one on the small of his back: very sexy bat wings.
Eddie crawled into bed with you, switching his lamp off. “Now, look, I know I’m insatiable, and you’d probably love to stay up all night kissing me, and sweet-talking me, but we gotta get to sleep if we want Santa to come.”
He tickled his fingers up your arm when you stared to laugh, burying your face in his chest.
“Eddie, my love, you haven’t got a chimney.”
He scoffed, fighting a laugh. “You doubt Santa’s abilities to get me my presents though I lack the typical vessel? He has his ways, baby. Damn.”
Eddie reached for your thigh, grabbing hold and swinging it over both of his before kneading at the squish of it. He patted it fondly before he kissed your forehead.
“Merry Christmas, you little shit,” you said. “I love you.”
Eddie snickered. “Goodnight, pain in my ass. I love you more.”
The holiday season had officially climbed right back up to being one of Eddie Munson’s favorite things. He thought, laying there beside you that night, that you and Wayne were the best people in the world.
It felt like all the shitty Christmases had been leading up to this fucking excellent one, and he was over the moon.

MIW head cannons for taking you to meet their family for the first time
Vinny
I feel like for him this is kind of a test
He’s extremely close to his family, we all know this from what he has posted as far as photos and stuff with them, so if they didn’t approve in any way it would be an automatic game over… “sorry my mom didn’t like you”
But if they did, home boy may have thought he was in love with you before but now he knows for sure he is
Loves seeing how well you get along with his parents, may be slightly jealous that the first time you meet them they’re paying more attention to you then him.
Would probably be more nervous than you, he doesn’t usually take anyone he’s dating home so if he does it’s a big big deal.
Would lowkey ask his mom to make his favorite meal for both of you.
Embarrassed when his mom breaks out the photo album of embarrassing childhood moments
Almost dislikes how much you clique with his mom because now he knows the two of you are going to gang up on him and embarrass him when the chance arrives
Ricky
I feel like y’all would have to be very serious before he would take you home to visit his family… mostly because of how far away from them he lives
Like we’re talking you guys have been together for months
Would low key adore watching you with his nephew, might make him want kids idk? My brain immensely went to this.
I feel like it wouldn’t matter quite as much to him as it would the others that they like you, mainly because you aren’t around them much so if they do or don’t they don’t really know you, if you get what I’m saying.
Honestly I could see him being the anxious one
Chris
I don’t know if he’s a mommas boy confirmed but for some reason I get the vibes he’s a mommas boy.
So clearly when he does introduce you to her what she thinks means a lot
Would really hope that you get alone and are close to his family
Would love seeing you bond and be friends with his sister… even if it means both of you tease and torment him quite a bit.
I feel like you’d have to be pretty established in the relationship for him to take you home given his struggles with relationships in the past, he doesn’t want to get his or their hopes up again by you getting close to them and then the relationship ending.
10/10 would do as much as he could to dispel any anxiety you may have, especially never the sweetest boyfriends you could have in that regards.
Ryan
He’s the one I feel like would be the most chill about bringing you home, he just gives me those vibes
That’s not saying he doesn’t care what they think but I feel like if it’s serious enough he’s willing to take you home then he won’t be as worried about what they all think. If they out right hate you that’s one thing but otherwise I don’t see him letting it get to him too much.
Like hey, this is my girlfriend instead of what do you think about her if that makes sense?
But low key would still love if you got alone with his family because that’s always a good thing
Low key you wouldn’t be nervous or anxious because he isn’t nervous or anxious, so that would keep you pretty relaxed about it all
Justin
Going off the fact that he has a child I feel like he would be the one it is most important to.
Like if that little one didn’t like you, goodbye
But if we pretend for this case that he doesn’t have a child then I think it would be similar to Ryan
He’d be pretty relaxed, excited for sure that you mean enough to meet them but not stressed that you are
I could see him being one where you’d meet at a restaurant instead of at home just so nobody feels pressured at his parents nor your place to make everyone feel at home and a meal everyone would like
10/10 sweetest boyfriend ever when it comes to calming down your nerves about it all.
Would make sure you know that they liked you after so that you feel welcomed and at ease.
AN: I genuinely struggled with Justin and Ryan a little bit but I tried to just go with it 🤷‍♀️ you can tell this isn’t my speciality or a subject I’m familiar with 😂

What their Devilgrams look like
Before and after you start dating (All brothers)
CW: None, but I do swear casually.
A/N: I wrote this in about an hour in a feverish panic. I don’t even know what inspired it, I just started writing and it happened. I think I may have been possessed. Enjoy lmao
Tumblr media
Lucifer
12M followers
Before
There's nothing here but a couple months old pictures of rare bottles of Demonus.
If you go over into the tagged pictures, however, there are many pictures of him from Lord Diavolo's account.
They're all candid-- from parties and meetings and long nights in the office doing paperwork-- and he hates all of them but he can't get Diavolo to delete them.
Diavolo has at least an extra ten million followers that are only there for Lucifer's pictures.
After
Still pretty barren tbh
Occasionally he'll post a picture of TWO glasses of Demonus, your hand wrapped around one of them.
And every year on your birthday, he posts his favorite picture of you since your last birthday with a simple Happy Birthday message. It's very sweet, his fans go wild for it.
Tumblr media
Mammon
411.3M followers
Before
He posts once a day at least.
Selfies at the casino, pictures of the piles of grimm he was counting, BTS photos from his modeling gigs, sneak previews of his next photoshoot release, goofy pictures of his brothers fucking around, upside down selfies from when he's hanging from the ceiling, ect.
He and Asmo do a lot of Devilgram shoots together when they aren't at each other's throats
After
He still posts the usual once per day. And then on top of that, he posts a new picture of you every day. Most of them are candid, some of them are posed while you wear his jacket or sit in his chair at a shoot, and the rest are selfies with him.
The captions are usually just a full paragraph of absolute simp behavior that get replaced five minutes later with some string of emojis or teasing you about your facial expression
But his fans definitely screenshot the original captions and they get circulated for weeks with everybody freaking out about how sweet it is.
Shit quickly becomes a meme. "If my mans doesn't talk about me like Mammon talks about MC, I don't want him."
Tumblr media
Leviathan
203M followers
Before
He doesn't post every day, but he does post multiple times a week.
It's mostly sewing progress on his cosplays, screenshots of games he's gotten 100% of the achievements in with reviews as the caption, anime screencaps with reviews, pictures of manga pages with reviews, pictures of the line he's been waiting in for ten hours for merch followed by a picture of the merch and a review, girl group album art with reviews, and memes. Oh and Henry 2.0, of course. There's literally NEVER a picture of his face. If you're lucky, you'll see his fingers while he holds open the manga.
Another one that can only be seen in the tagged photos.
His fans don't really care that much tho? Honestly, most of his following there specifically because they trust his reviews.
After
Nothing changes for a long time. Seriously, y'all have to be dating for at LEAST eight months before he even mentions you on his Devilgram.
The first thing he posted was a picture of you in front of his fish tank wearing the Henry costume from the play Simeon put on with the caption "my Henry's." His fans lost their absolute MINDS.
He doesn't post pictures of you often because why should he share you with his followers? You're his, they don't need to see. But when he does, it's mostly in cosplays he's made or waiting in line with him for some release. It’s very cute.
Tumblr media
Satan
139.8M followers
Before
Posts when he remembers to. Which isn't often. Multiple times a month, no more than twice a week.
A white woman's instagram
Seriously, it's a lot of pictures of cups of tea, and the cats in the garden, and piles of books. Everything is set up to be super aesthetically pleasing for the pictures. Occasionally he'll post a picture of Belphegor setting up a prank for Lucifer. Of course, it's not posted until after the prank happens, he can't risk Lucifer finding out early. The captions are all book quotes. Every time. Without fail. If he posts a picture of a book cover, he may also add a review of the book. The only time you see his face is if it's a selfie of him sipping tea or a cat is standing on his shoulders.
After
He definitely posts at least twice a week now.
The content doesn’t change much, but now you're there too! Petting cats or pouring tea or curled up in a chair reading a book he recommended. He'll also post pictures from date nights, selfies you took of the two of you on his phone. All still very aesthetically pleasing. He'll also post videos of you helping set up pranks, him narrating what's being set up and what's supposed to happen when it goes off with you and Belphie snickering quietly and shushing each other.
It's all very wholesome actually. 10/10
Tumblr media
Asmodeus
450M followers
Before
Posts twice a day, every day. It's Asmo, what did you expect?
Thirst trap central! It's not every post, but shit is it almost! Risque photos in lingerie and tiny outfits, but also super glamorous pictures in frighteningly intricate dresses and suits. It's a lot of selfies and at home photoshoots. He promotes his favorite skincare and makeup lines. He also does a lot of BTS for his modeling jobs, selfies with the crew at whatever shoot he's at or the staff at the massage place or the nail salon, and a surprising amount of selfies with his brothers. (the reason Levi and Lucifer have any pictures of themselves at all)
Every picture is absolutely perfect and he will retake them as many times as he needs to make sure they are. He has the most followers on Devilgram. Again, it's Asmo.
After
As soon as you start dating, Devilgram knows. Hell, his followers might've found out before Lucifer did.
You're in at least 75% of his pictures. If you don't want to be in the risque ones, that's totally alright, but if you do?? Holy shit does he love those pictures. And so do his followers! At first, you were always just right beside him in his pictures, just as done up and flawless as he always is. But after roughly a year, it starts slowly changing. Eventually, a lot of his photos focus more on you than him, more often than not they’re candids where you aren't done up. You're just wearing sweatpants and playing on your phone in the common room. Those are his favorite pictures. He thinks you're perfect all the time, and he loves sharing you with the world.
Another one to become a meme after a mirror selfie of the two of you where he's just staring directly at you instead of in the mirror. "IF MY MANS DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE ASMO LOOKS AT MC, I DO NOT WANT HIM."
Tumblr media
Beelzebub
426.4M followers
Before
He has more followers than Mammon, and Mammon is furious about it. He only posts like once a week, if even.
You'd think he'd post pictures of food. You'd be wrong. If he did that, he'd be hungry every time he looked at his Devilgram, and he doesn't want that.
No, the reason he has so many followers is because he's the one posting all the candid shots of his brothers. Doesn't matter what they're doing, he's snapping a picture and posting it on Devilgram. He loves his brothers very much. He'll also just dump a bunch of pictures on there at once, it's never just one at a time, which is part of why he only posts once a week.
There's also some pictures he reposts from the RAD newspaper of Fangol matches, group pictures of his team, action shots of him. Those blow up real quick.
They also never have captions
After
Uh-oh, simp page! He very quickly becomes an MC simp page. He still takes candids of his brothers but for every one of them, there's two of you.
Across the table during a dinner date? Done. Getting ready to go watch one of his Fangol matches? Absolutely. Cutting Mammon down from the chandelier? He only posted that once and it got you in trouble, so he doesn't post those anymore :(
His favorites are pictures of you and Belphie napping in his bed.
They do have captions now! It’s a single heart emoji and people lose their minds about it.
Tumblr media
Belphegor
22M followers
Before
He posts once a month, if that, and it's always incomprehensible.
It's usually something similar to that one canon selfie of him with bedhead, with some wild caption about a dream he had. Never makes any sense, but when has that ever stopped him? When it's not that, he's posting super high quality pictures of the stars with long explanations about the stories behind the constellations.
His tagged pictures are a lot of him sleeping in weird places, provided by Beel and Mammon. The one that got the most traction was when Mammon posted a video of opening up the cupboard under the sink in Asmo's bathroom to find Belphie curled up underneath. It was both adorable and hilarious.
After
Not much changes, actually.
He posted a picture of you dead asleep cuddling his cow pillow, which also had some incomprehensible dream recap, but that was about it.
What changed the most was his tagged pictures, which his fans go bonkers for. Now, not only it is him sleeping in weird places, you're also in those weird places! He's always got his arms locked around you so you don't fall off or try to leave while half asleep and not remembering where you are. Under the piano, on the kitchen counter, balanced on a branch of the tree in the yard, squished under one of the desks in the student council rooms. Mammon is getting a lot of content out of the two of you.

Ok so this is def gonna be some sort of FOB blog now. My hyperfixation has returned babyyy (and I really hope this one sticks around for a while).
Anyway.
I think we need to give more love to American Beauty/American Psycho. Like I know on Spotify that it’s technically their most popular album but tbf we can probably all agree that that’s because of Centuries. There’s also Uma Thurman which is pretty popular (for good reason, it’s a BANGER) but the rest of the album deserves some love too.
Irresistible is lowkey my strut song, I love it so much.
The title track (AB/AP but I ain’t writing allat) took me a bit to get into but the bridge especially is actually such a good song? Currently playing it on repeat which is what prompted me to write this entire thing out.
Centuries is iconic and I love it I really do, it was how I found out about FOB and it deserves all the love it gets.
The Kids Aren’t Alright is honestly not really my fave but idk bro the lyrics really hit.
Uma Thurman gets me so hyped every time I hear it, I LOVE IT!
Jet Pack Blues is once more not as high energy as I usually like but they popped off with the lyrics “she’s singing ‘baby come home’ in a melody of tears while the rhythm of the rain keeps time”??? How did such a line get brainstormed and where do I get some of that absolute skill???
Novocaine is such an angry, gritty song and I don’t know what else I can say about it. Def one of my faves on the album but this is also lowkey my favorite album (lowkey, it’s not like I can just pick ONE 😥) so that tracks.
Fourth of July is ofc sad but it’s almost kinda cute if that makes sense? Like it makes me think of a cute romance that didn’t end so well. Not exactly the best vibes to bring to a Fourth of July part but you best believe I ABSOLUTELY will be adding it to the playlist.
Favorite Record is similar, but it almost feels like a more… homemade(?) sound. Softer might be a better word. Like the background instrument are kinda toned down or something. It expresses such a similar meaning in such a different way IDK
Immortals feels like the earlier part of a relationship that you know is technically doomed to fail but you really don’t want to let go of. All of the time references really cement that idea for me. There’s more I was going to say but I forgot it so.
Twin Skeleton’s (Hotel In NYC). Now what do I even say about this one? Honestly, I’ve run out of things to say right now but let’s just say that if I heard this one in concert I would probably die. S tier. No further notes.
Also this is maybe an important disclaimer: I have zero experience with love and I don’t intend to get any (aromantic babyyy 😍). So my analysis might be a bit inaccurate but who’s doing research for smth like this anyway?
TL;DR: y’all are SLEEPING on AB/AP, but also every album is equally good in its own way (altho I’m ngl I could never bring myself to listen to evening out with your girlfriend but someday I will, promise).
…yeah. I think it’s clear how not normal I am about this band.

This has been done a million times before and no one asked but I decided to rank the songs from Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
Let's go Nighthawks!
Tumblr media
15. Cool As I Think I Am
I actually do love this song but when I listen to the full album, it’s one of only two songs I sometimes skip. The sound of it is very sweet, just like Pete, and it’s a great song to establish his character and his conflict in stepping outside his set social role (also props for originating the “I’m not a loser” refrain that repeats several times throughout the show to great effect). It’s just maybe not as exciting as the rest of the songs on the list.
14. Bully the Bully
Very catchy and fun, and the “cool beans” verse holds a special place in my heart (as do Grace’s little spins). Half the fun of it are the (very cute) dance moves which makes this song a little less effective when just listening to it. I love the guitar riffs and hearing all the nerds teaming up and happy for the only scene in the entire show.
13. Bury the Bully
I don’t usually prefer the shorter reprise but this song is too unhinged for me not to love it. Some highlights: Grace’s immediate acceptance of the situation and detailed knowledge in disposing of a body (and the casual “how else he gonna fit?” like she’s not suggesting something absolutely psychotic), “oh god, she’s snapping again”, Ruth coming around faster than the rest of the nerds because she’s apparently only slightly less unhinged than Grace, the discordant slamming on the piano keys after every “hack all his limbs off”.
12. Dirty Dudes Must Die
Would be much higher if only it were longer. This was the heel-face turn I was waiting for and Angela absolutely kills it, the deranged energy is off the charts. Grace singing “who will pray for you” and pointing at the audience gives me chills as does that final “run”. It feels like another story is just beginning.
11. Go Go Nighthawks!
I love all the sounds in this song - the beats that sound like lockers closing, the school band drums and trumpets, the jocks grunting and the “caw caws” from the cheerleaders. They add so much and convey such a strong sense of the setting, a must for a show that doesn’t really have any sets lmao. Also, fuck Clivesdale!
10. The Best of You
This song is just super cute and it makes me happy to listen to - Lautski own my entire heart, I can’t help it. Many have pointed out the Disney channel sound of it but it also reminds me a lot like those mid 2000s pop punk British boybands (think McFly and Busted) and I think that was deliberate with the British accent Joey and Mariah put on a couple of the lines. Anyway, I love how overwhelmingly bright and happy this song sounds, because it almost rounds back to sinister as you just know this can’t be the end of the show - we don’t get endings this happy in Hatchetfield!
9. Just For Once
This is the other song I sometimes skip but only because it’s five minutes long and such a character piece that I’m not always in the mood for it. Lauren blows me away with her ability to perform in character. That switch from Ruth’s amateur acting in the verses to the more sincere chorus is so beautiful. And that ending, oof. “I used to dance”, gets me every time.
8. Hatchet Town
I love a good mob song and this is an all time favorite for me. The Hatchetverse has been successful in establishing a multitude of interesting side characters that make the world feel lived in and that really pays off here; the song works if you don’t know most of the characters but it’s so much better if you do. 
This is the first scene in the show that expands the story outside the school and the characters there, and it makes the danger feel all the more pressing, especially with how frantic and sinister it sounds. It’s also endlessly quotable; in a way, aren’t we all Dan Reynolds (with Action News, weekdays at 10 PM)?
7. Dirty Girl
Seems like I’m a much bigger fan of this song than many but I could never resist a musical theater song about sex. I love how weird and gross this song is while also containing some masterful lyrics. I love this bizarre look at sex through Grace’s warped, sheltered worldview. Most of all, I love that this is the first time we hear the line “will you pray for me” in the show and every time it appears after it’s in a wildly different context.
6. Cool As I Think I Am (Reprise) 
This song makes me cry and I’m not afraid to admit it. It's the way Pete starts the song being so brave and so gentle as he convinces Steph to make an impossible choice, how they come together in the middle of it, finally completely honest with each other about their feelings, and how at the end the song slows as they’re both overwhelmed by the tragedy of the situation. “I’d have to let you go” let me go curl up and cry for a week, maybe.
5. High School Is Killing Me
A killer intro (heh). This is how you set the mood for a show! The slow start with Richie and Ruth is perfect and then the beat kicks in and I ascend to a higher level. A really strong aspect of the songs in this show are the harmonies and we get some incredible ones here - they sound so good together. This may also be the catchiest song on the soundtrack.
4. The Summoning
Oh my god this song!! First the intro with the chant, the trio’s bright voices underscored by the creepy whispers in the background, and then the descent into immediate chaos as soon as the Lords enter. I guess this is more of a “theatrical” song in that it’s not really something you listen to out of context of the musical but it works so incredibly well in context. Hearing all five of the lords together and taunting our protagonists is so insanely good. And I love how this song works musically, too, with the guitars and drums in the louder parts almost battling it out with the piano in the slower parts. Jeff Blim really popped off with this one.
3. Literal Monster
God, the foreboding atmosphere in this song is unmatched. The incredible build-up to our antagonist, managing to make a believable threat out of a cliched high school bully. Kim Whalen belting “He roars, and we cry” lives rent free in my mind. And then Will Branner shows up and lives up to every single expectation instantly. 
2. Nerdy Prudes Must Die
Extremely basic opinion to think this song is great (the real unpopular take might be that it’s only number two) but what do you want me to say? That the similarities to the Halloween theme don’t make me wanna clap my hands with glee? That the music and lyrics don’t both absolutely slap? (“Will you pray for me” I will give you my entire life actually) That Jon Matteson belting “I’m not a loser” might not be the single greatest moment in the entire show? This is why they invented musical theater. I will take no further questions.
1. If I Loved You
Look I am Lautski trash, I will fully admit that, but this song is also just a bop. It’s the most fun song in the show to sing along to, by a mile. It is young, stubborn love boiled down to its most entertaining bits. It is two people almost coming together but missing each other by a hair and that hair is having too much pride to be the first to admit you’ve got a crush. This song has drama, it has fun, it has two characters vehemently denying their feelings for each other while insisting the other only deserves the best. “Don’t need a lover boy, need a lover man” marry me, Mariah Rose. How about that? Also, Joey Richter’s improvement as a singer has been severely underappreciated and this song shows his voice off perfectly. 
I am ranting but that’s because I cannot coherently express how much I love this song. In a soundtrack filled with nothing but hits, this one hits me right in the heart.

Imagine innocent!newkid!Eddie being so excited that you came over to his place to hang out. He usually doesn’t get many visitors because most people think he’s weird. He’s frantically fixing up his place so that your not put off that lives in a trailer. Then, you’re at his place and he’s making sure to keep his distance so you aren’t uncomfortable while you play video games. You notice all the effort he’s put into this night.
You’re both sitting on the couch a wide space between you, when you both start to warm up to each other. He rambles about D’n’D and his favorite music albums and you’re just watching him, enjoying him being himself. He gets nervous when he notices you not saying anything and tries to tone it down again. You try to break him out of his shell again.
“You can sit closer to me if you’d like?” You say.
His head low, looking up at you through his long lashes. “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“I’m enjoying my time with you, Eddie.” You smile softly, scooting over to him so that you were right beside him.
He’s still a little stiff, too nervous to move. You take the initiative to make him feel comfortable placing your lips on his soft full ones and sucking in his bottom lip into your mouth. He moans softly into the kiss slowly melting under your touch as your fingers find their way through his soft curls.
You pull away from the kiss looking into his eyes noticing something so carnal within him. “I wanted to be here because I like you. You don’t have to hide yourself from me. I want to know every part of you. Every. Part.” You say suggestively, fingers softly his exposed happy trail.
He’d just breath hard, staring intensely at you; completely didn’t expect the night to go that way but he’s so turned on. He could feel his dick pressing up against the front of his jeans.
Smut ensues and Eddie lets himself be completely vulnerable around you from then on.

By Any Other Name
Because I’m basically obligated to do a rock star AU at some point, right?
Send me a prompt for Nano!
By Any Other Name
Jyn liked this time of day in the Kyber, the grubby little bar she co-owned with her best friend. Early afternoon was a dip where the hardcore drinkers and the lunch crowd had all cleared out or been cut off, and the after-work crowd wasn't in yet. She used the time to catch up on paperwork and put on her favorite music. 
"You like this song?"
The voice came from the end of the bar, where their one customer of the moment was drinking a draft beer and scribbling on what looked like staff paper. A starving songwriter, she concluded, a dime a dozen in LA. 
"It's all right," she said, because it had only taken her the first shift as a bartender to realize that some guys would take a statement as innocuous as "this is my favorite song right now" and translate it to "please, take my body at your earliest convenience."
"It's just, you're singing along."
Had she been? Damn. Bodhi referred to her singing voice as the unholy love child of a rusty gate and a cat in heat. "Sorry."
He laughed. "No, it's fine." He had a nice smile, wide and bright, with dimples. Cute.
Also a dime a dozen in LA.
She shrugged and hit the buttons on her laptop to save her most current schedule. "It's catchy," she said. "I guess I do sing along when it comes on the radio."
The song ended and another began, with no deejays jabbering in between. And it was the next song on the artist's newest album. 
He raised a brow.
"Fine! The whole album's on my favorite playlist at the moment. It's good. All right? That what you wanted to know?"
He lifted both hands in a peaceable gesture, laughing again. "I’m not trying to interrogate you. That's just my favorite song from the album. The one you were singing along to."
“Yeah? Even though it's not the one that's the big hit or whatever?”
"That one's good too," he acknowledged. "But 'Built on Hope' is just - I like it better."
"Yeah."
He held out a hand. "Joreth."
She shook it briefly. "Liana," she said, giving him the name she went by behind the bar, to deter creepers and scammers. 
"Liana, that's pretty. What is that, a flower?"
"It's a sort of vine," she said - also her usual answer. "A strangling vine. It kills trees."
He laughed. "Killed any trees today?"
"Sadly, no, but the day is young."
At the other end of the bar, Bodhi cleared his throat, loudly. She glanced at him, saw he was doing the bottle count, and figured he'd just had a frog in his throat. 
"He's playing tonight, you know," Joreth said, pointing upward at the speaker. "Cassian Andor."
"Yeah, I heard. I've got to work. Plus tickets are an arm and a leg."
"Surely no more than a hand."
She grinned. "Whatever body part I'd have to give up, it'd be too much. Anyway, those big stadium shows aren't for me. All lights and screaming and shit." She shuddered. "Gives me a migraine."
He tipped his beer toward her. "I'm with you there. He's got another one tomorrow. An acoustic set at a little club."
That was more her speed. But she eyed him suspiciously. "What are you, his manager?"
He laughed again. The way his eyes crinkled was not something you often saw in LA, where wrinkles were the horror of half the town and the bane of the other half. "Something like that," he said. 
Bodhi cleared his throat again, louder. 
"Spit or swallow, Bodes," she called out to him, and turned back to the guy at the bar. "Well, if I'd known, maybe I would have scrounged up whatever favors I needed to go. But it's probably too late now."
“You never know.”
The door opened and a tall skinny man in a suit that cost more than her car came in. 
"ID," Jyn said automatically.
He eyed her. "I assure you I am of age, and anyway, I'm not here to imbibe." He marched up to Joreth. "You," he said balefully.
"Hi, Kay," Joreth said.
"You are late."
"I told you I was going to work on songs today."
"I thought you meant in your hotel room like a reasonable human being, not in some grimy dive bar."
"Hey," Bodhi and Jyn said in concert.
"It's not grimy," Joreth said. "It's very nice. Good beer." He drank the last of it and set his pint glass down.
Bodhi, who was in charge of ordering, looked mollified. Jyn narrowed her eyes at Kay.
Kay ignored her. "Come along."
"Hang on." Joreth swiped a line across the middle of his sheet music, wrote a quick string of notes, and a phrase, and then folded the papers into a leather portfolio and got up. "See you around," he said to Jyn, and left with his - friend? Minder? Captor?
Bodhi sidled up. "Do you remember," he said, "how as your lifelong best friend, I'm contractually obligated to let you know when you're being a human disaster?"
"What was disastrous about that?" Jyn asked, opening up her schedule, then remembering she'd finished it. Although if Shara couldn't get babysitting again - "We were talking about music."
"You were talking about Cassian Andor."
"Is this a don't-talk-about-dudes-with-other-dudes thing? Because if bringing up a pop star is a violation, that's awfully damn fragile."
Bodhi threw his hands in the air. "You were talking about Cassian Andor with Cassian Andor!"
"What?"
"And he was into you!"
"His name was Joreth,” she mumbled, still stuck on talking about Cassian Andor with Cassian Andor.
"Sure," Bodhi said. "And yours is Liana."
"But he - " She waved her hand in front of her face. "He had a beard. And a ball cap."
"Right, right, yeah, I forgot. Multi-platinum pop stars are physically incapable of growing facial hair, and putting on a ball cap when they might not want to be recognized."
She goggled into the near distance. "Oh my god, I'm a disaster."
"Well, I tried," Bodhi said.
She shoved him. "By coughing? What happened to sending me a text?"
"Your phone's dead. Again."
She picked it up and found it dark. "Oh, yeah."
He shook his head. "Seriously, there's no helping you."
The bar phone rang and Jyn reached for it. "The Kyber."
"May I speak to Liana?"
"Speaking."
"I represent Cassian Andor. He'd like to invite you to be his special guest at Club Yavin tomorrow night."
Jyn hung up.
"Scammer?" Bodhi said.
The phone rang again. "I assume we got disconnected," the person on other end said disdainfully. Now she could identify the voice of the tall skinny guy. "As I was saying, Cassian Andor would like you to join - "
"Yes, I heard you the first time," she said. "Is this a joke?"
"No joke, I assure you," said the rather bored voice. "Cassian is presently sitting across from me in the limo, making faces and gesturing wildly - "
"Kay!" said a strangled voice. 
"It is very distracting. Are you coming or not? If you leave him in suspense, he might have an aneurysm, and he has to play a show in five hours."
A groan loud enough for the phone to pick it up.
"Let me talk to him," Jyn said. 
"I am capable of giving you all the information you need - "
"Cassian," she snapped. "Now."
A minor scuffle, and then the voice of Joreth - no, Cassian - came over the line. "Hi."
"This how you get your jollies?" she demanded. "By picking up strange women in bars who don't recognize you?"
"It helped," he said. "Liana, I - "
"Jyn," she said. "It's Jyn."
"Jyn," he said. "And I'm Cassian."
"Yeah. Yeah, I figured that out."
"Well, what do you think? I'll send a car so you don't have to fight traffic, and we can get dinner after. Or drinks - or - "
She pursed her lips. "I dunno. It's been a long time since I went and saw a guy play guitar in a club. I might have something else to do."
Bodhi grabbed the phone. "She's coming. You can pick her up here. What time? Great. She'll be ready." He hung up. 
She punched him. "Bodes!"
"That was no time to play it cool, Jyn. You have a date with Cassian Andor, and he's totally into you." He looked thoughtful. "Also, pop star or not, he might be as much of a human disaster as you are."

HAIIIIIII could you maybe consider writing something for stephen x neil? something angsty perhaps? (i’m thinking maybe with how neil started acting once everyone stoped hanging out together, maybe he’s like real upset about stephen specifically since he’s Pining Real Bad over him?) maybe a tearful confession? but anything really is good HEEGEHEHE!!!! :3
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS IDEA!! This was so much fun to write, angst is one of my favorite things. I really hope you enjoy how I portrayed your idea!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ONESHOT: NEIL'S TEARFUL CONFESSION TO STEPHEN
Neil was sitting at the kitchen table, eating his dinner in silence. Stephen had been at Kim’s house for hours, hanging out with Joseph. It seemed that was all Stephen did these days, and Neil was constantly left alone to do things in silence.
“Dude, Neil!” Stephen finally came home and into the kitchen. “We finished the Sex Bob-Omb album! And Joseph and I are starting a new band!”
“Great,” Neil hummed, continuing to eat his food.
“I thought you’d be more excited, man,” Stephen said, sitting across from Neil.
“I dunno, I guess I am,” Neil muttered. “I just, I’ve been feeling left out.”
“What? You’ve just been busy, haven’t you? With your exams and all, right?” Stephen asked, furrowing his brow.
“Y-yeah, but not 24/7! We’re still friends, aren’t we?” Neil grew a little more frustrated.
“Of course we are,” Stephen replied, looking down at his hands and then back up at Neil. “Things are just… Busy, y’know?”
“I never see you anymore, Stephen. I’m sad,” Neil explained. “All I do is study, play video games, and eat. I do it all in silence without you, without Scott, without Kim… Ever since you guys started going to Kim’s house for practice.”
Stephen didn’t think he had ever heard Neil speak that much in one sentence. He was usually so soft-spoken, so to-the-point, so clear and concise. He knew Neil was being serious.
“I-I’m sorry, Neil, I am… I don’t know what else to say,” Stephen sighed.
Tears welled up in Neil’s eyes. This was something deeper than not seeing Stephen as much as he used to.
“You spend all your time with Joseph. What’s so special about him, anyway?”
“He-he’s cool! He makes cool music, and we have meaningful conversations, and he’s just chill,” Stephen started to become frustrated too.
“Whatever,” Neil sighed, leaving the kitchen to go upstairs to his bedroom. He wasn’t the type to talk about his feelings like that. What he said was enough for the night.
Once he was in his bedroom, he laid down in his bed, faced the wall, and began to cry. He had feelings for Stephen. More than just friend feelings. 
“Neil?” He heard Stephen’s voice outside the door after a few minutes. “Can I come in?”
Neil sat up and wiped away his tears. “Yeah,”
Stephen came into the room and sat next to Neil on the bed. “I’m sorry for making you upset,” He started. “I want to tell you something important.”
“I’m listening,” Neil replied.
“The reason I’ve been hanging around Joseph so much is because…” Stephen started, taking a deep breath. “I like him. I want to go out with him… Y’know?”
Neil’s heart skipped a beat. He felt himself go flush. He had no idea how to respond to that news.
“Are you okay?” Stephen asked. “Don’t tell me you’re homophobic or something-”
“N-no, I’m not homophobic, I-” Neil took a deep breath and exhaled. “I like you, Stephen. I want to go out with you.” Tears suddenly streamed down his face.
Stephen now had the same reaction. His mouth agape, he was trying to find a response in his mind.
“I’m sorry, you probably think I’m crazy or something,” Neil sobbed. 
“I don’t think you’re crazy,” Stephen replied. “I just think… We’re buds, y’know? I’ve never really seen us as anything more…”
“I understand,” Neil sniffled. “Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen.”
Stephen felt bad, but he agreed. He gave Neil a hug and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Although Neil wanted to pretend it never happened, he couldn’t. He couldn’t forget his love for Stephen, let alone his tearful confession. He thought he could fix things, and they would be best friends again, but this made it worse in his mind. He laid in bed again, faced the wall, and continued to cry.

giacomo (pokemon scavio) NSFW alphabet <3
no one asked for this but i wanted to do it anyway :D
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex) honestly at first, giacomo has no aspect of aftercare. it’s not that he doesn’t care about you - it’s more so an ignorance thing. he’s sorta like ‘wow that was awesome, now lemme do something else i find awesome’, and he’ll be off. if you don’t tell him, ‘hey, actually stay in bed and cuddle with me a little’, he won’t. again, he doesn’t do it on purpose, he just doesn’t really understand the point of aftercare.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) he likes all of himself. he’s not narcissistic per se, he’s just confident, and doesn’t really have a reason to not like any part of himself.  his favourite body part on his partner is their ass. since i started writing gia smut, i’ve been an avid believer that gia is an ass man all the way. he LOVES your ass.  
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) giacomo will cum on your body 99% of the time. usually on your ass. he just loves seeing himself on you (and he can use it as an album cover if he distorts the image enough) - it gives him a giant ego boost. if you’re giving him a blowjob, he’ll cum in your mouth. it just feels warm and nice. he will also OCCASIONALLY cum in you, but that’s super rare, and it’s usually when he’s feeling a little more intimate. 
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) he definitely wants to try anal at some stage, but he’s scared you won’t want to and he doesn’t want to get rejected, so he just keeps it to himself and prays that you bring it up someday.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) i feel like gia would be a LIIIIITTTLEEE experienced (maybe like one or two previous partners), but let’s not forget he was also an entire LOSER at one stage and everyone hated him, so his experienced is probably super limited. he knows what he’s doing (or he likes to think he does), though, and he’s a super quick learner. he’s also an avid porn watcher and has learnt a decent amount from that. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) D O G G Y i have been saying this since day 1. giacomo is a doggy man through and through. a suuuuper vast majority of the time, he’ll have you with your back arched downwards - but sometimes (very very VERY rarely) he’ll ~spice it up~ a little and fuck you in missionary. he also likes when you ride him (cowgirl or reverse cowgirl, he doesn’t really care), because of the closeness and the intimate aspect to it. 
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) he CAN be funny during sex - but he’s more mouthy and teasing most of the time. some of the most common things you’ll hear from him are ‘can’t hear ya, princess. you’ve gotta moan louder.’ or alternatively, ‘just like that. nice and loud for me’.  after you’ve finished, he’ll make a few little humorous comments like ‘shit, that was better than all my shows combined!’, or little comments like that, that probably aren’t even meant to come across as funny, but still do. 
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) he doesn’t really care about shaving or trimming, he’ll do it if you ask, and occasionally he’ll do it because ‘he thinks you’ll like the surprise’. 
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)  giacomo can be romantic, but it’s not common. usually he just likes to make teasing comments (i go into this in a little more detail further down in the post) while taking you at a steady pace, but if he’s feeling especially romantic, he’ll take you in missionary and whisper sweet nothings to you - “so beautiful.. can’t believe you’re mine..” “i love you, princess..” but overall. he’s not super romantic during sex. 
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) honestly, he doesn’t jack off too much. even before you, he didn’t really jack off much. sure, he does it every now and again, he’s a guy after all, but he’s not one of the guys who’ll sit there and jerk off for HOURS. most of the time he’ll just let his horniness subside by itself, if you’re not in the mood of course. 
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks) he’s not super kinky, he has a MILD exhibition kink (but for others hearing you both, not so much seeing you). he LOVES LOVES hearing you moan, he'll do anything to hear you chant his name over and over.  it’s not a kink per se, but he is super into taking you from behind - he loves it so so so much.  he’s into the basics (light choking and light hair pulling) but nothing scandalous. 
L = Location (favorite places to do the do) he honestly prefers semi-private places - but he’s down for anywhere as long as it isn’t RIGHT in public. he’ll take you in different spots around the base, the safest place being in his tent, but if he’s feeling risky, he’ll take you by the vending machines.  he likes other people to hear whats happening, but not see it.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) ass. bodycon dresses, short shorts, short skirts, tight shorts, tight pants - anything that shows off your ass. he is a horny man in general, but giacomo will take you any where, any time if you’re wearing something that really shows off your body.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) he probably wouldn’t want to be pegged. also ‘nothin’ too weird’, in his words. gia wouldn’t be into anything SUPER hardcore - honestly i feel like beside the more basic kinks, he wouldn’t be into much, a lot of it would turn him off either out of nervousness that he wouldn’t be able to do it right, or out of disgust (gia definitely kink shames, unfortunately)
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) he prefers receiving, 100%. sitting at his desk, working on tracks, while you’re on your knees ? heaven. he LOVES head.  he’s not SUPER big on eating you out, but he’ll do it occasionally, either when you ask or when he feels like it. he’s pretty good at it, he’s not AMAZING but he definitely doesn’t suck at it. 
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) giacomo sits right in between fast and rough, and slow. he’s not SUPER fast, but he most definitely isn’t slow. he fucks you at just the right pace, but he speeds up towards the end when he feels like he’s gonna cum. 
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) he doesn’t mind them - he’s just sorta indifferent to them. of course he’d prefer to have you for hours at a time, but if he can only take you for a few minutes, that better than not at all right?
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) he’s totally up for risk-taking, at least, he thinks he is. he’s up for it, and then gets a little nervous, but once he says ‘fuck it, let’s just do it’, he’s fine.  he’s open to anything you wanna do, even if he thinks he might not like it. he just wants to give everything a go, who knows - he might end up enjoying it, and then that’s something else you can add to your ~sexy~ times.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) he has GOOD stamina. his stamina is entirely fuelled by you, though. the louder your pretty moans are, the more he’s gonna wanna fuck you so he can hear you for longer.  
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) there has never been a day in giacomo’s life that he’s ever even thought about buying or using a toy. now that he’s with you, it’s crossed his mind (a cute little vibe nestled right above your clit, buzzing just fast enough to get you moaning even louder), but he won’t bring it up unless you do. he probably won’t use any, ever. he just doesn’t see the point or find them appealing.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) he LOVES teasing. he’ll usually do it when he’s busy, though. he could be working on a new track, but he’ll be doing it one handed, because he’ll have you across his lap, his free hand circling your clit, and eventually dipping his fingers into you. he’ll have you like this for hours, keeping you edged for as long as he wants.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) he makes an average amount of noise. he LOVES hearing you, so he consciously makes sure he isn’t too loud so he doesn’t drown out your moans. 
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) y’all remember that reddit post about the guy who fucked his gf to this shitty ass song for YEARS ? (if you don’t, it’s this: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/x35iu6/tifu_my_20f_girlfriend_of_two_years_told_me_the/) yeah, this is gia. not all the time, but occasionally he’ll fuck you to some shitty soundcloud song he swears by. sometimes he’ll fuck you to his own songs. 
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes) his italian genes CARRIED here. this man is 6ish inches, give or take. he’ll tell you that he’s 6.5/7, though, just for his own ego boost. 
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) gia is one horny man. he is almost constantly horny - but can you blame him ? the sight of you, the thought of you even, drives him insane. if he seems lost in thought, chances are he’s thinking about how he’d like to rail you right where you two are.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) if you did the do at night time, i feel like he wouldn’t sleep immediately afterwards, but he also wouldn’t stay up for hours afterwards either. he’d stay up for a little, do whatever it is he didn’t get to finish during the day, and maybe then he’d head to sleep.

“Aren’t i important too?”
Melanie Martinez x fem!reader
Warnings: hurt/comfort, soft!mel
Melanie and I were walking out the door to go for a special picnic since it was our 11th month anniversary before Mel got a phone call from her manager. Her manager only ever calls her if it’s important so sadly Melanie had to answer it. She was getting frustrated with them on the phone and she sighed with a sad look in her eyes and you had an idea on what she was going to say.
“I’m so sorry babes…but I have to go to an important meeting right now. But I’ll be back before you know and we can reschedule our date!” She said, trying to be positive about the situation. You looked down, tears brimming in your eyes and you felt your heart shatter. Usually it doesn’t bother you but whenever y’all plan to do something, something comes up and she has to leave. You know she has to and it’s important but you feel like you aren’t her top priority anymore…
She gently lifted your chin and frowned when she saw tears streaming down your face. “Bug…” she started but you interrupted her “no no…I’m sorry…I know this is important. I’m just being a baby…” you sniffled as Melanie shook her head. “You aren’t being a baby y/n. Not at all. It’s okay to feel sad and mad, because honestly I am too…I was really looking forward to this…” she stated which made you cry even more.
“I-it feels l-like I-I’m not t-that I-important t-to you a-anymore…” you cried out and Melanie took you into her arms before letting go quickly. “Shit! Im going to be late! I promise we will reschedule my love. I’ll be back very soon. I love you bug.” She says softly as she leaned down and have your forehead a big, lingering kiss.
You smiled sadly as you see her walk out the door and leave in her car. You sighed shakily and sat on the couch and started watching your favorite comfort show/movie.
~ two hours later~
Time has passed and Melanie still hasn’t come home yet. Usually these meetings only take an hour or a half if that, but you weren’t that worried. You went on your phone to instagram to just scroll until you saw some photos of Melanie that was new. She was sitting with her manager and some woman you didn’t recognize, laughing together. Of course the thought of Melanie cheating crossed but you knew never in a million years would she EVER do that to you, but you still felt really jealous.
You put your phone down and tears came back to your eyes again and that’s when you heard the door being unlocked. You quickly wiped your tears away and jumped up to go see her. She walked through the door and not even giving her a second you jumped into her arms and cling onto her.
“Oof! Hey bug! Ya missed me?” She jokingly said, knowing damn well you do. You nodded your head against her shoulder and she giggled. You never responded to her and she was confused. Sure you were very shy and quiet but not this much. Something must of happened or she’s still upset about earlier.
She went over to the couch and sat down with you still in her arms. “What’s wrong bug? You seem extra quiet right now.” She asked you with a soft voice. You sighed and started fiddling with your fingers, she noticed and carefully took your hands in hers and you started messing around with her rings. “It’s just…I really miss you…we barley get to go out on our dates or just go out in general because of your manager always calling or something else comes up….I know you love me but it feels like I’m not important to you anymore…”. You say with a shaky voice which made melanie frown.
“And who was that girl that was with you and your manager? You guys seemed to have fun…”. You answered with a jealous tone. Melanie smirked at that and decided not to tease you right now since you were very upset at the moment. She took your face in her hands “bug…I’m so incredibly sorry for all of this. It’s because of my album that I’m releasing next week and I’m hella nervous that why my manager keeps checking in on me and keeps setting up meetings to make sure the album IS really ready to come out. I know this isn’t an excuse but I just want to say I’m sorry. And that girl was a friend of my manager. She is high in the music industry and she looked over my album and my visions for my movie for portals and she said that they were all perfect! So that means that I’m completely done with the album and the visions for the movie. I just need to wait for the okay from my music label.” She said excitedly.
Your mouth was agape and you were shocked. “Wait so…no more interruptions for now? And you are fully done with the album?!” You said with enthusiasm. “Yup! I’m done and I’m completely yours for a few weeks since I will have tons of interviews to do but I will push them back because YOU are my top priority. You always will be and I’m sorry for not reminding you of that.” She said softly while looking deep into y/e/c. You squealed with excitement and started peppering kisses all over her face. She started giggling then it turned into full blown laughter.
You stopped kissing her so she could take a moment to breath “I’m so excited! We can finally go on the dates we have missed and hang out more!” You said happily. “Anything you want babygirl. I’m all yours.”
A/n: I hope I followed through with what the request said. I hope you all enjoyed! Remember to stay hydrated and rest! I love y’all!

https://www.tumblr.com/seasurfacefullofclouds1/740043652615864320/louis-working-with-that-producer-is-exciting
he produced all of how big how blue how beautiful which is my favorite florence + the machine album… 🥹 also love ur usage of the word gestation bc everyone on twt is saying some version of “louis is pregnant with LT3” hahaha
How Big How Blue How Beautiful is an amazing album. FATM must have been an outstanding artist to work with.
@silverfoxlou is instilling hope in me that maybe a new Louis single will be out in time for his participation in summer festivals. I’ve kind of given up hope that his team knows how to time or promote Louis’ music properly at all. I’m just going to ride the wave and enjoy it. If there’s a single, I hope it gets proper promotion, but since Simon Jones and Lisa Wilkinson/ Charlotte Claber are still doing his promo, it’ll go down like usual. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised!
I know his team is counting on fans to spread the word this year, and keep buying more of whatever. Despite what Louis says on stage, Louis’ team 100% takes the international fans for granted (outside of USA and Europe).“Build it and they will come” is the mantra. There’s little work done to earn the loyalty. The team’s actions and words belie their complacency, and FITFWT Asia is testament to it. Sending last minute vinyls for a UA to give away might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Louis is trying to establish his performance credit with indie audiences this summer, and best wishes to him to smash his sets. But the team (and Louis) needs to change how they view his career. Arctic Monkeys fans aren’t asking their parents for money to buy a hoodie. Louis must let the music do the talking — that means music has to get outside of festival grounds, outside of devoted fans streaming and buying it. And Louis himself has to leave his comfort zone: make something that his fans might not necessarily like, and go out to promote it.
