#I’ve enjoyed these so much hehehehehe

[devdevlin]

I love Peremo!!! Thank you for sharing your story with us. The ending still keeps me lying in bed awake at night, in the best way.

If still you're answering questions ... What pushed Tom to kiss Hermione the first, maybe only, time? What did he think when he saw her Mudblood scar? Does he ever try to kiss her again after the epilogue, or is that too intimate for him?

Thank you once more. You are amazing!!

Ah thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for dropping in! 🖤

Ok, so a major contributor to Peremo Tom’s characterisation that I tried to bring into the story was his underlying jealousy of the purebloods he surrounds himself with. In the case of Avery, Tom intervened and ruined Avery’s chance with Hermione, and she was absolutely correct with her accusations of why he would do such a thing: “You just can't handle someone choosing him over you, can you? I bet it eats you up.”

Up until that point, Tom didn’t necessarily want Hermione herself; instead, what he wanted was to be the wanted one. And when Hermione recognised that and called him out on his BS (likely the first person who��d ever been bold enough to do that), we see his mask slip.

Hermione, knowing Tom as Voldemort, instinctively assumes that all he is capable of is violence. But this is a younger, more level-headed Tom who is residing in the castle, surrounded by professors and portraits and students. If he went around torturing and killing everyone who got under his skin, there’d be no one left 😂 AND SO, when she continues to push him and force his mask further off, his ‘outburst’ (?), his way of subduing her, isn’t violent… it’s sexual 🤷‍♀️

That was a long answer sorry, and I don’t know if it makes sense… but it does to me lol.

As for the Mudblood scar, Tom was bothered by her lie just as Hermione assumes (about being half-blood), but he was also immediately intrigued by the dark-magic nature of the scars (hence him trying to recreate them later on).

And, finally, as for more kissing much later on in their story… I imagine it does happen, albeit, harshly, much like the first one 🙂🤗🖤

HEY IM BACKK🤭 Wakasa has been on my mind the past days (he deadass appeared in my dream💀) So I got a request where Wakasa is friends with reader and secretly likes her but hides it really well. So when the 1st gen bd drink together and Waka gets drunk he won't get off her, hugging her n stuff and it eventually leads to a sleepy confession from him ykk🤭 The others all tease him the next day for it😭 (sry if this is kinda long)

Omgg hi again! I’m so glad you decided to request again (I love Wakasa)

Your requests are always interesting ml heheheheh, even though I’m not really proud of this one, I still hope you’ll enjoy it (and sorry for the wait)

No warnings, alcohol consumption (a bit too much in this instance) fluff and crack

Every time you changed something about your appearance, no matter how small it was, no matter how many of your friends didn’t notice, Wakasa always did. Might be the slightest change in your hair or makeup, you’d always receive a "It suits you well" or "That’s a nice change". He would always carry that bored expression as he says it, as if he didn’t really care. But how would he notice such small details if he didn’t?

Of course he cared. He was your best friend after all. You called him that, others called you that, he called himself that. Even if those words left a bitter taste in his mouth. Yet he’d never act on it. He was content with what he had, content with the proximity you two shared. Even though he wanted more, he swallowed back all his feelings. Because Wakasa, as much as he didn’t like to admit it, was scared to lose you. So he swallowed back the lingering touches he wanted to give you, any comments that could appear as "too much", for the sake of your friendship. One he would continue to cherish, even if that meant settling for less than he wanted.

- "Come on, just one drink!"

You rolled your eyes. Currently, you were downplaying the invitation of your friend, really insistent to get you to drink with the small group tonight.

- "Dont insist, Omi… I have work tomorrow…"

It was Takeomi’s turn to roll his eyes.

- "Just live a little… beside…"

A small smirk appeared on his face. You were almost, almost curious as to what he was about to say.

- "I don’t believe you’ve ever seen Waka getting drunk…"

Your annoyed rambling about work stopped for a second. He was right, your best friend, the one you’ve known since so long… Have never been drunk in front of you. And you couldn’t deny that the thought made you curious. What kind of drunk was he? Emotional drunk? Tired drunk?.. Yeah, definitely that…

After a few seconds of thinking, you sighed, you couldn’t deny one drink sounded nice.

- "One drink…" You finally indulged, watching his smirk widen

- "You won’t regret it… it’s actually pretty fun to watch…"

On those words, you started walking toward the bar you often went at, where the others were probably already waiting.

And when Takeomi told you it would be fun to watch, you didn’t expect that. And based on his expression, he didn’t either.

You were trying to drink in your now half empty glass, but you found it difficult to do so, as a pair of strong arms were wrapped around your figure.

- "I’ve… never seen him like this before…" Stated Shinichiro, sitting across of you. In his eyes was a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

At this point, all the eyes around the table were on you, more precisely on the man clutching at your side. Wakasa Imaushi, the White Leopard, Black dragons founding member and first generation Special attack Unit captain, THE living legend… Clinging to you like a lost child.

- "N-No one- hic -can touch her… ‘xcept me…" He mumbled, eyes closed and face red from all the shots he had.

You were torn. You’ve never seen him like that, with you or with anyone. And your best friend being so clingy, so… touchy… felt weird. But at the same time… it wasn’t a bad kind of weird.

- Waka… I think I’ll drive you home…

As you muttered those words, you felt his grip tightening. Goddamnit was he strong. You winced slightly, trying to get him off, to no avail.

- "Can someone… Help me out here?.." you asked, a bit annoyed at the lack of reaction from your friends

The three guys exchanged looks, before looking back at you.

- "I mean… you heard him." Started Takeomi, a sly grin on his face

- "No one can touch you except him!" Finished Keizo, raising his hands to support his words

You rolled your eyes, hearing the three of them laughing like degenerates. Unbelievable.

You had to find something though. You wanted to go home, too. Yet it was proven difficult with the bag of muscles holding you tightly.

You sighed, looking at his slumped form, trying to find something to get him off.

- "… Hey Waka… Let’s go home, mhm?.." You tried to bargain, with seemingly no success.

- "N-Nah… M’staying… with you…" He mumbled, his speech almost incomprehensible.

You sighed sighed again. You definitely wanted to go home, getting a bit tired yourself.

- "… Wanna sleep at my place?.." You asked, as all eyes on the table landed on you, even his. You felt a need to denfend yourself to your peers.

- "N-Not like that! I’m not that kind of person!" You tried to defend yourself

- "That’s really inappropriate. I wouldn’t have taken you for the type…" Teased the black haired mechanic, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

- "Mhmm… Take me home, love…"

Your eyes widened, as everyone else’s. You looked down at your lap, eyes landing on a very sleepy Waka, nuzzling your thigh.

- "… Yeah, I’ll take him home… He’s… not in his right mind…" You muttered, trying to calm the emotions he provoked by calling you that.

- "Heh, you know what they say… A drunk man’s words is a sober man’s thoughts!"

You glared at Takeomi, who was laughing his ass off with your other friends. They wouldn’t let that die down easily…

You called a cab, trying to walk with a grown ass man clutched at your hip. Quite a humorous sight, really.

The drive wasn’t long thankfully, and you managed to drag the drunk man in your bed. You were too tired to do anything else, crashing on the mattress next to his unconscious form. You were about to fall asleep, when his voice caught your attention.

-" ‘Meant it, y’know… I don’t… wanna be your friend… wanna be more…"

You listened to his drunken confession, your own eyes fighting to stay open and focused on his relaxed face.

- "Wanna… hold you and… do shit couples do, I dunno…"

A small silence followed his words, lingering in the air. You looked at him one last time, before your eyes closed on their own.

- "G’night, Waka…"

The only answer you received was the sound of his slow breathing and light snores. You would deal with that tomorrow…

- "Hey, "love"! Mind grabbing me a beer?" Teased a certain black haired man, as your now boyfriend was glaring at him, fighting the urge to smash his head on the coffee table.

- "Takeomi I swear to god…" He warned, pinching the bridge of his nose as you let out a small chuckle.

He could now hold you, kiss you, and do plenty of other shit couples do.

I waited for this moment and HERE WE ARE

Thank you to all GOBB artists (even that’s not included in the images) for inspiring and helping me to stay in Tumblr to give more content to the GOBB community! I’ve never been more happy as becoming a well-known artist is my dream since 4 years ago, and it’s starting to happen: more people are questioning and requesting, more notes and more love! I’ve always wanted to show my art to a large audience and hoped they enjoyed what I created and it’s all bcs of all of u!!! I love u all :)))

Artists that are mentioned that I decided to draw in their artstyles (I still can’t express how much I love them):

- @faceeeeee (best artist ever, I can’t deny how friendly she is; the reason why I even continued to create GOBB art)

- @rununcal (FACE EXPRESSIONS, I LOVE UR-ahem I mean I really love the character designs and uniqueness of how he draws them and their expressions :)))

- @smallbcarly (Bitttyyyyyyy I remembered saving her most famous post in my gallery while I was still starting to browse through GOBB, loving the art snd keep it up!)

- @jordoperson (HEHEHEHEHE silli goofy art of everyone being a menace to society; u love to see it (The meme templates made me laugh in the bathroom like a maniac))

- @crypticscribblzz (Aheuaghrhfhjfj I enjoyed seeing her art for the first time when I was posting my first few GOBB art just bcs I was bored; she gave me inspiration to give Syringy a tail to begin with keke

- @artofgerald (THE REASON WHY I EVEN JOINED- I mean yes I saw his Bitty post while scrolling through Google and I always wondered who it belonged to bcs it was really cool (just noticed it was his art a fee days ago ☠️) love the animations and cartoony depictions of them aheodjdhskso)

Welp I’m gonna be off from my vacation, the flight will only be 2hrs maxed and hope there wouldn’t be any delays beforehand lol

Kinda nice to end the vacation with this before I continue my goals of the big project

As for requests I’ll answer them shortly after I get back bcs my 4 pencils look like ants and I feel like doing it traditionally rather than digital so yes gotta wait)

I had fun drawing these different art styles, they were all pretty in their own ways (oh ya i only used less than ten references-)

Ya ok I’ve been at this for about 20+ minutes I’m too chatty in these posts (idrc tho that’s how I enjoy this app)

[shotmrmiller]

i love reading your all works and absolutely love the pornstar! au. i’ve never sent an ask before but reading all the previous drabbles and asks i could help but think about that fated time when reader and ghost have to film a scene again.

theres really not any plot for the video they are supposed to film. the studio just wants another viral scene with the two of them. so they fly them out to a nice location, rent out a gorgeous house with plans to have the two of them fuck on every surface they can.

everything seems to be going well since the last time actually spoke to one another. ghost trys to playfully apologize for picking up the phone while he was having sex (wether he meant to or not) and the reader just accepts it with a smile. he thinks everything is going great until they actually start filming and the moment he slips into her, he knows some is off.

shes making noises, moaning and whining like she usually does but the pitch is off. she isn’t clenching around him in the way that he remembers, in fact she isn’t clenching at all, even though she looks like shes enjoying it. he’s balls deep in her when it hits him like a ton of bricks, shes faking it.

his brain is tryna keep up with everything thats happening around him. the lights, cameras, and (the lack of) sensations all around him, almost become too much to handle in that moment. that would probably be the first time in a long time that he had to push himself to finish.

sorry if this has to many grammatical errors or anything like that, im on my phone rn. but yeah that was in my mind lmao. again love your work 😘

heheheheh ur evil!!!

i love it!!!

and maybe he asks for a cut, he can't do this.

"what's wrong, Ghost?"

how does he bring up the fact that you're dry? he knows what you feel like in the throes of your pleasure, and this isn't that.

"you're not aroused, love. maybe i can use my mouth?"

your laugh is forced. it makes his skin crawl.

"no, that's alright. maybe some lube?"

it's a blow to his ego. what, is his tongue not good enough anymore? his fingers not doing the trick?

is he getting old?

"nothing personal, yeah?"

no. it's everything personal and he tells you so.

"mmmm, no, no i don't think it is. This is work, see. A job. So take your viagra or whatever, get the warm lube and let's get this done. You can lie back and think of london."

he does. he lets you do all the work, hates that your pussy isn't drooling on him like it usually does, your moans and cries so high-pitched and fake, they grate his ears.

he digs his fingers into the meat if you arse as you bounce on his cock and when he comes, it's with your face behind his eyelids, from the first time he took you.

you also pull out as he comes, painting only his tightened stomach with his spend, warm on his skin.

your coquettish smile sets his teeth on edge.

fake fake fake

so fucking fake.

when the director calls it, youre shooting up off the bed, leaving him to clean himself up.

"i'm gonna order some food, you want some?"

as if he could eat with the nausea that rolls through him.

"no? allllrighty."

when he gets a text of his main squeeze, it clicks.

he can't get his cake and eat it too.

[e-vay]

Evay I've been reading some fanfics that I think you'll really like! I'm going to put their name here along with the creator, because I don't know how to put their name marked like you do haha.

“Importance in Love Form” was the PERFECT follow up to that devastating (jk) Tailstube episode! I’m glad Amy got some justice in that fic 🥰

“Changing Seasons” broke my heart, but man was that angst tasty! I’m sad to see the author hasn’t updated it in awhile. I hope they will come back to it because I was really enjoying it.

“Rosy Cheeks” was so sweet and charming. It warmed my heart up and it was nice to get the sense of winter because where I live it’s hot as hell right now haha

🎃Halloween Smut!👻

Surprise surprise!

Monster Au Ray x Human Reader

Hehehehehe! You have no idea what I’ve been cookin up for this one…. 🤭✨

Also making up some lore cause Con didn’t give other info other than him being a distant from humanity type Demi god. So no this isn’t canon. 🥲

————————————————————————————————————————

You wondered into a forest a few months ago, only to literally trip and fall through a fake version of the forest, when groaning in pain from it, you hear a man’s voice asking what exactly you wanted, you opened your eyes to see a guy, who you thought was cosplaying, but was actually a Demi god, you ended up staying for a bit talking to him, he seemed curious about you, and you were curious about him. You promised to keep him a secret, and in exchange he wanted to see you again.

Today was no different, you went to see him, you brought some food that you made planning to have a bit of a picnic.

“Hey Ray!”

Ray smiles as you walked over to him with the basket with food. You didn’t know how he was developing feelings for you, or at least was until today, he planned on telling you. As you hugged him, he couldn’t help but savor the feeling of your warmth, you were like a shining star against the darkness after all the years he’s spent alone.

“It’s good to see you again star.”

“Again with the nickname?”

“Don’t like it?”

“No, it’s actually nice.”

Ray couldn’t help but smile at your blushing face, loved that expression. He wanted to see more.

��Ahem! I got the food!”

“Hm.”

“I hope you like it, I’m not much of a chief but I try.”

“I believe I’ll enjoy it regardless of your cooking skill.”

“Even if it’s burnt or something?”

Ray laughed at that one, you pouted. Later on you were both done with eating the food, you ramble on upon your interests and Ray listened to you ramble on and on. He never got tired of hearing your voice. He loved it, like a sweet melody to his ears. Maybe due to lack of communication over the years but, regardless he still loved it. When you continued he suddenly yet slowly creased your face. You felt you face heat up to the sudden gesture, which Ray smiles at the reaction.

“Star, I’ve been meaning to tell you this for awhile now.”

“Huh?”

“I’ve fallen for you.”

“Wha-“

Your face was on fire at this point, he confessed to you??? Yet again, you didn’t think he’d ever feel that way with you. Who knows? He could’ve been an emotionless Demi god for all you knew. You did say you felt the same, not long after you two were together. You had no idea life would have literally threw a attractive demi god as your boyfriend, but it did. You two we’re happy together that’s for sure, he was very sweet to you and you were always there to see him when he was lonely after years of being alone. Another date with him, you we’re enjoying his company when all of a sudden it starts raining, he didn’t want you to catch a cold so he rushed you to where he was staying, you were a bit surprised at how quickly you got there but remembered quickly that he was literally a powerful force on earth.

“You don’t have to worry Ray I’m fine.”

“But you’ll catch something, I may not have interacted with humans in awhile but I know at time where I did humans get easily sick.”

He has a point, but you wouldn’t die from something like that.

“I’ll be-“

“Here.”

“Agh-“

He tossed you some of his clothes?? (Mf don’t ask! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT HES WEARING AS A DEMI GOD DAMN IT!!)

“Um… how and where?”

Ray told you how and pointed over to a place for privacy. Ray always wondered what you would look like with his clothes on. When you finally came out with your wet clothes in hand, you saw a bit of pink in his cheeks, safe to say that he liked seeing you those. Though looking like someone out of a Greek myth. You were a bit surprised at how comfortable Ray’s bed was. Soon you hear how some humans did “worship” a certain god, and when he was born he to was told to be a blessed child, however didn’t know what exactly he was supposed to be blessed for, to see as those who he wanted to fit in with only ether fear or ignore him? Or just obey his wishes because of the way he was brought in this world. You couldn’t help but feel bad for him. Especially since now a days, you were the only one to visit him. You wondered what happened to the people around him but never thought to ask him at all. You hugged him, he simply smiled at you.

“No worries though, you’re the only human I want around.”

“And this human being your lovely star.”

Ray laughs at this, as soon a he did you kissed his cheek, he was caught off guard a bit but soon, he kissed you on the lips, soon followed up with a deep passionate kiss. You wanted to taste more of him, he wanted more of you as well. It was obvious how eager the both of you were. He had you laid on your back, kissing you again. He was experienced alright, you felt his hands touch your skin, the more he did the more you felt your desire for him build.

“Star… I-“

“I want it to.”

He seems a bit surprised, as if he was expecting you to reject him. You smiled at him, and he couldn’t help but smile back, you wanting him made him feel good about it. You felt his lips against your skin, his hands now moving to take off the clothes you wore, it was easy, to say the least, thank god it was. You felt him grip your waist a bit, feeling him against you through his clothing. He soon started removing his clothes, you couldn’t help but admire him, desire him more. He kissed your lips ever so passionately. You felt him as you moaned with pleasure, him finally inside you. You felt the hot breath against your neck, as he thrusts, the pleasure intensifies as each passing moment of his movements of his hips hits against you. That feeling his grip on your waist, the sound of his pleasured groans and moans, you just can’t help but feel amazing when he gives it to you like this. The love, warmth, and passion he gives to you. It felt so fucking good. Your lips met with his again as you and him shared this moment together. Feeling him pick up the pace more and more. You were sure you were seeing actual stars at this point, and you didn’t have any regrets ever doing so. You could hear Ray utter your name aside your ear again and again, you wanted to say his so badly, so much that the pleasure itself would interrupt your own voice from doing so, when you finally did, you felt him kiss and lick your neck, soon the pleasure becomes so good, you finally feel like you reached your limit, as he speeds up you moan with pleasure as he finally finishes, the both of you a panting mess. The way he looks into your eyes as you looks up at him, full of love and longing. Does he want more? All he did was kiss you, and allowed you to get rest. When you did wake up again, your clothes were still a bit wet, but you and Ray decided to talk a bit still, soon losing track of time.

“It’s getting late.”

“Oh… well isn’t that something…”

“I guess this means you’re going to leave soon-“

“Mind if I stay the night?”

You look at Ray pleadingly as he sat there stunned by the question.

“You… haha”

“Hm?”

“Sneaky little Star.”

“You’re one and only.~”

Sharing another passionate kiss, as you placed your arms around him, soon turning to cuddles in bed.

✨Happy Halloween!✨

2 - 26 Institutionalized Murder

A second season begins!

I guess it was longer than I thought between now and when I posted the MOTLE premiere

WAAAAAAA BABAY BERYL

let's get into it!

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

Both Logico and Irratino have no choice but to take long, boring flights back home. They’re so exhausted… but when Goat Lord finally sees Logico, in person, slowly waddling in from a distance-

IRRATINO: [goat scream]

He runs SO fast over to Logico, and picks him up and gives him a back-breaking squeeze. 

LOGICO: [scream] IRRATINO: [unintelligible] LOGICO: OKAY, if one of us doesn’t speak a real word, we will NEVER get out of this.

Irratino plops.

IRRATINO: Logico, I have been waiting for you for SO LONG! Oh god, I’m so glad you’re alright… I couldn’t sleep for weeks! But now, you’re here again! And we can be a team again!

He kicks his feet in excitement and can’t sit still. What is Logico supposed to do with this goober??

LOGICO: Irratino… I’m very happy to see you too. I’m just… stressed. The dark secret of the Violet Isles was pure pain and suffering, just as I imagined. And I’m still shaken up. IRRATINO: Oh, Logico… 

He relaxes and motions for a hug. Logico snuggles. 

IRRATINO: You gotta stop worrying about politics. You’re free now! Enjoy the respite while it’s here. LOGICO: I can try… IRRATINO: Let’s travel around the world solving mysteries! ❤️ I have recently been introduced to some INTERESTING numerological ideas, which I would like to put into practice. Whaddaya say? 

He does the softest smile at Logico.

LOGICO: [in his head] You’re so cute! I love you so much. Even if you believe in whatever the fuck ‘numerology’ is… LOGICO: [out loud] Sure IRRATINO: YES!! Oh, and this time, we can do the theme song with LYRICS! Like- IRRATINO: 🎵MURDLE! We’re doin’ stuff, and- LOGICO: NO. STOP. I HATE THAT.

As they go to the Investigation Institute, it seems all is right with the world once more. Night and Onyx reunite with Irratino.

SEASHELL: Oh hello. LOGICO: WHAT THE FUCK? YOU HIRED SEASHELL? IRRATINO: Yeah! Hey guys, guess what Logico did!  LOGICO: I’m not a dog or a toddler. I can speak for myself. IRRATINO: He went to the Violet Isles, and it was INSANE! You gotta hear about it! NIGHT: Eh? I wasn’t listening.

Everyone’s too interested in a human body!

SEASHELL: Hehehehehe. I wonder what happens if I poke it. ONYX: My guess, nothing.

Logico does a long sigh. Seems things are back to normal. He examines the suspects, something Seashell is a little too excited about. He is snickering nonstop and couldn’t be more suspicious. 

LOGICO: The fuck are you up to? SEASHELL: Oh Deductive, you curse so much. I’m just excited for my first day. LOGICO: This is his FIRST DAY?? IRRATINO: I told him he could be hired when I got back!

Seashell is so tall, his dorsal fin brushes the overhead light, while poor Onyx is only a head taller than Logico.

ONYX: I’ve been researching this crystal ball - I think it tells me the future. LOGICO: It will tell you the future, all right, so long as your future is a crystal ball.

Night (who is remarkably average-height) creeps up behind him.

NIGHT: Have you seen my primer? LOGICO: Guhh, what do you want?  NIGHT: I thought the title was very amusing - a primer on numerology. LOGICO: … NIGHT: Like a prime number. LOGICO: Yes, I got that much. Speaking of which, Irratino, what was that weird pamphlet you wanted to show me? 

Tino is too busy scrying. He is staring deep into a candle flame, looking unhinged.

LOGICO: Um, Irratino.

Irratino takes a deep breath of the smoke and blows, and the resulting flame VAGUELY resembles a seahorse. 

IRRATINO: See? This means something to do with Dr. Seashell! LOGICO: Right. Anyway, I’ve solved the murder.

‘Twas Onyx, the unassuming little owl.

IRRATINO: WHAT?!? YOU DID A MURDER?! LOGICO: …why is this so shocking? ONYX: Yes… it was me. I wanted to research something new! IRRATINO: GOD FREAKING DAMMIT! ONYX: Oh, why didn’t I stick to my plants?

Irratino stomps around like the mature adult he is, and Logico is horribly confused. But he takes a small amount of comfort in the fact that Irratino is being dumb again, and cozies up with the fact that things are as calm as they can possibly be in the Murder Kingdom.

The end!

Irratino is the best boyfriend one could ask for

Nothing cheers Logico up from new trauma like a good old-fashioned duo murder <3

This turned out a lot longer than expected for so little happening-

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

you're at a frat party, having already had a couple of drinks when you find a cat!!!!! he's a cute furry little guy, swiping at a balled up paper towel by the stairs🥰🐈‍⬛ you're a bit tipsy when you coo and scoop him up, so the little bit of alcohol in your system is shielding you from his little claws as he tries to wiggle away akdmskdkkskf but after some pets and kisses and sweet words, he seems to understand you're no threat and settles in your arms enjoying the love you're giving him, both of you getting very comfortable on the hard stairs of this sticky, musty and loud frat house🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰 you're lost in dishing out kisses and murmurs to the kitty cat you've found that you dont realize someone's trying to get your attention until the cat starts to wiggle away towards his owner☹️☹️☹️ a very handsome guy with floppy black hair and a very smug grin on his lips as the cat brushes up against his leg🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 you frown (ignoring all the butterflies you're getting from his smug grin🥰🤭🙄) at him as he says "sorry, i didnt mean to interupt, just wanted to make sure he was alright🤭" you sigh and tell him that he was Very alright and so were you until he came over to claim his cat back🙄🤚 he snorts as he scoops up the furry guy and scoots next to you on the steps and offers you access to petting the cat again <3 normally, if some random guy you didnt know stuck himself next to you, sort of trapping you between himself and the wall, you'd get out as fast as you could, but with this guy (who tells you his name is aaron, you tell him it's a nice name, making him blush🤭) you dont get any outright reasons to not trust him so you of courseeeee pet his cat to your heart's content and soak up all of the purrs he's giving off <333 you and aaron chat a little bit and talk about uni stuff professors you two have in common and the cat of course <3 he tells you that he found him earlier that year digging around in the frat's trash cans (you're in awe that he's a part of this fraternity because you always imagined frat bros were total jerks and he's very much not hehehehe) and from there, the cat became their unofficial mascot🤭🤭🤭🤭 he definitely uses the cat as a reason to ask you out and you tease "i might take back what i said about frat guys, i cant believe you're using this cat as a wingman😔💔" you two get a good chuckle out of that and aaron's wingman runs off at the sight of a slice of pepproni falling to the floor (aaron grumbles "he acts as if we never feed him🙄🤔" and when you laugh, he looks soooooo proud of himself, silly smug grin on his lips again🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞🤭🤭🤭) a couple desperately trying to find an unoccupied room squishes past you and aaron up the stairs and when he leans over to let them by, he's pressed soooooo close to you and it makes your heart all fluttery and crazy and the alcohol you drank earlier spurs you on to lean up and kiss him💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 he pulls away and makes a silly stupid comment about giving his cat an extra serving of food tomorrow before you two kiss and kiss and kiss again <333333 EEK college!hotch and his wingman kitty🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💞💞🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[grippingbeskar]

hi bestie! Idk if I've asked this before tbh but as the author of one of if not the best frank series out there, do you have other frank fic recs?? I'd love more series but anything will do! I 100% trust your opinion on fics just based on your writing tbh

(PS can't wait for the next salt ice and fire update 🥰 )

okay i know this has been in my box for so long so i apologise but i wanted to actually take the time and curate a little list for you since you were so SWEET. thankyou so so much for your kind words like i actually treasure things like this so much, and i’m so glad you asked for recs BECAUSEEEE i have read so many frank fics it’s actually embarrassing.

now there is a stark LACK of read frank series in this rec list and that is only my fault i’m so sorry— i’m sure there’s a million out there however i don’t tend to read series as much (lmao that i’m writing one) but i will do a lil rec list of series once i’ve found some.

the fight and fuck series by @chrisevansredbelt - it’s literally so HOT and angsty and perfect holy shit. one of my favourite frank fics of all time, i’ve read the first part like 6 times i swear.

you gonna let me be good to you? by @chvoswxtch - even the TITLE like that is so frank. SO FRANK. this fic fucks me up in the best way possible.

sit around and miss you by @ohcaptains - this entire frank masterlist is fucking perfection. seriously some of the best writing i’ve read on this site, but this one in particular just hnggggggggg fucking yummy.

don’t ever leave my side, baby i’ll die by @balenciagabucky - sleepy sex w marine frank. do i have to say any more. it’s so good.

morning kiss by @itwasthereaminuteago - they have a lot of frank fics which r all PERFECTION but this one is my personal fave. you have to read to find out why heheheheh

reflection by @marvelswh0re - maybe i’m biased that this is my fave bUT again, anything by this writer RIGHT HERE is fucking genius so enjoy this whole account too

home isn’t a place by @saintmurd0ck - this was so hard to pick just one. but this author writes so beautifully like i can’t explain it. even the names of their fics are so gorgeous i die.

this poly frank x matt masterlist also by @saintmurd0ck - can’t tell u how many times i have devoured this omfg.

outdoor sex by @lovelybucky1 - HOWLING. that is all. i can’t

harlequin by @pedrito-friskito - guys this is so fucking good oh my god. also the reader in this is reading a book and as a fellow bookworm i am melting.

attagirl by @buckyhoney - you know i’m a slut for a good attagirl so like this fic right here had me ALL kinds of fucked up.

the four times frank almost asks you to marry him, and the one time he does by @amhrosina - i love this fic so much it warms my cold dead heart. frank is such an oldschool guy and the idea of him proposing is just so sweet to me like didocodkc i love this.

of fathers and daughters by @lemon-world1 - this captures franks character so well and WOWOWOW obsessed.

OKAY. that’s all i can think of at the top of my head. all these writers are fantastic and have so many other frank fics to devour i just picked my favourites from their incredible lists.

[brucequeensteen]

ethan. i chose whatever music asks you haven’t done yet.

hi kieren im kind of obsessed with u. there are a lot that i havent done but some of them i cant be bothered to answer/genuinely cannot answer or the answer is just no so here's the ones i like <3

Do you listen to more oldies or more current stuff? A mix of both but leaning more to oldies, the majority of my favourite songs and artists are either from the 60s & 70s era, or the 90s & 00s era <3 

Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into? Probably not, even if the design is cool i only wear band tshirts if i care abt the band. But if someone gave me an artist tshirt as a gift, i’d wear it AND listen to the artist it depicts 👍

Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like? I like all genres i don't discriminate. i’m bisexual 

A song or album from the 50s or earlier: this compilation album of old japanese pop 1950-1951… discovered through mash playlists

A song or album from the 60s: 1-800-are-you-experienced by jimi hendrix 1967 :) 

A song or album from the 70s: Born to run by BRUCIE 1975 raaaagghhhhhh 

A song or album from the 80s: King of rock by run-dmc 1985 💪💥

A song or album from the 90s Call the doctor by sleater-kinney 1996

A song or album from the 2000s: Cheap pop for the elite by kore. ydro., 2006

 A song or album from the 2010s: TRANSANGELIC EXODUS BY EZRA FURMAN 2018. GOAT

Do you and your partner/best friend share a special song? One you’d call “our song”? unfortunately for my boyfriend and i it is the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us by sufjan stevens which is indicative of how normal we both are 

Do you play any instruments? I’ve been “learning” the bass for about 2 years but havent made much progress but i can do basic riffs and improvise a little 

Who’s your favorite fictional band or artist? Marceline The Vampire 

When was the last time you cried when listening to a song, if ever? I couldn’t tell you the last time a song made me properly cry but i sort of cried listening to come on in yesterday because i was having a category 5 peter tork moment 

Your favorite artist from your city/state/country? At the moment its marina spanou and based on her lyrics i think she is literally from the same area of athens as me <3

A song you like in a language you don’t speak:

A song you like with lyrics in two or more languages:

songs that are symbolic of a time when i was literally and without exaggeration in the trenches. korean & english

Do you enjoy musicals? If so, what’s your favorite? Top 5: fiddler on the roof, jesus christ superstar, newsies, les miserables, hadestown.

Have you watched any musician’s biopics? Do you have a favorite? I’M NOT THERE DIRECTED BY TODD HAYNES MY NUMBER 1 ☝️ even if i am not the biggest bob dylan girl out there i fucking love that movie so much 

Do you listen to music when it's raining or do you stop to hear the sound of the rain? Im answerin this question cos i like it. If its raining really hard i take out my headphones and turn my music up so i can hear it out loud blended with the sound of the rain <3

Do you prefer live recordings or studio recordings? LIVE RECORDINGS ARE MY BEST FRIENDS. I dont know if i prefer them but theres something so comcorting and beautiful of hearing live stuff so yeah <3

Okay these were the questions i cared about. thank you i love you . heheheheh

[peachdues]

Hi Peach!

I have been trying to spend less time on Tumblr right now but I got some very bad family news and decided to treat myself to your blog and I’m really cheered up!

That teaser you posted and the fact we are getting a super emotional reunion✨second time✨ in TGW as well as a ✨first time✨ before we get to the aftermath of Tengen’s spicy lessons. Thank you for the meal

‘You’ve no idea, while I was gone I thought endlessly of you’ - I’m sorry it’s so emotional I won’t be able to take it I love him so much 😭

This may be spoiler territory (if it is tell me to shooosh) but will we see any of Giyuu’s POV thinking about reader in the infinity castle? 👀👀

AND NETHERWOOD Sanemi j*rking off and you saying we will be mad at him, reader about to leave him to go to a new village my heart is breaking, Peach you are such an awesome write - I’m still having fun trying to decipher your teaser images btw.

I was wondering between Kanae and Reader did Nemi have other girlfriends in between as he is super experienced with women

I know your inbox is sky high and even if you just see this message, I’ve seen that you’re struggling with your depression a lot recently, I hope you’re doing alright and taking time for yourself, doing what makes you happy and what helps clear your mind ❤️

-🫧🫧

(PS died when you mentioned Seelie Kyojuro as I am from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

MY BELOVED BUBBLE ANON!!

Hello my love!! I adore seeing you in my inbox, always!

I’m so sorry you’re going through a rough time right now. I really hope you’re able to take some time and get some rest and indulge in a bit of self care. I’m sending you lots of hugs, and since you’re in Scotland, some tea as well. I’m partial to crumpets so if you like them, I how you get to eat them however you like them! (I’m a slather it in butter girl myself)

As for TGW — hehehehehe I’m so glad you enjoyed the teaser!! TGW has been a lot of fun to write (even if I have to stop and research some new historical fact every two seconds). Sam said it reads more like a romance story (a smutty one ofc) and that makes me happy since that’s relatively new territory to me.

As for a Giyuu Infinity Castle POV — as of right now, I don’t have plans for one! There is a brief POV from him in a flashback from the night of his and Reader’s ✨first time✨ that will appear in Part II. The first time scene occurs during the Hashira training arc/right before infinity castle begins, so you will see a certain sun breather trying to get Giyuu to train with him as he makes his way toward the shrine to see his girl and pop her cherry

As for Netherwood…

😈😈😈

I will say, I know I have y’all stressed but many of you all commented on the strength of Sanemi and Reader’s love in Part III — just remember that! And remember how hard they both fought to get back to one another. That matters!

Regarding whether Sanemi had any “girlfriends” between Kanae and Reader — I’m not so sure he did. One, because he was pretty isolated in the Wood at his cabin, guiding strangers. Two, I think his “experience” is probably less than you’re thinking — he might not have been a virgin but he also wasn’t a sex god by any means. Reader has no experience prior to Sanemi, so I imagine she’s a bit biased when it comes to him — it probably seems like he’s much more experienced than she is by comparison. I think he knows enough about the mechanics and then just goes by pure instinct.

I’ve joked with a couple of mutuals that were she to talk to Kotoha she’d probably be like “what do you MEAN it’s not normal for your partner to have a knot?? How else does he keep all that cum insane??”

Thank you for the kind message, my friend!! I love when you all pop in and ask questions about the fics or even share your reactions. It truly makes my day. And thank you for checking in! Depression has been a bitch lately but I’m focusing on trying to make it MY bitch.

Please take care of yourself! I’m sending love and light your way.

PS — my head refers to you as my “Bublé” anon — like Michael Bublé.

🤍🤍🤍

The Crash- B.B Part 4

I finally bestow upon you an update.

This took me awhile to figure out how I was going to write this continuing from part 3

You can find parts 1-3 HERE

Hopefully this turns out well.

Warnings: Goose being a good dad, Mav being a terrible father, really emotional reunions, A CONFESSION OF FEELINGS FROM SOMEONE?? WHAT?! (hehehehehe), Tenseness (i think that’s the word to use) between Rooster and MC, and as usual….cursing.

Enjoy my friends!!

Taglist: @fandom-life-12 @hotch-meeeeeuppppp

My foot tapped against the ground as I sat in the restaurant waiting by myself. Nat said they’d be here at 1 but it’s now 1:15. I was getting worried that they wouldn’t show or I had gotten the wrong time. The waiter had come up to offer me water 10 minutes ago and I felt awkward sitting alone.

I hadn’t seen Natasha or Bob since the day of the mission. Being my two best friends, I was anxious to see them again. What would they say? How would they react? What do they all know?

Just then I catch the reflection of the sun in Bob’s glasses, signaling they had arrived. 20 minutes late at that.

Natasha immediately ran over, making me jump from my chair to hug her. “Oh my god you are real.” Her voice was teary, yet full of joy. “Oh how you’ve changed. Look at you! Hangman has to be so happy you’re back.”

“About that-“

“About what?” Her eyes narrowed into a glare. “You guys are still together right?”

I grimaced, “No, I broke up with him. He expected everything to be fine when he saw I was alive but he let them bury an empty casket, you all did. I can forgive some but not all of you.”

“What about me?” Bob’s small voice appeared over Nat’s shoulder.

“Oh, sweet Bob!” I went in to hug him and noticed his eyes were red and puffy. He’d already been crying. Maybe that’s what causes the delayed arrival? “I missed you!” When I backed out of his arms I rubbed his shoulder, almost as a comfort to his tear stricken eyes.

“I missed you so much.” He smiled at me as he looked at Nat.

Lunch went smoothly, I caught them both up on everything that had happened, including Goose being alive, who Goose was, how Bradley and I are doing and all the inbetween.

“Wait, so you’re telling me your uncle who died back in the 80’s is still alive and has been living on his own hidden in the woods? That’s badass.” Nat was the one who was responding the most to my questions. Bob seemed quieter than normal. Usually when the three of us were together he’d open up and become more vocal, engaging in conversation.

“Yeah, and he took me with him to find you guys. We traveled for a year across the world to get back here. It was crazy but he’s become like a father to me.”

“What about Bradley now that you’re living with him?” I saw Bob tense up at this question, pushing his glasses up and clearing his throat.

“Well, I try to avoid him at all costs. Still as annoying as ever.”

Natasha shook her head. “That’s a shame really. I’ve always hoped you guys would get along.” Bob nudged Nat and she shot him a look.

“Anyways-“ just then the waiter brought the bill, “it’s been crazy trying to adjust. Between living with Goose and Bradley, Hangman and my dad trying to call and text me 24/7 and being back here; it’s been a roller coaster.”

Natasha quickly snagged the check and paid for all of us, despite Bob and I’s complaints. “Thank you for lunch Nat.” Bob’s first words since we hugged. His voice sounded almost unfamiliar when he spoke.

“Our best friend is back, of course I had to buy.” She shot me a smile. “We should get going though- oh hold on I gotta take this.” Her phone rang as she stepped out, leaving Bob and I alone.

“Are you really not living with your dad?”

Bobs question hung in the air for a second. It took me a moment to register that he was talking to me. “Uh, yeah. I’m really living with Goose. He’s been so generous with letting me stay with him until I’m ready to face my dad. You should meet him.”

Natasha came back in with a sad look. “Hey I got called in to work. Is there anyway you could take Bob home?” She looked at me apologetically.

“Absolutely it’s no problem at all. Come on Bob, let’s go.”

In the car, Bob was pretty silent until we turned onto his street. “Actually,” he spoke up, making me jump slightly, “sorry, I was wondering if we could go to yours? I actually do want to meet Goose.”

“That’s no problem, I’m glad. I could use some more Bob time.”

I turned around in a driveway and headed to the direction of the house Goose was letting me stay in. Pulling into the driveway, I could tell both men were home. “This is it.”

Bob and I got out and walked to the front door, and in perfect dad-like fashion, Goose opened the door before we could. “Who’s this?”

“Goose, this is Bob. We’ve flown together before. He was in the Uranium Mission.” Bob gave a small wave.

“It’s wonderful to meet you sir! She’s told me a lot about you!” His hand shot out for a handshake, but Goose’s face was stern. Bob started to back down until Goose’s mouth curved into a smile and rapidly shook Bob’s hand.

“I’m just teasing ya kid, it’s good to finally meet ya!” Bob let out a small laugh before following me in and up the stairs to my room.

“Your room is huge. My duplex on base is the size of this.”

I laughed in response, “I just got lucky that Goose claimed Brad and I. I’m not sure how that all worked considering we aren’t dependents, but somehow he scored this beautiful house. Oh! And look at my view!!” I walked to my far wall and opened the curtains to reveal a perfect view of the beach. The afternoon sun quickly warmed my room as if shone in through the panes.

“Woah, that’s gorgeous. Do you sit here and just stare?”

“I do, often. I missed it here Bob, this is my home. I grew up here. Plus, people watching is kind of fun when you can see so perfectly.” I laughed a little before turning to Bob. He seemed out of it, staring at me in a daze. “Bob, you okay-“

Before I could finish, Bob leaned in and kissed me. It was the most awkward kiss ever, but it caused my cheeks to rouge. “Bob?”

“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have listened to Natasha! She told me to just go for it and I told her I couldn’t because you’re still new to being back and I didn’t want to scare you or ruin our friendship. Im so sorry. I don’t know how to do all these feelings and emotions, Im just-“

“Bob.”

“I can’t apologize enough, I asked her for advice about this and I should’ve known what she’d say-“

“Bob!” His attention finally snapped to me and he was about to mutter an apology when I spoke up. “Don’t apologize. It was cute. You’re sweet Bob, I just don’t know if Im ready for something.” He looked down at his shoes. “But, a little word of advice. Usually going in for a random kiss isn’t the way to ask a lady out.”

He took a deep breath and looked back up at me. “Would you like to go on a date with me? No weird kissing this time.”

I smiled as I let out a laugh. “I would enjoy that.”

His shoulders dropped at my answer. “We can go as slow as you want- not like that! I mean, like you and I together, or- I mean-“

“I know what you mean Bob, it’s fine.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at it all. Bob was always a bit nervous around people, even those he was comfortable with. I reached out for his hand and held it, looking up at him. “I already said yes, you don’t have to say anything else.” His other hand grabbed mine, both of our hands intertwined when Bradley busted through the door.

“Hey Y/N- Bob? What’s going on- never mind I don’t want to know.”

“What do you want Bradshaw?” Bob jumped at my sudden change in tone.

“I was gonna ask if you wanted anything, I’m going out to pick up McDonalds for dad and I. I guess that goes for you too Bob.”

“Why are you being so nice?” I didn’t say it with malice but pure curiosity.

“He told me to come ask you.”

“Figures, I’m okay, we just came back from lunch but thanks Brad.” He smiled and nodded before leaving Bob and I laughing.

After I had driven Bob home, I had found myself on the back porch. Not doing anything in particular, just watching the sun go down. I heard the back patio door open and I turned around to find Goose coming to sit next to me. “Hey kid, whatcha doing?”

“Just watching the sunset. What brings you out here?” It was then I noticed he had a paper bag in his hand.

“I had Bradley run out again to get you dinner. I hope it’s okay.” I smiled as I opened the bag to see McDonalds chicken nuggets.

“Thanks Goose. I didn’t even realize I hadn’t eaten dinner.” He took them out as I started to pop them in my mouth one by one. “Hey, thanks again for everything. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for you. You’re everything to me right now. You’ve done so much for me, more than my own father.”

“Y/N, I remember when your dad called me and said you were coming out early. The way Carol and I rushed to that emergency room should’ve been illegal.” He laughed. “I would do anything for you as if you were my own. It’s what your dad did for Brad, so I feel like I have to not only return the favor, but you’ve grown on me kid. You and I faces the world together, literally.”

“I appreciate you, I love ya Goose.” I leaned into his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me for a side hug.

“I’m always here kiddo, just say the word.”

We stayed there for a moment, basking in the present. We had went from near death in the middle of enemy territory to now living back home. We were a team, and I was so thankful for him. He was the reason I made it back home, but mostly the reason I was alive.

Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to see the San Diego sunsets or bask in the warm salt water of California. I wouldn’t have been able to see my friends again or have Penny serve me up a drink at the Hard Deck.

I owe him everything.

That night, I was in my room getting ready for bed when a knock came upon my door. “Come in!” What I was not expecting was Bradley to not only come through the door, but close it and lock it behind him. “What are you doing?”

“What was that with Bob earlier?”

“None of your business.” I continued what I was doing, hoping he’d just go away if I ignored him.

He persisted. “Tell me. Are you and Bob together?”

“Again Brad, it’s none of your business.” I rolled my eyes as I turned around to go lay down.

“I’m gonna ask you one more time, what was that?” As I turned around, Bradley was face to face with me, the wall mere inches behind me. He had closed me in again.

“I should really be asking you what happened in the kitchen 2 days ago. What was th-“

In a blink of an eye, one of his hands was next to my head on the wall, the other wrapped around my throat. “Did he kiss you?”

“What?!”

“I said, did he kiss you?”

“That’s none of your-!”

“Answer the question, yes or no?”

Whatever was happening was very unlike Bradley. He was scaring me to be honest, but part of me couldn’t help but to let my eyes go down his face to his lips. I don’t know what was coming over me.

“He did but I’m not sure what that has to do with any-“

“Don’t let it happen again.”

With that he was off of me and out the door before I could even say anything more about the subject.

If I wasn’t confused in the kitchen, I am confused now.

What was up with him?

A Decidedly Unserious Review of Hair 2001 (ft. Drew Sarich)

I’m back for another lunatic review. This time: the 2001 recording of Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. This is so silly. I literally decided to do this like two hours ago because @peppi-mint wanted to hear my thoughts on it. Well, peppi, prepare to get an earful because I had some THOUGHTS

(I’m so sorry)

Aquarius- um. This is literally so cool. The hip-hop beat sets the tone, which is vastly different from every Hair recording I’ve heard. And then the violins come in and it’s like YOOOOO. And then the broadway singing comes in and it’s like YOOOOOOOOOOO! And then the dissonant harmonies hit and it’s like YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I really like this. Very different and fresh and new and Y2K in the best way. I can’t stress how fucking amazing those harmonies sound.

Donna- Ok, Drew!! Give us that punk-rock energy! The electric guitar sound is really neat, and I kinda dig the reverb as well as the way Sarich sings most of the lines straight intentionally. Whereas the harmonies were highlighted in the last song, they act more as a part of the orchestra in this song, but it still feels full and tasteful. Really enjoying this so far.

Hashish- I’ve literally always skipped “Hashish.” It’s boring to me. I’m a sober loser. But THIS?! What are they doing to my boring hashish!! The instrumentation is so experimental and interesting to listen to. I like that the cast isn’t going over the top with the vocals, too. They’re supposed to be high, so going full belt and vibrato isn’t really the vibe.

Sodomy- I’m literally Debbie Reynolds-ing right now. This guy’s voice has me biting my lip for real. Catch me joining the Holy Orgy ™ any day of the week.

Colored Spade- This production is obviously informed heavily by black music. Which makes this song slightly more comfortable to listen to. I can’t really speak on it though- I’m white. All I can say is: it’s a bop. Also, the second half?? So fucking groovy. Yes I’m using that word unironically. It’s a good word.

Manchester England- Stripped down acoustic guitar… mkay I can get with that. Makes the full orchestration pop out more. Loving these glam rock vocals from Kyrre Kvam.

I’m Black- It was literally 22 seconds long and sounded like a car commercial with that fade in and fade out I’m lmao 😭Where’s my Ain’t Got No?!?!?!?

Dead End- Ok so I rarely hear this one in any recorded productions. I’ve only ever really heard it in college production bootlegs I watch on Youtube. This version has me saying WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT?!? It’s seriously so good. 

Air- The vocal affectation that Jeannie usually has tends to annoy me, which I guess is intentional, but I’m glad it’s more toned down here. The industrial sound of the instruments clashes with the light and breezy vocals in a really fascinating way. It’s like a big burly man wearing a flowery perfume. Thumbs up from me. 

I Got Life- Teehee if you take out your left earbud you get an a capella intro 🤭Anyway, I always love this song. This version is no exception. Treat Williams is still top, tho (Rest in Peace, King). 

Hair- The titular bitchular! (-Athena P on YT). Something about the way the sound is split between each ear in the intro (vocals in one ear, guitar in the other) is ticking me off. That’s just me, though. Overall, this sounds so fucking good and it’s such a vibe. I’m not sure if it’s Kvam or Sarich who hits those high notes but they hit, man.

My Conviction- Hehehehehe this sounds so out of place I love it. (It’s supposed to- just like Herod’s song in JCS)! Also how are these vocals from a man?? They aren’t my favorite but they sound soooo much like a woman that’s crazy. Anyway gender is fake

Easy To Be Hard- Um. Can we say elegant? Can we say… mystical? GORGINA?!? BRO when the,,, fuck what is it, a marimba or some shit comes in with that overarching angelic tone- fuuuuuucccckkkkk. So good. Also the shaker keeping the beat tastes good. I can taste this song. It tastes like a capri-sun on a hot day. I’m in love. Hold up- added verse? Why haven’t I heard this-

Frank Mills- Awwwwww this is cute. I like this woman’s voice. Very smooth and nice to listen to. What I’m noticing so far about this album is that they treat each song like it’s its own person, you know? Like- every tune sounds coherent and like it belongs, but it also sounds like its own thing with its own special instrumentation. It’s just. So neat.

Be In - Hare Krishna- The speaker shifting got me like 🫠so good. It’s like ASMR. Another thing I’m noticing about the ensemble vocals is that they’re so… earnest? They aren’t worn like clothing, they’re like a part of the individual. ... Any arrangement that can make me describe music like this deserves the world.

Where Do I Go- Fuck. I just love arrangements that do something new. This sound is so clean and genuine and beautiful. If I could insert John Savage’s vocals into this it would be perfect (No shade to Kvam- I just love the movie version of this song so much). This is probably my favorite song from the musical (I literally wrote a 30k+ word fanfiction based on its lyrics), and I’m sooooo utterly pleased with this interpretation of it. All I’ll say is that the end could’ve been a bit louder/more intense- it is an Act I closer, after all. More drums, please!

Electric Blues- TELL ME WHOOOOOO DO YOU LOVE MAN! *guitar* Ermmm I love Electric Blues I love it. I wanna inject this song into my bloodstream. This version doesn’t stray too much from the original, and it slaps. Always does. Also I just realized this came out before the Broadway revival. I wonder if the revival folks took a bit of inspo from this version 🤔

Black Boys- ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS (I love the staccato guitar chords, offbeat, percussion, tonal shift during the solo represented by the instrumentation, and just everything else about this).

White Boys- My eyes literally rolled to the back of my skull during that intro. So good!! So tasty! Also these VOCALS! Less energy than the others I’ve heard, but that’s not a criticism. It’s more reminiscent of the original cast recording. Once again, ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS. 🍽️

Walking in Space- dodo do do dodo dooooooo. (guitar). Again, the vocalists aren’t overdoing it, which is working. I’ll probably smoke marijuana to this song at some point. Looking forward to it. Also when she sang “ 🎶floooooooaaating, flipping, flyyyyyying, tripping 🎶” I was like 😶‍🌫️(that’s me floating flipping flying tripping). . I want to consume these vocals

The War- Don’t think I’ve heard this one in any other production? It definitely fits the vibe they’re going for. I’d love to know the context for it. Eh, actually, I think I can guess...

Three-Five-Zero-Zero- Listening to this is making me realize how important the bass guitar is as an instrument. Songs would sound so much less full without its constant, droning presence. Also, I would’ve loved to see them lean even further into the experimental vibe for this one so that the tonal shift would sound more stark. Regardless, it all sounds really good. Love the harmonies, especially at the end.

Good Morning Starshine- I have a poster of these three words in my room. Also, I like this version of the song. Very 2001. Kinda reminds me of that song “Walking on Sunshine,” similar vibes. Not my favorite version, but still a bop and very fun. 

The Flesh Failures/Eyes Look Your Last- Guitar is so yummy. I don’t like the chorus singing the first part. I’m just too used to it being a soloist or Claude. Also, it feels kinda too fast? Sorry, I have ridiculously high standards for this song. I think it’s one of the best songs ever written. Given that fact, it’s hard to fuck it up. So, this sounds really good still, obviously. Just didn’t hit quite as hard for me. I feel like they tried so hard to make every other song sound unique and they dropped the ball a bit here. It sounds like they’re trying to just get it over with… which is very contradictory to the song’s message. Also, why isn’t “Let the Sunshine In” a part of the title? Seems kinda important 😬

Hippie Life- …huh?

Aquarius (Bonustrack) - director’s cut- It’s the remix 😎

Overall, I was really impressed by this album. I’m glad I took a listen. It seems like a very approachable version of the controversial musical. I think it’d be a good album to show friends that aren’t into musicals but should still get to enjoy Hair. Some choices weren’t my style, but I’m genuinely so astounded and excited by others. Act I was better than Act II. Drew Sarich was great, and so was the rest of the cast. Ultimately, a very cool take on one of my favorite musicals of all time. Thanks again to @peppi-mint for recommending this to me- I’m so happy I got to do another silly little stream-of-consciousness musical review!

SO MUCH MAGIC!! i love it its so cool i wish i had access to mumbo's library just so i could learn more AHHHHHHH

grian using glyphs to fight is gonna be so cool!! there was a point in time where i was super obsessed with the moral instruments book series by cassandra clare (if you know it) and it made me fall in LOVE with the concept of magical symbols, so this is extremely exciting EEEEEEEE

also SCAR'S MAGIC! we got an explanation of what he used to kill those hunters in the last one that's so COOL

“Taurtis could still be alive.”

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT I KNEW IT my boy's coming back I JUST KNOW IT EEEEEEE

oh god unless he turned evil or something. or scott finds him and uses him somehow. what if grian has to kill him. oh goodness.

NAHHHHHH IM SURE EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE:D

“You chose to do something kind with it,” he says, “twice, if you count just now. You guys really focus too much on the black and white.”

THIS!!!! grian i love you so much omg HES SO RIGHT!! kinda.. i mean.... scar's kinda stabbing him and mumbo in the back..... but he still has a point!!! people tend to compartmentalize things into bad and good way too easily, but nothing's ever that simple! the boys need to give themselves some credit

“Not that I’d complain, Mumbo’s a lovely companion to eat with.” He smiles charmingly at the vampire, who seems to flush under Scar’s sudden gaze.

theyre so cute i love them

(None of them knew that this would be the last happy moment they would have for a long while.)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?????? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? NUH UH!! NUH UH!!!!! THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY THEY LIVED HAPPY EVER AFTER THE END!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN😭😭😭😭😭😭

“Scar speaking! How can I help you, Scott?” 

you can help by HANGING UP THE PHONE AND PICKING UP TUBBO AND GRIAN AND MUMBO AND PEARL AND BOOKING IT TO THE NEAREST REDSTONE BACKWARDS-FLYING JET TO FUCKALL, ANTARCTICA SO SCOTT CANT FIND YOU

im so scared. it feels like something big's coming and it'll be terrible for our boys.

EHEHEHEHE TYYYYY :D

I’m excited about grian using glyphs and getting his hands on a Real form of magic that he can use and MMMMMM. I do know of that series though! I very much enjoy the concept of magic symbols

and SCAR’S MAGIC AUGHHHH. I’ve been holding onto that for months. I’m really excited to have finally written it out in a fic !!!! I love the reaper’s eye concept soso much, and it’s a perfect way to say that taurtis is still alive :3c

I really love grian being almost like. “the voice of reason” when scar and mumbo lean too much into monster vs human. because it’s more nuanced than that. people are more complex than that

as for everything else…. hehehehehe :)

I’m sure it’ll all be fine
