#The fact they wrote ‘sexy baby’ each time they drew this fit and didn’t think to make it not say… something so stupid is so funny to me 😂

I WROTE A FAN FIC

It’s on AO3 but if you don’t go there, here is the first chapter. There are mentions of underage drinking and hook-up culture.

As a teaser:

What happens when stylish queer misfit Catra has to work on a group project with Varsity captain Adora? Catra has a thing for jocks, Adora has a thing for girls who don't give a damn. They can't stand to be around - or away - from each other.

Again, you can find it HERE.

UNDERNEATH YOUR MASK, UNDERNEATH YOUR  CLOTHES.

CHAPTER 1.

NOW.

---

How she got here, she really couldn’t recall.

Well, that was bullshit, she remembered everything in perfect detail - all that aggravated pent up energy needed an outlet. But why she got here, pushed up against a wall with this dumb boy’s hand moving down her back, tongue on her neck, suddenly felt impossible to recollect. Jesus, I don’t even like dudes. Pretend it’s a girl, pretend it’s a girl, pretend it’s Adora--- oh shit WHAT?

Wait...she did not just have that thought. Oh god. She promised herself no more Adora fantasies - that was a commitment she managed to break since the second she made it.

Catra groaned inwardly as Jerry - no, Jared? Jasper? Ugh what is this quarterback’s name?! - started to grind his hips into her’s. Yup, she was gonna end this bullshit now. She could feel the wall pulse with the beat from speakers on the other side of the wall.  His kissing rhythm was totally off, that’s for sure. Catra was growing increasingly angry with the situation, which she obviously created out of her own self destructive impulses. The air in the room was muggy, her thin tank top was sicky, she was angrily drunk, and suddenly regretted her plan to slink off from Scorpia and Lonnie to find a random guy to use as an adrenalin rush. It seemed thrilling a mere 5 minutes ago when she lead him into the closet and threw him against the wall by the collar of his bomber jacket.

Now? Ugh. The high faded and all she had muscular man-baby getting a hard-on while pawing her ass. Dammit. Why did I do this? It wasn’t like she needed further proof she wasn’t into guys.

He pressed his whole body up against hers. Time was up. Fuck this, I didn’t sneak out of the house for a clumsy gropy hook up. Especially not with some cis-bro jock.

“Off. Now.” Catra shoved his body, and he stumbled drunkenly backward, almost tripping over a crate on the floor. She relished the rush of power she felt.

“Huh?! What the - ” Jasper gaped, his dazed eyes widening with anger.  

“Bye Jared, have a nice time jerking off.” Catra said smoothly as she sauntered out the door.

“- fucking TEASE! ” she heard Jerry bellow. She smirked as she looked over the sea of sweating bodies, bumping and grinding across the massive basement.

As Catra wound her way through the girating crowd, she could feel the stares tracing over her body. Her eyes flashed dangerously but she smiled inwardly - it wasn’t everyday that she busted out the tight leather pants, and without fail, they drew in the attention of any onlooker with a libido. It filled her with a delicious sense of power. If only the feeling lasted, she thought ruefully.

As she passed by the boys JV soccer team she could practically hear their thoughts - in fact  a few of them absentmindedly readjusted. Ew. She threw a salacious wink at the head cheerleader who was having a hard time taking her eyes off Catra’s chest, and the girl immediately blushed and (unsuccessfully) turned her attention back on her oblivious boyfriend, eyes still half on Catra. Heh. She blew a kiss as a final touch. Catra smirked at she shoved through the sweaty bodies and finally caught site of Scorpia’s white bleached hair.

“CATRA, tell me that I did not just see you drag some bro into that broom closet!” Lonnie cackled.

“Ugh...shut up dumb dyke.” Catra grumbled back. Lonnie only laughed harder.

“Like you’re one to talk!!”  Lonnie guffawed, slapping her knee. Catra mumbled in agreement. Whatever.

"Catra, you don't need to be homophobic," Scorpia looked at her earnestly, "Lonnie, are you okay?" She fixed Lonnie with her most nurturing look, and tenderly touched her shoulder.

Catra facepalmed. Lonnie was doubled over with laughter and crying.

"Scorpia," Catra said through gritted teeth "It was a term of endearment. Because, ya know, we're all a bunch of homos."

Well, the ‘bro experiment’ impulse had flared quickly and died faster, so the night was young and there was plenty of room for more mistakes. Catra was feeling rather reckless and antsy this evening. Things at home had been even worse lately, her mom was outright belligerent the past few days and -oh right - the house nearly came apart at the seams. Catra missed the entire last week of school because of Weaver’s antics, and she was looking for all the distractions she could get her hands on. She was grateful that she had Scorpia and Lonnie here to have her back, that they had sacrificed their Saturday nights to come to a party they would usually avoid at all costs. At least they could dip if nothing else happened. Catra could already feel the alcohol wearing off, her mood slowly descending into the usual pit of gloom.

She sighed, and fanned herself with her hand, looking around the poorly lit room for something (or someone?) to do, when she locked eyes with none other than Adora Gray.

Those piercing bright blue eyes she had come to admire over the past month. Yup, there was Adora, statuesque as ever. She was like a beacon - a big, sexy beacon - in this dark, musky room. Her hair glowed in the dim light. Her tight white t-shirt with red stripes on the sleeves showed off her ripped arms and broad shoulders. Sweat glistened on her brow. She was wearing fit black pants and high, chunky red sneakers with white stripes. Catra’s mouth went dry.

Tonight Adora looked tastier than usual, if that was even possible. Catra thought back to just last Friday - the last time she saw Adora was when she was hoisted on the shoulders of her teammates; when she had thrown that cocky wink right in Catra’s open-mouthed stare. Oh right, and she flexed her muscles at Catra. That was an unforgettable moment. Catra flushed thinking about it. It felt like a freakin' month ago.

Catra watched Adora drag her eyes over tonight's outfit. Her eyebrows twitched. Fuck yeah, it was a good night for the leather pants. She wished she picked a better shirt, but this one did a fine job to show off her chest. Cut just low enough for a double take. Adora visibly gulped when Catra gave her a wry smile.

Adora was still staring, and it felt like her eyes were burning holes in Catra’s face, it was starting to get a little uncomfortable. Catra was already sweating in the skin-tight leather and combat boots, and her tight red tank top was almost soaked with sweat. Adora also looked almost hungry, no...angry?

Yes, angry.

Wait, Adora was really looking at her, right? Or was it a trick of the light.

Catra felt a sense of dread building. They really didn’t know each other well, but Catra was gradually admitting that she actually might care about what Adora thought of her. Like, a lot.

Why so angry?

Catra started to wonder how long Adora had been watching her….

Hii Shelly! Been reading your blog and it's extremely informative, so thank you for that! Anyways, i was really wondering what are your favourite songs from MFS! Thank you!

Hi there!!! 😁✌️

Hmm ….. that’s an interesting question 🤔. OK, my list changes with times I must say. There was a time when I used to listen to the album 虚言NEUROSE everyday during my daily commute to work as I liked ZERO Gravity and ROOM very much. I used to like What’s My Name? from BONEDS split album a lot too. Apart from the 1st song in the following list which is a crucial song to me, the rest are songs that I’ve noticed I tend to repeat every time I listen to them nowadays.

WARNING: I will be mentioning Taka and OOR a lot here. Read on to understand why.

1. 最終回STORY [Saishuukai STORY]

This is the most important MFS song for me because THIS is the song through which they stole my heart at the height of my “love affair” with OOR back in 2013. The one that turned me into an MFS fan. Don’t get me wrong, I still am an OOR fan. It’s just that I was also looking for something else I wasn’t getting from them. A certain kind of aggressiveness. Not necessarily had to be appealing to the commercial mass market. Something more metal yet still melodic and accessible. I was in love with the song March of Mephisto by Kamelot at the time and I wanted something that leaned more towards that. Then, I heard 最終回STORY. BAM! I found what I was looking for 😍! Different from OOR. Played it on repeat that night and it became the most played song on my phone quickly. I love everything about it and the MV, which somewhat hides the band members’ faces, is just right for it. It makes us focus on the amazing music and not their pretty faces. 

* Though I feel Hiro somewhat ruined it when he swang his mic at one point in the MV (one short second of a movement that his Onii-chan is famous for is enough to tarnish Hiro’s image for life 😖), but overall especially the angles that the video was shot, more than makes up for that “oops …” moment 😊.

2. 終焉レクイエム [Shuuen Requiem]

I do love string sections anywhere and the orchestral arrangement intensifies the song’s melancholic melody. Furthermore, I like how musically, this one leans more towards the work of older rock artists from HYDE’s generation than the younger OOR kind of crowds. It reminds me a lot of my favourite song Gekoukka by Janne da Arc from the anime Dr. Black Jack.

While I understand Hiro’s intention with BLACK RAIL, this one has a lot more depth and is far more revealing of his feelings about being cyber-bullied by some of his brother’s fans. I talked a lot more about it here.

3. 君のいない夜を越えて [Kimi no Inai Yoru o Koete]

Part of Sho’s musical works for Ochanomizu Rock. Musically, it’s safe and sweet.While it wasn’t love at first listen to me but thanks to the drama series, I got drawn more and more towards it. Upon finding out that Hiro cleverly inserted a lyric line that clearly mentions “my first story” which also seems to answer why he and big bro Taka appear detached in public, the song then totally etched itself on my heart. I wrote what I thought about that “hidden” message here. Despite the crazy accusations about him hating Taka, Hiro once again wants us to decipher all the clues he left here and there indicating how he carries his big brother in his heart very much ❤️.

4. FAKE

Surprised to see this one? This one is in a league of its own to me. I wrote my thoughts on it back in 2015 here. OK, this one represents the time when I was adjusting to the fact that Hiro was no longer a boy when I first saw the trailer. How he had blossomed into a man. I remember that day very well. My hands felt cold and my heartbeat was racing, telling myself, “He’s not a baby anymore. Accept it,” 😮. 

Just look at how he flirted with the viewers through the camera lens 😍.

He ended it with alternate wink of one eye! Oh my kokoro ❤️❤️❤️

The song also has a different and sexier groove that sets itself apart from other MFS songs. Listen to those crunchy rhythm guitars 😙!! My favourite part is when they put Hiro’s voice through that “groveling” vocal effect about 1 min into the song. Come on, how can I not find that sexy 😉? You don’t often get to hear Hiro sounding masculine, thanks to his high-pitched natural voice. So, this is where the right voice effect works very well to enhance the man side of him. I also love how schizophrenic the song arrangement is. How it twists to different turns one after another. Weird but good weird 😉. Whether you like the song or not, you have to admit that this song is only one of its kind in their repertoire as they have never made another song that sounds like FAKE again.

* Some fans compared the chorus to OOR’s Never Let It Go but still the overall feels of both songs are worlds apart. The former is an arena rock anthem with a soaring chorus. The latter is just weird but a deliciously sexy groovy kind of weird.

5. The Puzzle

The song that didn’t impress me AT ALL during the trailer. Then they released the video on STORYTELLER in full. Wow! Suddenly I knew how to appreciate it. You can feel the raw feelings and vulnerability they exuded with that video. The video was recorded at their 1st public performance after the lineup change. It was a period of MAJOR adjustment especially for the 3 youngest members Hiro, Teru and Kid’z. Hiro trying to hold back his tears mid-song, Teru still playing under Sho’s shadow and Kid’z (who was still worrying about fans’acceptance) doing his best to prove his worth by elevating the song through his own style of drumming. I almost feel like Kid’z was making his drum beats “sing” with Hiro at certain parts.

* For those just joining STORYTELLER Club, you can watch The Puzzle MV only after being a member for 90 days. Be patient, OK? It’s worth waiting to see Hiro’s raw pain when he sang the line “boku dake / only me”.

6. BOOM

I love heavy sounding bass lines which this song has in abundance. TQ Nob for your awesome work! What a pity it was not made into an MV. To me, this song is a missed opportunity for MFS to show the world especially the skeptics that they really do play a different kind of music from big brother band OOR. Where the big bro is more Good Charlotte & Yellowcard, this one has Limp Bizkit running through its veins. Different leagues. Fred Durst would be proud 😉

7. 悪戯フィクション [Itazura FICTION]

It’s dark and lyrically intense!  I wrote about what I think the lyrics are about here, here and here. Also, why I think it inspired the lyrics to LET IT DIE here. Then how to not fall head over heel over that drumming ❤️? Turned out it was the most challenging arrangement to Kid’z from that album and the one he worked the hardest on to get it right. Hmm …. does that mean I can now trust my ears to detect quality work? Hehe 😁. That sounds like bragging but, from the start, the drumming had been the part that drew me to this song 😊. A song meant to be performed in large halls/arenas.

8. 不可逆リプレース [Fukagyaku REPLACE] acoustic version

The reason? My mind likes to imagine Taka singing with Hiro on this version. Somehow I think the gentler music arrangement fits to bring the two brothers’ voices together onstage. Imagine them singing the lines “… I will follow you … follow you ….“ and “keep you close to me …. close to me ….” to each other. But, I want to see them both together onstage NOT because I think it would be an explosive collaboration. Instead, I want to see the “tears fest” that would happen on that stage. My mind also likes to make a bet who from each band would cry first watching them. My bet ….. from MFS, it’s a toss between Nob and Teru. Then from OOR, it’s Ryota. Am I sadistic or what 😮? Wanting a song to be performed just to see people cry 😄? 

9. REVIVER

I love how somewhat 80′s rock and old school this song is. I talked about that in this post. Even the MV’s aspect ratio is old school! Teruki shines here 😊. Proudly wearing an Ozzy Osbourne T-shirt. Basically declaring where his musical influences came from. OK. I don’t need to repeat REVIVER because they actually made TWO equally excellent versions of it and now they added the orchestral version too. Aah …. MFS loves me 😍!

Of course, like the rest of you, I love ALONE, LET IT DIE, Missing You etc. Special mention for AWAKE which I call “the song Hiro has never screwed up Live”. An older song Warning always makes me happy too. Another special mention is If I Am which everyone else seems to find lame but I, on the other hand, think that it has an epic acoustic potential LOL. Did you all see how dead and quiet the crowd was when they performed this song in the ITSUWARI NEUROSE Tour Final DVD 😂? Yeah, I think the guys need to revive the song with a different arrangement.

Sorry this got too long 😮
