KTAW Day #1: Culture
Tumblr media
Holi: Festival of Colors, Love and Spring
"How do we wake her up?" Kiara faintly hears Raelyn muttering.
"Just gently nudge her arm, but hurry my love, this breakfast tray is quite heavy." Hana's voice sounds somewhere in the cloud of light sleep Kiara was drifting in. Then suddenly Kiara was being wildly shaken.
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey...well not really, but malpuas didn't rhyme so..." Raelyn-
"Gently, Rae, gently!" Hana admonishes Raelyn and then looks at Kiara who is sitting up disheveled and disoriented.
"Sorry Kiara, I think they're excited for our first color festival." Hana says apologetically.
"We brought you breakfast!" Raelyn sings as Hana sits the tray in Kiara's lap.
"Oh my...this is so sweet!" Kiara says touched by her best friends surprising her with breakfast in bed.
"Literally so sweet, I've had a stack of rainbow waffles and I'm about to bounce off the walls." Kiara laughs at Raelyn before beginning to nibble on her sweet breakfast.
"We'll let you eat in peace, Kiara, meet us downstairs when you're ready?" Hana says while swatting at Raelyn's hand who was trying to steal an idli (a savory rice cake) from Kiara's plate.
"I will." Kiara says smiling at the couple's antics and admiring the view outside of her window as they shut the door behind them.
An hour later, Kiara came down into the main living room at the small villa in Mathura, the Valtoria duchesses had rented for the weekend. The rest of the friend group had prior obligations and weren't able to attend but miraculously, Kiara was in-between social events and with a little pleading from Hana, Kiara joined the couple for their first Holi festival.
Kiara knew about Holi and what it stood for. A celebration of the end of winter and the beginning of spring, a celebration of love, and an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships and end conflicts. But knowing the indept cultural and historical aspects of the Hindu traditions, didn't mean Kiara had ever participated and looking at the couple in matching white and pink flower saree and kurta, Kiara felt awkward and out of place in her black dress.

Hana's saree and Raelyn's white kurta and trousers with pink rose jacket.
The couple turns at Kiara's arrival.
"I knew she'd be wearing something black!" Raelyn exclaims.
"Oh, je suis dèsolè, is this dress not appropriate?" Kiara asks looking down at her dress unsure.
"You rock black like a queen, Kiara, but you gotta wear light colors so the colors of the powders show up." Raelyn says.
"Don't worry, we got a gift for you." Hana says before opening a conveniently nearby closet and pulling out a dress in a garment bag.
Trying the beautiful silk ruffle saree on in the bathroom, she marvels at the colors before coming out to show it off.

Kiara's saree
"Whoa!" Raelyn-
"Ahh! I got the size right!" Hana claps.
"Hana...Raelyn...merci beaucoup...this is so beautiful, it's almost a shame that we're about to ruin it." Kiara says hugging Hana.
"Speaking of..." Raelyn says grinning mischievously at Kiara before gently dabbing bright green powder on her nose. The two stand staring at each other in a show down.
"Oh, this is war." Kiara says quietly, slowly smirking. The grin on Raelyn's face slips off when Hana hands Kiara a heaping bag of pink powder.
"Now, now hold on a minute!" They say backing out of the patio doors at the two grinning ladies that were both holding bags of powder, advancing on Raelyn.
"Rae darling? You really should be running." Hana says causing Raelyn to squeal and run. Hana and Kiara laugh as they chase their quarry.

here’s a list of the best, mediocre and worst kdramas i watched in 2020
no one asked for this but it’s happening because i have thoughts (also all opinions are my own if you disagree then get well soon i guess... no i’m kidding make your own posts about it don’t hate me please) ahsjsj anyways click to read a lengthy post and if you actually read the whole thing then thank you i hope you enjoy this wild ride! 
THE BEST KDRAMAS -
mystic pop up bar - this show had everything i ask from a kdrama literally i can name it all found family (to real family), well thought out characters, a mystery plot, special effects, soft romances that were well written, a happy ending! no show in 2020 even comes close to how good this one was! the writers literally guided you throughout the whole thing so you could come up with theories and didn’t do a ‘aha! gotcha’ thing where they want to prove the audience wrong but they wanted us to be right and satisfied! the worst part about the drama is that it’s still so underrated and people just brush it off as some random fantasy show but it’s so much more than that! 1000/10
flower of evil - who doesn’t want to see lee joon gi being the son of a serial killer, living with the name of a man who is in a coma, and hiding his real identity from his wife who is a detective? this show constantly had me at the edge of my seat on a weekly basis so the emotions i went through while watching this are unparalleled! the writers also did such a good job on writing a coherent story that made sense and tied up all the plot points in the end. just a really satisfying show to watch! 10/10
where your eyes linger - i literally bought a $8 viki pass to watch this show so it should tell you everything you need to know about how i feel ahsjsj the episodes were 10 minutes long but we got a good story with well written characters who got character development in a total of 80 minutes it’s insane! honestly it’s still hard to believe this show had rookie actors because they were just so emotive that you could feel all the happiness, sadness, yearning and pining! probably one of my fave kdramas this year because of the acting that i always constantly rewatch! would recommend 10/10
crash landing on you - okay so this drama was actually released on my birthday last year and it was a time in my life when i was going through a lot so maybe it’s the comfort this show provided me through that time this is why i have such a soft spot for it? like the romance was good, it was funny, there was found family, the nk soldiers were all softies, there were strong female leads, soft male leads!!! ahh!! no other show on this list made me think about the unification of south korea and north korea irl because i wanted se ri and jeong hyeok to be together 4ever! but the only issue i had with this show was the ending they gave seung jun if they didn’t do that i’d give this show a 10/10 but just for that they get a 9/10
psycho but it’s okay - this was one of those shows where you’re literally like ‘wow everyone here needs therapy’ but this show was amazing i loved the story telling and how each episode related to children’s book/fairytales! the writers also did a good job with how carefully they talked about mental health in depth without villainising their characters but actually tried to make the audience understand why they were this way which included all the side characters too who had a well thought out story in each episode! also the dynamic between moon young, kang tae and sang tae was everything to me the actors all did an amazing job portraying their characters, it truly was a healing drama. the only thing i didn’t like about this show was the whole plastic surgery plot with the mother like that was very far fetched but it provided drama so i’ll let it slide because the rest was amazing. this show is a solid 8.5/10
18 again - another underrated gem! who would’ve thought a remake of that zac efron movie could be this good!! lee do hyun stole this show for sure the way he portrayed his character and gave heart eyes to his kids (when he’s only 25 irl was the best thing i saw this year ahsjs) i loved the family dynamics in this show, i loved how it talked about what it’s like to be young parents and how society still think it’s taboo to be divorced! it’s a show that makes you laugh and cry at the same time and that’s why everyone should watch it! however, the biggest clown thing this show did to me though was that i got sls for the first time while watching a kdrama... hwang in yeop if u’re reading this i love u and u deserved better 🤡 that aside this show was a 8/10
itaewon class - i actually didn’t watch this drama as it was airing because i thought i wouldn’t enjoy the plot but when i watched it i binged the whole thing in 2 days and my biggest regret is i didn’t watch it sooner! everyone knows i have a soft spot for park seo joon since he’s my favourite actor i’ve literally watched all his dramas like he could star in the trashiest drama out there and i’d still watch it and be like wow (looking at she was pretty 👀) this show aside from the acting had one of the best revenge plots in a kdrama! just watching a character realistically hustle his way to reach the top while fighting the corrupt man whose son killed his father was so so satisfying to watch! however, the love triangle in this show was questionable idk what they were trying to do with that but it personally annoyed me! but still i’ll give this show a 7.5/10 because i enjoyed it a lot!
do you like brahms? - kim min jae and park eun bin.. that’s all you need to know about why this is a good kdrama! i’m usually not a big fan of melodramas and everyone knows i prefer rom coms but this show was just so perfectly melo that i loved all the angst and pain we got!! also just watching two introverted people awkwardly fall in love was amazing! the characters story arcs were also handled pretty well with song ah finally learning to speak up for herself and joon young learning to express how he truly feels! but... the love square? was probably the most annoying thing the rest in my opinion was nicely done! i know people had mixed feelings about the ending but i loved that after all the pain joon young and song ah went through they got a happy ending together! 7/10
find me in your memory - okay this show started off very slow and it was confusing at the start but as it progressed everything in the plot started to fall into place! i mean this show really took opposites attract to a new level where the male lead could remember every single detail from his life but the female lead had to forget some of her traumatic memories to help her cope with her life! they were also tied together through a mutual character who was a big part of their lives in a different way! just an interesting melodrama with interesting characters i liked it! and moon ga young... i love you queen!!! 7/10
THE MEDIOCRE KDRAMAS -
more than friends - was the storytelling in this show groundbreaking? no. was the acting decent? yes. also probably the main reason i stuck with this show until the end! i think we can all agree lee soo had the best character development on this show he started off as a bad boy who wore one ear stud to actually becoming a well liked character... who else did it like him? no one. also the chemistry between the mains was 🔥 but the second male lead was so annoying is there a opposite word for second lead syndrome because i had that for sure! i think the best part about this show was the people i watched it with on here... shoutout to the five of us ahsjsj also this show introduced me to a talented actor/singer like ong seong wu (y’all know my kpop knowledge is nonexistent so no i didn’t know he was in a band called wanna one) all in all a predictable show but i had fun watching it so 6.5/10
tale of the nine tailed - i didn’t actually watch this show i watched it through gifs and instagram posts ahsjsjs so am i qualified to talk about my opinion definitely no... will I talk about it anyways yes lmao. lee rang deserved better that’s all goodbye and take care. 5.5/10
start up - probably one of the most awaited opinions. y’all thought this would be in the worst kdramas section but i decided to give this show some rights. the show started off strong, lost it’s way after episode 6 and then the last episode gave me what i wanted so i have mixed feelings. the writing was not the best i think we can all agree, love triangle as a plot device? wow so groundbreaking 🤡 the characters on the other hand... i loved every single one of them i mean ship wars? i don’t know her. the show had a lot of potential that was wasted but we also got some cute moments between the characters so there was really no winning or losing with this show? but in all honesty you can’t put a talented cast together like this and then just decide to give the audience a mediocre plot but the writers did exactly that! i think i can redirect y’all to my ‘crimes this show committed’ post for a in-depth analysis. lastly nam do san was a GOOD and REFRESHING male lead and ji pyeong was also a GOOD and FUN second male lead!!! this show gave me the ugliest ship war ever that i was transported back to my high school tvd days so thank you for that!! but the cast was loveable and all had a lot of chemistry together so here’s a 5/10 maybe that's too generous but... i think the reason why i didn't enjoy watching this show as much was definitely because of the tag on here lmao
THE WORST KDRAMAS -
the king eternal monarch - i miss clowning this show so much. the amount of braincells i lost while trying to understand this plot... i should be compensated by the writers. however, woo do hwan was a treat to look at on a weekly basis... however the writers kept decreasing his screen time even though he had a dual role... make it make sense? and i cannot comment on the plot of this show because i still don’t understand anything? also in my opinion tae eul and lee gon were the most bland couple of 2020, there was no chemistry between them and there was just a random kiss in episode 5 and they randomly said i love you... where was the development? also lee gon was soooo boring and such a one dimensional male lead! literally all the side characters were so much more interesting and the cast was good... but this plot. 2/10
do do sol sol la la sol - i wanna fight the writer who decided that the plot twist on the show would be that jun is a minor? i had no expectations from this show but it looked cute and nonsensical but that plot twist made me run the other way so fast that i never looked back! just because jun is a boy they really thought this would be excused like lmao we all have critical thinking skills???? the clown behaviour. a solid 1/10
record of youth - i hate this show so much. imagine not utilising park so dam who just starred in the biggest oscar winning movie to her full potential. imagine just making her a love interest to park bo gum’s character in the year 2020. i watched it up until episode 6 and i kept waiting for her character to get development... but it never happened so i dropped this show. also this show featured the MOST useless love triangle i have ever seen in my life like what was the point? also park bo gum’s characters family was straight up annoying (minus the grandpa) but they got so much screen time like that should’ve been given to park so dam... also villainising a gay side character for no reason at all in the year 2020? this show was a waste of my time i want the 6 hours i spent watching this back. -100/10 
backstreet rookie - i watched one episode of this and literally wanted to rip my eyeballs out of my head. idk what ji chang wook was thinking when he signed this drama i think he lost his ability to read because that's the only reasonable explanation for why he chose to star in such a dumpster fire show! this show had a racist character... had a high schooler kiss an adult... sexist jokes... just the worst things you can think of in a drama... this show had it. i still can’t believe so many people watched this show to the point where it had better ratings than pbio... really made me question everyone’s taste? but sorry can’t relate my taste is excellent so here’s the rating this show actually deserves -1000/10
if you made it this far... thank you for reading. let’s continue to love some kdramas together and get clowned by others in 2021! looking forward to it 😅

It is their sanctuary. A place that has everything they could wish for...
if only, fate isn't fickle...
"If I jump, will you save me again?"
"What a wretched soul I have..."
It’s been an hour since they were staring far in the horizon. Dusk is on its way, with the lake gulping the sun whole to bring forth darkness in the grassy land they’re on. That place is secluded, surrounded with trees serving as its walls. As if it were cradling them away from everything.
It's not their first-time watching day turn to night on where they are. They’ve known that spot enough to vividly paint the place on a whim.
It was neither a simple place as it seems. That place is a part of the human realm, untouched by anyone but two persons— them and Diavolo. A place which witnessed how the said Prince dropped on his knees and confessed he likes them. The place they admit they felt the same.
The place where they held hands in their secret rendezvous; times where the Future king would go to whenever he ran away from his endless responsibilities for a day and spend it with them, with words of affections and adorations for each other. It is their safe haven.
The Forget-me-not flowers they planted are blooming around them. As the two sat beneath the shade of the tree, appreciating the presence of the flowers and each other.
Diavolo has a habit of caressing their cheeks, brushing strands of their locks past their ears, as he embraces them as if they were the most precious treasure, he has ever held. Those smiles he would beam; brighter than the sol they always see. "You're the most beautiful being I have ever seen." And they would smile back, with their feelings overflowing so much they would always pour it back to him with a kiss.
But being always in that place doesn't mean they never left it. There are times they would give him a heart attack by literally jumping off the edge of the cliff. The demon prince then would follow them in a snap, before transforming right before their eyes and seizing them.
They knew it was a foolish thing to do. No sane person would ever carry out such dumb, dangerous stunt. They do have a magic or two under their sleeves should Diavolo fail the task. Spells they would feverishly study and tirelessly practice for the sake of the success of the Exchange Student program; for the sake of making Diavolo proud of them. So, they studied hard, yet fools only around their beloved.
So, they kept on flying off to the danger at every given chance. For the feeling during the times they would fall, they had the best view they could ever see in their lifetime. How the demon they ever loved could be so... breathtaking. Turning into his demon form—metamorphosing like a dazzling butterfly, his red locks fluttering in the wind, with such golden ornaments, such golden eyes reflecting the radiance of the sun. And most of all, such playful, thrilled smiles they would willingly lay their life just to see. He seems like the mesmerizing golden red dusk. He may be a demon, but Diavolo is much more divine than the angels in their eyes.
And to think that such an ambrosial prince would hold them in his firm arms, and bury them in his well-toned chest before gliding up in the air. They really love the feeling. Akin to the flowers they cultivate symbolizes, he is their true love.
"Should we land back on the top of the land?"
"Just a little bit longer." Humming, they would place a peck onto the tip of his horn or temple whenever they would request something so badly, which then would receive a chuckle from the Demon. "Hahaha, what a pampered human... Alright, just a little bit longer." And who knows how long they stay in the air. Then they would share small talks back on the cliff, and soon be bombarded with tons of messages and missed calls from the butler and the right-hand man. They would head back home after that, before the said aides decide to search for them and find their secret haven.
It was all they could ever wish for. An everlasting love to carry inside their mortal heart.
They have everything they could ask for, until that day comes. A moonless, rainy night during the celebration of Diavolo's birth.
"I'm glad to finally meet you, the Future King of Devildom." …the day she came. Rosa, a rather respected princess, and the daughter of Queen Rose.
"...N-No, the pleasure is mine." Whether he was flustered by her sudden appearance or not, something was rather amiss. His gaze towards her was different than anything they've ever seen him make. So different yet... familiar. Like the way his eyes sparked of reverie the day they first met, except it was more profound.
Diavolo sighed, "I'm telling you, you don't have to worry. You know you're the one I love." It was nothing, he said. It was only in their imagination, he said. Even so, the connection between the two they perceived every time the two met on business, felt so real.
They were so anxious, so angry they wanted to explode. They want to blame it all on that demon princess who appeared out of nowhere, and brought everything to a big mess! They wanted to lash at her, right from the deepest pit of their stomach!
...Yet, they didn't.
They simply can't. Not when she was like an angel who descended in the land of darkness.
So pure yet so wise, so diligent and well-versed. She is strong-willed and rather capable in every aspect. She doesn't deserve to be blamed for something she didn't mean to do. It was merely a work of two hearts naturally falling for each other. It was inevitable.
Instead of brooding without doing anything, they will fight. They will fight for what's theirs. For what's right. For the specks of affection left inside Diavolo. For their love, they won't give up.
Or so they thought...
"Y/N, would you mind having tea with me later?" Barbatos asked for their attendance.
But unlike the usual afternoon tea they always share with the butler, "Where's Diavolo?" ... the prince is not around.
"The Young master has prior engagement and brought Lucifer in my stead. My apologies if it was not to your liking."
"Ahh, no. I didn't mean it like that. It's just that... having snacks with only you are unusual." It's not unusual. Rather, it never occurred even once. Diavolo tends to postpone the teatime for another time whenever he can't go, as Barbatos always join his absence.
"Actually, I asked you today about an important matter to discuss."
"...Is it related to Diavolo and me, isn't it?" They shouldn't have asked him. They hated themself for asking Diavolo's attendant.
"Yes. To be precise, it is about your relationship and the lady you met during Young master's birthday. I believe you have the right to know this." They held their breath. "I hate to break it to you but the lady you met back then, is the Young Master's... fiancée and his soulmate." The words that came off Barbatos' lips felt like cold water dumped on them.
They just want to end the conversation right there and leave the garden as fast as they can, but they forcefully pull themself together and learn the whole truth, as painful as it is for them. "...Fiancee, you said? And what do you mean by soulmate?"
"For every heir of the throne, there is a prophecy foretelling the righteous betrothed one fated for them. This Oracle has never once failed in predicting who..." Barbatos paused, evaluating whether they could take any more. "...would help the Ruler in bringing prosperity in the Devildom."
After a minute of silence, they spoke. "Does Diavolo know all about this? About her?"
"Yes... but I swear in my name, he has always wanted to be free of the prophecy and achieve prosperity through his own power."
"Where is he headed to at the moment?"
"..." Barbatos' silence tells them everything. He is with her. That's all that they needed to know.
"I... see... Thank you for telling me this."
"I— no, I don't deserve such words from you." They shook their head, "You still disclosed this even when Diavolo wanted to keep it a secret from me. I'm sorry I brought trouble to you."
"It was my own choice. I'm just doing what I think is right."
"Thank you, really..."
They left the castle, thinking a lot of things but also finally enlightened.
They never had Diavolo's heart from the start.
He is the future of the Devildom, the future of all the demons who could easily outlive them. And for that he needs an Empress who can fully support him and bear another long-lived heir. His soulmate, his forever, his other half. Everything that they could never be.
Their life is short. His' is not. He could never fathom the extent of his life like they could. That is also the reason why they could love him until the day they cease to exist, a mere blink to him.
As obvious as the glaring sun that blinds them atop that cliff, his love... is gone.
They could see it in his eyes. Every day he spends with them, his mind is somewhere else.
Even in their favorite place, his embraces were still as cold as the mountain's peak. His smile is too forced, like a one man playing before their eyes. His kisses were prickling and painful. And his gaze... He is suffering.
Like they were.
"Forgive me." It was for the Devildom, he said. His head hangs low, wearing that distressed expression.
"Hey, lift your head? The future king shouldn't bow to anyone." They smiled, cupping his cheeks to raise his face.
"Look, I understand." It was a surprise they didn't shed a drop of tear, as they pat his head gently. "Follow your heart. You'll become a great king."
He made a wise decision, to choose his bond that suddenly came that day. Someone who really owns Diavolo's heart per destiny's decree. The heart they thought he offered back then, with the trees, and the cool breeze, and the swaying leaves, and the sunset as their witnesses. The heart they thought were already theirs. The heart that slipped from their fingers as he let go of their hand when Diavolo locked eyes with his fated one.
Diavolo's love is fleeting. Or maybe it was never love from the start, but a mere curiosity on his end. A misconception, but it doesn't matter anymore. They already knew the answer.
He already achieved his true love, holding his Empress in white. He wears that smile, much, much brighter than anything they have ever seen.
The bells sing with the crowd in jubilation. It is a merry occasion, with the official new rulers of the Devildom. All were so elated.
Except for one. "What a wretched soul I have..." they uttered under their breath. They couldn't take the sight. With the man they so love to be happy in someone's arms. Rage was boiling inside them. Staying there for a second longer and they would definitely ravage everything. So, they fled the scene, escaping to their secret place surrounded by the lake and the sea of trees.
They wanted to let it all out. Pain, sorrow, rage, envy. They were overflowing with emotion more than they could take. It should be them, placing a ring on his finger! the one smiling and crying of happiness as he makes a vow! The one who should be kissing him in front of thousands of witnesses!
"WHY?! What did I do to deserve this?!" The swaying blue and white Forget-me-nots they took with utmost care came to view. "What useless plants!!" They cried out, yanking and tearing everything off the soil. "True love?! It was only me from the very start!!"
All they could do was cry. Scream until their throat goes dry, until their voice disappears.
When all energy left their body, they slumped in the grassy land they’re on. In that secluded place, surrounded with trees serving as its walls. As if it were cradling them away from everything. Hiding their wretched self from everyone.
Dazed, they stared at the sky for an hour. As its hue turns from light blue to red, their mind gets clearer. That's when they heard a familiar sound. They followed it on the tip of the cliff.
It was the roaring waves beneath the land mass. It seems like it's continuing the cries they couldn't do anymore. Roaring like it was spilling the emotions inside them.
"If I jump, will you save me again?" They spoke to the man who is no longer in that secret place. It will never be a safe haven for them anymore.
"I want to be saved by you one more time." I want to be embraced by you one last time.
They faced their back to the rim of the cliff, and took a step backward. A foot standing on a void. And so, their body tipped, losing the other foot from the ground. As their balance disappears, they see nothing but the golden rays of the sunset and the redness of the dusk. So red like Diavolo's locks, golden like his eyes. There's nothing but only traces of him; of the man who doesn't really love them as he promised.
This is foolish... They thought. They're all alone. No Diavolo will fly down and save them anymore.
"I should go home..." Dying here would only hurt him... They whispered as the firm breeze swirls beneath, ready to catch them. After all, no one will save me but I... thinking of that, another pang spiked their heart.
But the wind spell they casted couldn't catch them. When they should have been falling, a hand appeared and pulled them in an embrace.
"Please don't do this..." it was not the warmth they were expecting. Yet, streams began flowing down their cheeks, in comfort of another’s arms. With their hoarse voice they sob the sorrow of losing their safe haven.

The Star Knight
The Star Knight
Summary: Post Series AU with my OCs.
Star is has found herself entangled with the magic of the legendary Sundrop and Moonstone through her own magical relic, the Star gem, a stone giving her a sword and armor, sworn to protect the Kingdom of Corona. However, just because they’re gone doesn’t mean that her job is done. Meeting along new characters and rencountering old ones, Star, Varian, and Jake, searched for answers and find themselves digging a hole a bit too far where they might just not get out of.
Chapter 5 - Jake’s Birthday
Chapter Summary: Varian and Star have been invited to Jake's birthday party. While they meet Jake's world, they meet unexpectedly with two familiar faces.
Word Count: 4,980
Author’s Note: Sorry, this took so while. My motivation and my spare time have not agreed to appear at the same time for a while. Kinda breezed through the beginning, writing is lazy there. It gets better later, especially at the end. Also for those of you interested in knowing about certain siblings, here you go.
◀︎ ︎︎︎Previous Chapter || Next Chapter ▶︎
Star waited in front of the gated door of Jake’s home. 
Star was starting to have second thoughts about attending Jake’s birthday party. She couldn't believe she had to wear a dress. Star hated wearing dresses. Mostly because they're inconvenient. She started learning horseback riding when she was about six and horseback riding with a dress is not a good idea. 
Star also found them uncomfortable since she didn't wear dresses. She always ended up tugging on it. So, Star simply refuses any formal parties as a resolution to her dress problem. 
Star only accepted Jake's invite since she felt like she needed to return the favor for helping her—or more accurately—trying to help her.
Continue reading on AO3 or continue under the cut ⬇︎
It was not too long after the sunset, so she was able to see that Jake's home was pretty big. A lot bigger than her own home and most houses in Corona. A mansion, of course, it was. This kid is probably filthy rich. She should have known from the way his dad dressed and talked. 
Upon further inspection, she realized the house was old, it had old-style windows and door frames. Through the gate, she could see the porch was flowering–quite literally–with green plants and colorful, exotic flowers that probably weren’t native to Corona. The garden was ordered neatly, well kept, and arranged precisely with the flowers and shrubbery. 
"Hey," she heard a voice behind her call.
Varian stood there. His hair was slicked back with his goggles. He wore a formal suit.
Star tried to hold her laughter in but Varian caught on.
"What’s funny?" he asked.
"Oh, um, I just never seen you so...formally dressed." 
"Could say the same to you," he pointed to her pink dress. "I could never imagine you in a dress. A pink dress, nonetheless."
"Yeah, I tend to avoid formal parties to avoid wearing dresses." Star kept tugging her dress. It feels like she's wearing the wrong size dress, but her mother made sure it fits. Her mother is one of the Queen’s handmaidens and one of her responsibilities is to sow dresses. 
A person approached them and opened the gate. Star guessed he was an employee judging by his uniform resembling the ones that service workers would wear back at the castle.
"Are you friends of Jacob?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm Star and this is Varian,” Star introduced.
“Yes, Jacob mentioned you two.” 
“He did?” Star was a bit surprised. She thought he'd be more interested in talking more about his ‘friends’.
“Yes, he’s quite excited to see you. But please, come in,” he gestured toward the entrance of Jake's home. 
Star and Varian exchanged glances and they followed the employee to the door.
The employee held the entrance door for them, Star looked inside and saw how many people were standing there. To her surprise, there are more adults than she was expecting. She felt her stomach turn into a knot. 
"Hey!" Jake popped in suddenly.
"Ahh!" Star and Varian stepped back. 
"Oh, sorry for scaring you. I’ll handle it from here, Wilfred," Jake told the employee whom she guessed was Wilfred. Star observed that he was wearing expensive clothes. She recognized the fabric as the ones her mother would use to fix the clothes of the King. 
“Come on in!” Jake invited them. 
Star and Varian entered his home.
“Um, you guys go ahead and go over there,” Jake guided them in a direction. “I got to do something for my dad. But I will only be gone for a sec!” And he left Star and Varian. 
Entering the ballroom she was even more surprised. From the high ceiling were hanging crystal chandeliers. The furniture seemed just as expensive, or even more than the one in the castle. The floor was so shiny that you could see your reflection like a mirror. There were tables with mouthwatering food. A live orchestra, playing classical music. 
Every adult in the room was dressed in their best outfits. The women wore the biggest, poofiest dresses, The men work jackets with silks and fabrics Star has never seen before. Some of them had a glass in their hand while they laughed in a conversation. at
Star looked around. Where are the other kids? Everyone here is an adult.
Varian tilted his head in the direction. Star could see that there were teenagers at the party, they were all in a corner of the massive room. All were well dressed as the adults. They didn’t seem too thrilled to be there. They were probably dragged to be here by their parents. 
Some of them leaned against the wall. Others were looking at the floor or the ceiling. One of them was making weird noises out of his mouth. Some just had a simple conversation with each other. One girl caught her gaze and went back to conversing with her friends and giggled along with her friends.
Star wasn’t sure if that giggle was directed to her. 
“Sorry, about that,” Jake said as he came back. “My dad wanted me to greet some clients of his. But now let me introduce you to my friends. Hey everyone!” Everyone turned in their direction. 
“This is Star and this is Varian!” Jake said proudly. 
Star and Varian waved awkwardly at his friends.
A few of them whispered into each other's other ear or mumbled something too low for Star to hear. Her mind raced with thoughts of what they were thinking.
The girl that giggled earlier was the first to stand up and say something. “Hello, Star, Varian. You're the new friends of Jacob aren’t you?” She had a soft tone but at the same time, her voice was almost squeaky. 
The girl was a brunette, with ashy brown hair. She had olive green eyes and wore a beautifully embroidered green dress that matched her eyes. 
“Y-yeah,” Star responded. 
“I’m Alisha Wilkins,” she said proudly, almost like a brag, but with her soft-spoken, squeaky tone, Star couldn’t tell. It was almost like she wanted sympathy from her. “But you can me Lisha.” She gave them a little smirk.  
"Uh, why did you call him Jacob?" Varian asked. 
"Well, only the people he's closest to call him that," Lisha answered, smirking with pride.
Lisha stepped next to Jake and grabbed his arm. “Jacob and I have been friends since we were young, My father is a long-time partner of his. So, how do you know him?”
“Uh…he tried to steal my horse…” Star blurted. 
“Ah, yes of course.” She turned her attention to Jake, “Jake, I have something I need to talk to you about, come.” She walked Jake away from them, which was fine with Star. She didn’t exactly find her the most pleasant company. 
Star sighed in relief. "Glad she's gone. Everyone around here is so…‘uppity’." 
"Jake seems pretty nice. He didn't have to invite us, you know."
"Yeah, Jake's nice, but you've never worked at the castle. You've lived in Old Corona your whole life. You don't get to meet the type of people that my parents had to serve when they came visiting for political reasons. Some are nice, others aren't. The worst ones are the ones that put up a facade in front of others but when they're alone with service workers, that mask drops." 
Yeah, she’d been around them, but she never had to engage with them beyond offering their services. There is a difference between working for and trying to hold a conversation with them.
Star noticed that she was probably going too far with this conversation. She was probably making anyone with money the worst person imaginable. She decided to stop herself. 
"Sorry, I'm probably making it sound worse than it is. It’s only happened twice, but I hate people that don’t respect service workers,” Star realized she was clenching her teeth way too hard. She took a deep breath and relaxed her jaw. Her heart was already beginning to race. 
"I digress, but my point is I don't like the people here. We don't fit, Varian. I feel so out of place. I just don't want to be here." Star spotted an empty balcony.
Oh thank goodness, she thought. 
She felt that she couldn't breathe, alongside the feeling of being an outsider, she felt constricted, like her lungs weren’t getting enough air, in part due to her anxiety. Being in an environment where there are so many people didn’t help either. 
Star knew she shouldn’t have come. For one, she didn’t like to be around people; being around big events like this simply drained her. Especially for people from such a high class. She knew that the royal family was part of the circle, but they’ve treated her and her family as, well, family, especially Rapunzel. 
As she took in the crisp, cool night air, Varian stood beside her. Star looked up at the starry night sky. There was a full moon, with little to no clouds. She looked at the tops of trees, and with the moonlight, she was able to discern the shape of the treetops, that’s how strong the moon’s light was. The moonlight reflected off the sea in the distance.  It was calm and peaceful. Only the soft noises of crickets and cicadas were audible in the distance. 
“You know, you didn't have to come with me,” Star said to Varian.
Varian smiled, “Eh, I’m used to it.” He leaned forward to put his arms on the railing. Star followed. “We’re kind of stuck with each other now.” 
Star paused for a moment, after hearing him saying that.
“The two of us against the world?” Star found herself muttering out without thinking.
She looked at Varian to see his reaction. He probably was thinking how corny she sounded, and to be fair, she thought so too. But, to her surprise, he nodded and smiled softly at her, as the wind blew his hair. Star never realized how blue his eyes were, with the full moon above them, his eyes shone brightly.
“I, uh…I’m a little thirsty,” Star said awkwardly after abruptly breaking their eye contact. “Can you get me something to drink?”
“Yes, I can do that,” Varian said and he went back inside.
Star exhaled. What was that all about? She’s always been comfortable around him, why this now?
“That’s cute,” Star heard a voice interrupt her train of thought.
She turned around to find the girl with black hair and electric blue eyes from the stables standing there. She wore a long elegant black dress, it wasn't as decorative as the other girls had it was simple, but she was able to look far better than most of the people here with less expensive and decorated clothes. She smirked at her.
“You!” Star’s defense went up. She was ready to pull out her sword but she hesitated because it was Jake’s birthday party and she didn’t want to ruin his party by pulling out a magical sword and threatening one of his guests. 
“Yes, it is me from the horse stables. Don’t worry, I’m not here to fight.”
“You know, I could have you arrested right here, right now, if I wanted.“
"Sure," she was not alarmed at all.
"What do you want?"
"Just wanted to properly introduce myself," she walked next to her on the balcony railing. "Zoe. Zoe Malchance. My brother, Nathan, should be around here somewhere."
"Star," she said, still on guard. She didn’t want Zoe to feel too comfortable with her.
"So...which one is your boyfriend? The dorky one with goggles or Jake?"
Star almost choked on her spit. "What?! W-what are you talking about?! I don’t have a boyfriend!" Star blurted out quickly. She felt her temperature rising. 
"Woah, geez. I was just kidding," Zoe leaned back on the railing. "I was just poking fun."
"Hmph. I don't think that's fun."
Zoe snickered.  “Hey, I noticed you don’t like Wilkins that much. I could see you fuming from a mile away.”
“Oh! No! I—” Star wanted to explain herself but Zoe cut her off. 
“It’s okay. Any enemy of that shallow tyrant is a friend of mine,” Zoe said as she observed her black-painted fingernails. 
Star was a little taken aback by not only how harsh her words were, but also how forward she was. 
“Everyone here follows her like a puppy. Mostly because she comes from a long line of rich heirs, old money,” Zoe scoffed.  
"Hey, Zo! Who are you talking to?" A guy with black hair appeared gleefully. Her brother, Nathan, most likely. She recognized him with the same blue eyes and dark hair. Unlike the other invites, his suit was simple. Nothing fancy like everyone else. He held a plate of dessert in his hand. 
"I'm Star," she groaned. The reason she came here is to get away from people, not to attract them.
"Nice to finally get your name. I'm Nathan, but you call me Nate," he winked. 
"I'm surprised you two are here,” Star said. “After what you made Jake do. He still invited you."
"You would be surprised at how quite forgiving he is," Zoe said.
"Yeah," Nate ate a bite of his dessert. "He's pretty cool that way. He's like the nicest person we've ever met."
Star watched as Nate gobbled down his cake. "So, how do you know him?" Star had the feeling that they weren't from the well-respected and highly regarded part of the social upper class she was familiar with.
Nate looked at his sister, almost looking for approval. She gave a slight nod.
"Our dad owns a small shop outside the walls of Corona. We sell potions and other small varieties of magical things. Mr. Goldfield owns the building. He takes a small percentage of the cut. He takes care of stuff like building repairs. Aw man, you should have seen the shop when the black rocks were there. There were so many holes poking through our shop, it looked like swiss cheese!" 
"If your dad owns a shop, what were you going to do with the horses?" Star was still curious about that. Something didn't sit right with her. It didn’t seem like they were going to hurt them…
Nate again looked at his sister. She simply gave him a subtle head shake. 
"Sorry, can't tell you," and he continued to eat. 
Why did Nate need to ask his sister for permission? 
“Hm, you know what? I like you,” Nate said.
"Wish I could say the same for you," Star mumbled under her breath.
"Wow, you're honest! I like that!" 
“Here you go,” Star turned around and found Varian handing her a drink. He seemed a bit out of it; like something upset him. 
“Are you okay?” she asked concernedly. 
“Yeah, I was just thinking about something Jake said…” 
I knew I couldn't trust him, Star thought.  “What did he say?” 
“He asked about you,” he said softly.
“Huh? What did he want to know about me?”
“He asked, um—you know what? It wasn’t that important,” he lied. 
Star wanted to know but she didn't want to push him. If it was that important he would've said it, right? At least Star hoped would have learned his lesson after the whole Zhan Tiri thing. 
"Hey, guys!" Jake appeared, gleeful as ever. "Oh, I see you've met the Malchance siblings." 
"Yep," Star replied without the same enthusiasm. 
"Hey, um, Star," Jake's voice changed dramatically from that upbeat tone. "I want to say I'm sorry for stealing your horse. I realized that I never really apologized for it."
Star was surprised by his honesty. She didn't know how to respond. 
"Yeah, Don't blame the man, he was just helping a fellow bro out," Nate said, trying hard to be cool. "Which I appreciate, Jake."
Jake just winked at him. 
Star suppressed her urge to facepalm right then and there. She wasn’t amused. 
Lisha approached with her posy of rich friends, which included Jake. 
“Hey, there, again,” she said. Star could see that Lisha knew that the Malchance siblings were talking to her. “So…you’ve met the Malchances.”
"I would keep my distance if I were you." One of Lisha's friends said. "Especially with Nate…"
Star looked over at Nate, she can tell that it irritated him but he didn't do anything more than that. 
“Oh, I forgot to mention Star is the Star Knight and Varian is the Royal Engineer.” 
Star wished he hadn’t mentioned that she was the Star Knight. She didn’t need any more attention than she was used to, which is usually none and that’s how she likes to keep it that way.
Star observed the reaction of his friends. Some of them look at her in awe, almost like they couldn't believe it. She saw some of the girls whispering once again to each other. 
A person stepped up and smiled at her. "Wow! That's incredible! So does that mean you know the Queen?" 
Star looked at Varian and nodded at her. 
"Wow," she gasped in awe. "That must be so fun to hang out with her?"
“Yeah, it kind of is.” Star was unsure of what to say. 
"Why are your teeth like that?" The girl asked coldly while pointing to Star's teeth, her tooth gap.
Star's smile quickly disappeared. She covered her mouth. "Uh, I don’t know? Because it is." Star said weakly.��
Star had always been self-conscious about her teeth gap. She refused to smile or laugh around people she didn't know for the exact reason. 
“Stephanie, stop asking questions like that!” Lisha scorned her friend. “It’s very insulting to people who aren’t as fortunate as we are.”
Star could tell that Lisha tried to ‘cover’ her insult, in a weird roundabout way to defend Star. In reality, Star suspected Alisha knew that as well. 
“Thank goodness, if we did, we would all be as shallow as you,” Zoe said, 
“Hey, Star, I want to show you something,” Jake interrupted. 
Star wasn’t sure whether to go with him or not. She’s only known him for a couple of days. 
“Yeah,” she said hesitantly.  
Varian seemed to catch on to what Star was thinking.
"I'll come with you guys!" Varian started to follow them.
To Star's surprise, Jake didn't even protest. "Yeah, that's cool." 
Jake took them to the back door, he opened it and gestured to them to go ahead. 
Star walked out first. She looked at the backyard garden. It was too much to take in all at once. Star didn’t think that the front yard could look tiny in comparison to the backyard garden. It was a couple of miles long. There was a fountain right in the middle. An entire hedge maze fat in the back. Rose bushes and hedges were carefully placed around. Tulips, lilies, and even chrysanthemums.
“Woah, your garden is…amazing!” Star said in amazement.
“Thanks, but the gardeners and landscapers deserve all the credit for that,” Jake said. "Star, I noticed how uncomfortable you were with all those people around. Thought you needed some fresh air."
"Yeah," Star said shyly. She didn't want to admit he was right. 
Jake began to walk the length of the garden with Varian and Star shortly following him. They eventually stopped at a green patch of grass. 
Jake plopped down and lay on the grass, looking at the sky. Star and Varian lay next to him as well. 
“I like looking at the stars,” Jake said. “Stars are always pretty.”
Star looked up at the sky, she agreed. The clear night sky had a way of calming her. Maybe it’s because her name is Star and there is this connection to the night sky she’d always had. 
“Oh, hold on,” Star said. “We didn’t even say happy birthday to you, Jake! Happy birthday.”
“You’re right, Star,” Varian realized it too. “Happy birthday, Jake.”
“Thanks, guys,” Jake said, still staring at the stars. 
“So…how’s it feel to be eighteen?” Star asked. 
“Honestly, not that different. I tried drinking wine today, though. Not that good. I spat it out immediately. I thought it would be more like grape juice.”
They all laughed. 
"Actually,” Star interrupted the moment, “now that I think about it, we don't know a whole lot about you. Especially when we told you our whole life story back in the cell!" 
"Oh," Jake laughed nervously. "Yeah. Guess that isn't fair. Okay, where to start. I was born in Corona. My mother was gone when I was pretty young. I only remember fragments of her here and there. So for a while, it's been me and my dad..." He trailed off at the end.
Star looked over at him. He looked lost in thought. 
She felt bad. It felt like she accidentally hit a nerve. A painful memory to remember. "Uh, sorry for asking, I didn’t mean—"
"No, it’s alright," he said. 
Jake inhaled sharply. "One of the most vivid memories I have of her is when she told me that I was her ray of sunshine. That no matter how gray the day was, I would brighten up her day. That's why I dedicate myself to trying to cheer people up. It's the one way I still feel connected to her…"
There was a long silence between them. 
“I know how that feels,” Varian finally broke the silence. “I lost my mother when I was young too.”
Star felt out of place in this conversation. Star has both her parents, thankfully. She has never really lost anyone dear to her. She never felt the true pain of grief—which only made it harder when the time came. So, she feels guilty simply just being in this conversation, like what can she even say? 
She heard him sigh, “I wanted to apologize on behalf of Alisha and her friends. I know what they said wasn’t cool. My dad always says that client relationships are important even if it is just with their families.”
“Jacob!” They heard a faint voice call.
Jake got up and looked in the direction of the voice. “Oh, right, Gee, I almost forgot! There’s going to be a HUGE light show!” He jumped up. 
“Oh, so like fireworks?” Varian asked. 
“Mmm…not exactly,” Jake said. “Come on! You don’t want to miss this!” 
Jake ran back to his home. Varian and Star quickly followed him. 
Star saw that everyone was gathered at the porch of the mansion. 
“Jake, you ready?” Zoe asked. 
“I sure am!”
Zoe motioned everyone to take a step back, everyone backed up.
Then, Zoe stood completely still in a pose. Her arms were crossed across her chest with two fingers she held up on each hand. What a strange position, Star thought. 
Everyone held their breath, anxiously waiting for something to happen. Star observed Zoe, she was calm and didn’t even twitch. She had complete control. 
Electric blue sparks began to jump from Zoe’s fingers. Zoe opened her eyes and the sparks began to fly, bigger, brighter. Zoe slowly began moving her arms. The electric magic was following her motion. She began to charge up with more magic. Star watched as the magic danced between her hands, following her every move. 
Abruptly, the magic condenses into Zoe’s hands. Zoe then threw the magic in the air, it looked like glowing spheres. The spheres exploded with a bright flash and small lights slowly fell from the sky like golden snow.
“Woah…” Everyone was admiring the beautiful lights. 
"I think alchemy can do it better," Varian whispered to Star. 
Everyone began to gather around her, showering her with compliments. 
“Wow, how do you do that?” A boy asked. 
“Zoe, it was perfect as always!” Jake said.
“Zoe, you rock! You should do that at my birthday party!” a girl squealed. 
“Brava, Zoe!” Mr. Goldfield applauded her. “Remarkable! Silverious, your daughter is a prodigy!”
“Thank you,” the man next to him said. “Indeed, she is quite a sorceress, my pride.”
Star looked at the man curiously, he looked relatively young, not much older than her parents, but his gray hairs would say otherwise. He is certainly Zoe’s and Nate’s father, with the same dark hair and electric blue eyes. 
“Hmph.”
Star turned around to see that Nate was behind them. Star could sense his jealousy.
“Hey, dad!” Nate called out. “Watch this, everyone!”
Nate began to produce sparks from his hands. He tried to mimic the same movement Zoe did. The sparks quickly began brighter, much quicker than Zoe’s performance. 
His father looked in fear, “Nathan! Stop this at once!” 
The wind began to pick up. The light started to become blinding. Everyone starts to panic and back away from Nate. 
“Oh no,” Star knew this was her cue. “Starlight, star bright!”
Star had on her armor and Starlight in her hand. “Everyone behind me!” 
Everyone began to run behind her. Star commanded Starlight to disappear and instead, she commanded her light shields to appear, one on each arm. She merged them to form a massive single shield. 
“Nate! You gotta stop!” Star begged. 
“I’m trying! I’m trying! I am!” he exclaimed. 
With a big flash, an explosion came. Star’s vision was blinded by the light, she closed her eyes. Her ears were ringing. Then, everything was still.
Her vision slowly came back. As fast as the light came, it went away leaving only light orbs scattered across the ground. It left a mess. Everyone had their hair ruined with leaves and dirt. People helped others off the ground from being blown away. Their expensive suits and dresses are covered in muck and grime. Flowers bare naked, petals stripped away. The Fountain has half of its water, the other half soaked in the ground. They groaned and cried, but no one was hurt. 
Star eyed Alisha, she was spitting out leaves that entered her mouth. “Ugh! This is disgusting!” 
Star smirked. She couldn’t lie, it gave her satisfaction seeing her like this. 
Both Varian and Jake were fine. Their hair was covered in leaves and twigs, though. 
“Aw, crap!” Nate yelled. He threw his arm in frustration, small sparks flew from his hand. People around him flinched, they were still uneasy 
“Nathan Malchance!” Silverious snapped. “I told you not to use your magic! Look at what you have done!” 
Nate sat shamefully in the mud. He didn’t even look his father in the eye. “I-I’m sorry…” he croaked.   
“We’ll discuss this at home, in private.” Mr. Malchance turned his attention to Mr. Goldfield and Jake. “I’m deeply sorry this happened. I told him he cannot use his magic at this event, unfortunately, he decided it would be fun to try to ruin Jake’s party. Come on, you two. We overstayed our welcome here.” He left the party with Zoe shortly following him. 
Nate got up and tried to clean the first of him. He turned to Jake and mumbled softly, still facing the ground, “Sorry, Jake,” and ran after his family. 
Even with the Malchances gone, the tension was still there. People began to leave, to clean themselves, which Star couldn’t blame them for. She found some leaves and twigs in her hair. 
As Jake’s father said farewell to everyone, Jake sat on the steps of the porch. 
Star and Varian sat next to him.
“That party didn’t go as planned, right?” Varian asked.
“Ha,” Jake chuckled softly. “Yeah, the whole explosion thing wasn't part of it, but hey, at least the party ended with a bang!” He forces a laugh. “I just wished this would happen after I blew out my candles.” 
“Oh,” Star hadn’t realized this. She thought about what she could do to make him feel better. “Wait, a minute. I have an idea!”
Star got up abruptly and ran back inside.
Some time went by and Star returned with a plate with a piece of cake with a lit candle. 
Jake’s face gleamed with joy. “Wow, thanks, Star.”
“Sorry, I couldn’t find a bigger piece,” Star handed the plate to Jake. “I think Nate ate most of it.”
“No, no, this is perfect.”
“Well, then make a wish.”
Jake gave a pensive face. Then he blew out the candle.
“So, what did you wish for?” Star asked as a joke.
“Glad you asked!” 
That wasn’t the reply she was looking for.  
“No, Jake, that was a joke, you’re not—”
“I wished that you guys would come with me to the showing for the play next week that’s happening in the Town Square.”
“Uh, you mean the play that Feldspar writes?” Varian asked. 
“Yeah.”
Star and Varian exchanged glances. They didn’t have anything going on that day, so why not?
“Sure,” they both agreed. 
“Great!” He stood up. “Thanks for coming to my party. It…it means a lot.” 
Star and Varian parted from their friend and went home.
---
On the way back home, there was silence between Star and Varian. It was dark, the street was lit by the candles on the side of buildings, but something changed in the air. 
Finally, Varian broke the silence. 
“Um, do you like Jake?” he said abruptly.
Star almost tripped.
“Um, what?”
“Do you like him?”
“Uh…” Star looked at Varian’s face, trying to discern what he asking,
“You mean as a friend?”
“Uh, yeah.”
Star, relieved, said, “Oh, yes. He’s really fun.”
“I think so too.”
Star thought that was strange, It was the first time anything like that happened. She wondered what could have caused it. 
The conversation with Jake, she thought.  
No, there is no way, right? Right? 
“Oh!” She stopped at an intersection. “I’m going this way. My dad is going to meet me over there.” 
“Oh, okay, yeah. I’m going this way,” Varian pointed in the opposite direction. “Home is this way. Okay, bye!” He threw finger guns and turned to walk in that direction.
“Yeah, bye.” Star walked away, feeling awkward as ever.

hadestown brain dump (songs)
SPOILERS FOR HADESTOWN/THE STORY OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE
ok so it may have been more than a few days, but what're you gonna do about it?
so i wanted to do another brain dump, and i wanted to listen to hadestown, so i'm doing a song by song brain dump as i go along. this means that my thoughts are going to be even more stream-of-consciousness style (if that's even possible.) also i'm talking specifically about the original broadway cast recording bc i haven't listened to any other version. (also this was completed across multiple months so it is even more chaotic lmao).
also i highly recommend that you listen to the musical and/or pull up the lyrics as you go along! enjoy!
road to hell. the way andre brings in the chorus is flawless please. also the way that hermes is both a narrator and a character in the story he's narrating? beautiful. "the king of the mine." he sounds so nice here for some reason. also love his self-introduction "maybe it will turn out this time" no it won't but thank you for trying. also breaking the fourth wall to acknowledge the chorus and crew is so nice, here comes reeve ;) mans sounds like an angel. you can hear amber's voice stick out of the chorus and i literally love it so much. i'd die for amber gray but we'll get to that later.
any way the wind blows. the fates literally sound so perfect together. Eva's intro throws me off every time, she sounds so pretty. dear god the harmonies with the fates hit so different. can this cast please narrate my life? there's the wind comparisons ;D the "ooos" are so good. "and it ain't because i'm kind" idk i just like how andre sounds here. oh and the funny behind "so i took him underneath my wing" because hermes has wings on his helmet and shoes.
come home with me. orpheus is so oblivious but i love it. also eurydice is literally such a mood. the wordplay with "come again". the "oh, he's crazy" is my favorite part of the whole song. also eva's voice acting is so good.
wedding song. the way she says "lover"? my ass cannot handle this. eva sounds so smug in the beginning of this song and i love it. "sing the song ;)" eurydice is so fantastic. the chorus of "la" is so pretty. eva joining in during the end is just. so perfect.
epic i. hell yeah introduce the king and queen (both literally and figuratively). reeve's falsetto <3 the way orpheus looks to hermes for approval throughout the musical. hermes narrating over orpheus singing.
livin' it up on top. HELL YES THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED. i love amber gray so much. the gravel and the rasp. please step on me. also i love the idea of persephone being the wine aunt, especially because media usually portrays her as soft and breakable. the way she says "haaard". the way the music gets more upbeat and energetic when hermes says "the world came back to liiife!" the instrumental/dance? break is so good. please kill me with that trumpet good sir. the leadup to when amber starts singing again. orpheus really knows how to give a speech. "i will ;)" amber please step on me i am not joking.
all i've ever known (intro). thank you for the intro king. the music is so pretty. the way it picks up with the piano part <3
all i've ever known. eva sounds so pretty dear god. yay more wind references! the wordplay with "hold". and also the references to hot and cold throughout the musical. "i don't wanna ever have to let you go." lol ironic because she ends up going with hades. "i knew you before we met, and i don't even know you yet." the fucking wordplay. like holy shit. the "love at first sight" feelings. this line gets me every damn time. the wordplay from 2:10 - 2:38 is so fucking incredible. i lose it every time istg. the instrumental portion is so pretty. the wind! "we'll always be like this" i fucking love irony so much. its so underrated and adds so many layers to the story.
way down hadestown. amber gray. that's it. "you either get to hell or to hadestown, ain't no difference anymore". i fucking love this line so much. not really sure why but the delivery is perfect. also the whole thing with it being a train? i love that so much. all the allusions and comparisons they can make are fantastic. more amber gray appreciation. and ofc. the fates. more fantastic instrumental breaks. "and you better forget about your wishing well." this line is so good but so sad because its literally persephone saying that "hey, fair warning, life is shit down there" and i feel bad for her. like the way she's super sassy and shit, but just stops singing when hades gets there, you can tell that she's definitely not ok. speaking of hades, holy shit patrick page. sounds so fucking fantastic. thank you for existing good sir. eva with the breathtaking single lines. and eva's voice standing out when she sings "ground".
a gathering storm. the constant references to weather and nature throughout the whole musical. eurydice with the common sense. the wind again! "did you hear me, orpheus?" he did not, in fact, hear her.
epic ii. the different names for hades in each epic make me so happy. hades thoughts: "i think my wife might not come back cause i'm super controlling. whatever shall i do? oh, i know! be even more controlling!" lmao dumbass motherfucker. that might not work out so well. i fucking love the transition into "chant" so much.
chant. this is one of my favorite songs from the musical. the wordplay within the entire song is so fucking fantastic. hades singing about desire and then orpheus singing the "song of love" was definitely done on purpose and i'm living for it. every single one of eva's lines make me emotional. ma'am why are you good at everything?? the band! more weather references! patrick page singing "lover" hits different. orpheus singing about hades and persephone being blind and deaf. lmao irony because he's not paying attention to anything around him. the wind! weather! "the song of love" is what brought orpheus and eurydice together, but orpheus' devotion to finishing it is what drives eurydice to hades. "did you think i'd be impressed" i was right ;) it didn't work out so well.
hey, little songbird. the strings <3 patrick page is a god (lol i'm so funny). how does he manage to make manipulation sound so good? bird references! the vocal contrast! eva's voice has this kind of "innocence" to it. especially compared to patrick. not sure if that's on purpose or not, but i love it. also the low note kills me every time. the octave jumps between patrick and eva's voices is just. ugh. and also eva's entire second verse is so fucking good. the emotion she portrays in her voice is so spectacular. seriously hades with the manipulation is so interesting and its so good. (manipulation is not a good thing i just mean that its done so well in the show. do not manipulate people!)
when the chips are down (intro). "your ticket ;)" yes pls sir i'll take a ticket cause life sucks ass.
when the chips are down. i fucking love the fates dear god. gambling references! eva has literally one line and still owns my heart. the band! "shoot to kill" sounds so good like i love it so much pls. also this fucking line "cast your eyes to heaven, you get a knife in the back" is so good. i'm gonna have to get into quite a few lines throughout the musical in a different brain dump because i have so much thought.
gone, i'm gone. darling eurydice. its not your fault that you're starving stop apologizing. "talk of sin" lol she do be going to hell. that's funny. the harmonies.
wait for me (intro). the piano. heremes trying to change the subject hurts my heart. and orpheus' reaction is so sad please. "no.." just rip my fucking heart out, why don't you?
wait for me. the transition. andre coming in clutch with the narration. reeve sounds wonderful, as always. the fucking fates. just kill me already. they literally sound so good. the strings' build up between the "la"s. the chorus. the buildup at the end.
why we build the wall. the total 180 in the vibes. call and response has a special pace in my heart. mr page killing it again. god, hades is such a piece of shit and its perfect. he really is a master manipulator. fuck capitalism. the chorus sounds so good. i want to platonically smooch all of them. jesus fucking christ burn capitalism to the ground. the end is amazing. also the not-so-subtle references to slavery/forced labor.
why we build the wall (outro). i'd die for andre. "anybody want a drink?" yes ma'am. yes please. (don't drink, kids) i love you so much.
our lady of the underground. its so jazzy! jesus fucking christ. oh my fucking god. i would literally sell my soul for amber gray. what did we ever do to deserve her? god the raspiness fucking kills me. also love that she breaks the fourth wall to acknowledge the band. when she comes back in after the instrumental break? consider me dead. "what the boss don't know, the boss won't mind" she sounds so good here. also i love that she straight up doesn't give a fuck about hades here.
way down hadestown (reprise). hell yeah i love reprises. the fates. andre. the chorus. i love them all. i'm such a whore for reoccurring lyrics. the strings! fuck capitalism! eva's emotions are just so fucking good. "you've already forgot?" holy shit. this shit hurted. the "ahh ooh"s are so good.
flowers. the intro <3. eva sounds so pretty. the fucking symbolism in this song is incredible. i'm gonna get into this in another brain dump bc it's a very sensitive topic. the fact that she can't actually fully remember orpheus makes me so sad. so pretty <3
come home with me (reprise). hell yeah another reprise. the way the music is much more upbeat when orpheus shows up. their excitement! eva's vocal emotions are literally so fantastic pls.
papers (intro). "young mannn" kill me patrick. train references! hell yeah persephone. the way andre gets louder when he says "raised up his voice." eva <3. reeve just always sounds so pretty. ohmygod the laugh. kill me good sir. mans straight up admits to owning people and is like "it's cool tho cause they signed a piece of paper. def not taking advantage of people that are literally starving or anything. it's fine." fuck you hades. go step on a fucking lego. orpheus is so sad :(
papers (instrumental). yes. sounds so good. i'm imagining an epic chase scene. the transition into nothing changes <3
nothing changes. respectfully? the fates could kill me any day and i'd thank them. the weather reference! that "anyhow" is so fucking good istg.
if it's true. another one of my favorites. pop off intro. the broken "is this how the world is?" sadly, yes. "but everybody knows that walls have ears." is literally such a powerful line to me for some reason. it does a great job of bringing in the chorus. and by calling the workers "walls" it shows that hades views them as "less than." they aren't even referred to as people. "what's the use of his backbone if he never stands upright." oh my god. because they literally cannot stand upright. anais mitchell is literally a fucking genius. fuck the 1%. gambling references! the chorus backing him is just so pretty. the way orpheus looks to the chorus for advice and support. "we're standing." ugh its so good.
how long. oh my fucking god. amber fucking gray. (that's it, that's the post). the way she sounds resigned/disappointed when she says "i've had enough" makes me so sad. there are no words to describe how i feel about 0:25 - 0:41. like their relationship is strained, and super mega fucked up, but it's obvious that they still care about one another. the emotion in their voices throughout this song is fantastic. the play on light and dark. also more bird references! how they view themselves/their self importance. hades is a most importantly king. persephone is most importantly a wife. it really show that hades views power as more important than anything else. "nothing comes of the songs people sing." holy fucking shit. cause their song is the "song of love," but they can barely stand each other and their relationship has fallen apart. persephone commenting on his love of power over his love of her. amber's voice during "the earth must die" is so nice and for what? god i love her. they sound so nice together <3
chant (reprise). another favorite hehe. the strings! it's all just so pretty. when the piano comes in i die a little. the self realization coming from the chorus when they're like "oh shit, this is wrong. i don't deserve to be treated like this." is so fucking fantastic. the "young mannn" again! hades really be like "manipulate her! make her depend on you financially! i've been ding this a while kid! i know how to successfully control women!" reeve sounds so pretty pls. the way that eurydice has basically become part of the chorus (since she's just another worker now). more self realization! the different ways that hades and orpheus view the "song of love." "sing before i kill you so i can use it to manipulate my wife and make her feel like shit." patrick's voice tho.
epic iii. reeve coming in with that falsetto like nobody's business. orpheus really about to bite you in the ass with your own damn song. amber gray <3. the "ooo"s in the background. the way the music picks up when reeve gets to the "la"s. it's just so fucking good. that falsetto again. orpheus really looked at the king of hell, a literal god, and said "i want to ruin him psychologically" and it fucking worked. which is some of my favorite irony because hades wouldn't have shit if it weren't for that fact that he's a good manipulator and takes advantage of the needy. that last line <3
epic iii (instrumental). i have no words for how fucking beautiful this is. i so desperately want an extended version. like for real love this so much. if i get married, i want this to be the song for the first dance.
promises. eurydice is so proud of him for finishing. the way that eurydice realized that she cares about him more that material objects. wind and weather references! "if we can do it so can they!" she sounds so excited. :( "hand-in-hand" lol nope. not them refencing wedding song, anyway the wind blows, and then giving their "i do"s. absolutely heart wrenching.
word to the wise. the fates. pls step on me ladies. the lyrics throughout this are so fucking good. lol hades being damned. cause he's the king of hell. honestly its solid advice tho. humans are really fucking stupid.
his kiss, the riot. give us them adjectives king. " how dare people want rights! >:(" hades is really trying to make himself the good guy rn. the music! 2:15 - 3:03 is so good pls. the lyrics are just so spectacular.
wait for me (reprise) (intro). hello again andre! hermes literally says "he's trying to psych you out and manipulate you. he wants you to doubt everything" and orpheus says "are you sure tho?" and then procedes to doubt everything. the way the music changes is <3. the song transition.
wait for me (reprise). my absolute fucking favorite song in this musical. the first fucking lyric is so good. it really sets an expectation for the song and i am not disappointed. lyrics that talk about how fucked up any single person's brain is are so fucking cool to me. god i love this song. how soft the first set of "wait for me"s are. the support/pressure from the chorus. the entire exchange between hades and persephone. the way amber's voice sticks out of the chorus. the fates coming in clutch again. train references! more brain talk! amber gray please end me. eva sounds so pretty. and the final note is so good!
doubt comes in. the long intro that builds up suspense. the first time that orpheus's "la"s aren't echoed by the chorus/music. wind! weather! the fates sound so pretty like always. reeve genuinely sounds so scared. the way the music picks up and the chorus joins in when eurydice starts singing. the music is so unsettling and i love it. god i love his voice. 3:44 - 3:57 always hits so different. you realize just how much she means to him. how it all goes to shit when the music reaches the climax. the fact that the music clashes on purpose. the sadness in their voices.
road to hell (reprise). it all comes full circle. god andre sounds so sad. the way you come to really hear the lyrics because there's no upbeat music to distract you this time, "its a tragedy" lol because the actual written story is a tragedy. "i learned that from a friend of mine" poor orpheus :(. the way the chorus slowly joins in and the music slowly picks up. the "can you feel it" is literally so fucking powerful. fuck yes amber. fuck it up queen. amber and eva sound so nice together. the "its a love song, its a sad song" is so sad. the final lyric is just. ugh.
we raise our cups. yes pls amber. this song is so pretty. good night queen.

Giver [2/2]
Kinktober 2020.10.04
Prompt: Face Sitting Word Count: 1,706 Fandom: Detective Conan - ShinRan
.
.
Making it to the edge of the bed was a chore in itself, especially when his legs were still jelly from his release. 
But he was as numb to them as he was certain she was to the slick and slime that clung on her sweet, saintly, tainted face, an aftermath of their wild improvisation five sinful minutes ago. 
Embarrassed yet achingly turned on by such sight, Shinichi wiped her up during the interlude with the tissue he initially planned to jerk off on, and Ran giggled inwardly at his belated modesty.
“I, uh, sorry,” he grovelled.
“N-No, I wanted that too,” came her meek reply, but said with unmistakable glint in her eyes that indicated she truly wanted the mess.
Something must be done with the influx of blood rushing back his groin.
She took the tissue from his hand and proceeded to dab her own face with it, “Mm, I’ll do the cleaning up.” 
“You sure?” he hunched over her, hand letting go of the tissue to allow his arms to cage her on either side of her legs. “So sure,” she crooned. A sign. ‘Now do what you need to do.’
He brushed his nose against her neck, smells her sakura scent, her sweat and his essence mixing on her skin and his mind reeled with rekindled lust. “I owe you big time,” he nibbled on the soft spot under her ear, forming a trail of fresh love marks down her collarbone, “Please, let me treat you right.”
His hum on her skin must have made her head swirl for she mechanically leaned back, upper body propped only by an elbow. That gave him the chance to slide one knee on the bed and pepper her with open-mouthed kisses on the smooth skin of her neck and shoulder. They didn’t know when she finished wiping, when her blue school vest was hurled away, when half of the buttons of her white undershirt came undone. They just happened like magic.
Skipping her chest area, he slid his body halfway down, traced with the tip of his nose a path from under her chest to her navel. “May I take this off?” He asked, hand traveling to the zipper of her uniform skirt. “Yes,” she mumbled, letting the piece of clothing slide so easily down her legs unto the floor, leaving her with her white lace panties that looked so sexy paired with her long-sleeved undershirt of the same color and black knee-length socks.
She’d been very open and honest of her wants lately, and god, was it a turn on. It wasn’t like he was forcing anything on her but instead everything was happening naturally, unbelievable as it may sound. As if Ran woke up one morning knowing exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it done by him. He never thought he’d see her so pumped, so driven like an automobile engine on fifth gear.
He looked up and admired her breathless face. She stared back, eyes glassy and lips slightly parted, one hand behind his hair and the other balancing herself on the sheets. She was beautiful. Tantalizing. His one and only queen.
A queen deserving of a throne.
“Ran,” he climbed the bed completely and flipped so that his back was flat on the bed, crown against the base of the headboard, “c’mere.”
That instruction alone was sufficient to let her follow through. With a blush on her face, she crawled on her knees and slung one thigh over his shoulder, giving him a majestic view of her spread and vulnerable above him. Warm space and damp underwear were the only thing keeping them apart. She pinned his hands with hers on either side of his face, and her gentle palm squeeze and dark needy eyes were enough to convey that which she badly wanted.
He casted a smug smirk and kissed her inner wrist, “As you wish,” before he hooked his arm over her right thigh. His left hand went over her other leg, holding her hips in a not so comfortable but still snug position above his chin.
He breathed her in, filling his mind with the familiar scent of early afternoon and blooming flowers and sex and Ran, before sliding her panties aside with two fingers until he’s face to face with the most heated, most delicious part of her.
“Don’t hold back, love,” Shinichi cajoled, his icy breath against her pink, puffy skin making every hair in her body tingle. He kissed her inner thighs first, lifting his head up to work his way closer to her aching center, and in a matter of seconds her entire wetness was enveloped in his hot, hungry mouth.
He amused himself with the expected gape and throb and writhe of her face from the initial contact, her cheeks turning impeccably pink and flushed, stray bangs clinging to her damp forehead. Thighs shuddered under his fingertips, and he had to strengthen his already firm grip to keep her from toppling over and suffocating him with them. He traced her folds with his tongue, up to her clit where he stimulated her like he’s tickling the roof of her mouth.
Seeing her various blissed out reactions everytime he ate her out was his favorite. He had always tasted her with his knees on the floor or his stomach flat on the bed. But this was a first. Her visage from this vantage point hit differently, and he felt like he snagged the VIP seat to an exclusive screening of his favorite X-rated movie (not that he watched plenty). She looked sinfully immaculate above him with her undershirt undone, green tie dangling loose around her neck. One hand gripped the top of the headboard while the other twined through his soft, disheveled hair. Her hips moved like waves against his face, back and forth, slow and sensual, matching the rhythm of his tongue.
So erotic. So hot. His queen. All his.
“Mmn,” he hummed his enjoyment against her, the ripple of vibrations eliciting a delighted whimper out her throat. This is his queen stripped off of any inhibitions, giving in entirely to pleasure. He pressed an angled smirk against her core, mumbled, “you're so wet,” before spreading her legs further apart so that she sat flat and secure on his face.
Despite his air space reduced to half, he was much too eager to please her more to even think of pausing, or breathing. Lifting his chin up, his nose bumped along her clit as he skillfully slid his tongue inside her. Immense pleasure echoed in her voice as she gasped the loudest, most feminine sound he had ever heard her produce in her lifetime.
From then onwards he couldn’t even think to stop, delving his tongue deeper and deeper her tight walls, the perimeter of his mouth drenching with her warm juices. He drove her mind into frenzy with the way his lips massaged her outer creases while fucking her quite literally with his tongue. He ate her like his most favorite meal, drank her like fresh water in the middle of drought. 
“Shini-... hngh, d-don’t, ahh, th-that...” her voice came ragged, choppy as his tongue returned to lap on her clit in as much a maddening pace as how he did inside her that it sent her eyes rolling to the back of her skull. She seemed to take a liking there the most, fingers burying deeply in his scalp, thighs squeezing him unconsciously and her hips straddling his face in figure eights that complemented the wonderful drawls of her ‘ah’s and ‘yes’ and the airy gasps of his name.
Her breath turned shallow, moans turned into low cries. She was nearing, yes, and there he hit a wonderful spot when her cries went a pitch higher, all the more reason to concentrate his tongue on that one specific point over her swelling bead.
"Th-There! Yes yes yes, oh god-” The explicit string of words he could only guess was involuntarily uttered by those angelic lips was enough of an indication that she’d reached a height out her own universe. Her muscles fluttered and constricted vehemently against his tongue, knees buckling, trembling against his cheeks.
And there above him his queen unravelled, unmindful of her own glorious, contorted expression and the sudden buck of her hips down his face. He opened his mouth wide, catching and tasting everything she rutted on him, wanting all of it and more. He didn’t cease lapping as her fluids dripped down his tongue, his lips and chin, bitter and salty and heavenly, exactly how Ran had always tasted.
Pretty much, he did it. His queen loved her throne.
Her tear-stricken cheeks and astounding amount of come in and all over his mouth were proof.
Slowly, Ran’s fingers retracted from the headboard and her hips raised up to give him adequate breathing space. He hadn’t paid much attention to how close he honestly was from passing out inasmuch as he believed the lack of air was from witnessing her orgasm up close.
Both breathing laboriously, they caught each other’s eyes for a searing gaze, her eyes showing signs of overstimulation and bliss. With his back hand, he wiped his mouth clean of her juices to at least make his face look more presentable under her. But that only made her face heat up like he was doing her again, causing her to hide behind her palms.
“I-, that was...I was... so- I’m sorry!” Though she couldn’t form a straight sentence, he knew exactly what she meant.
He chuckled lightly, licked the corner of his lips for a final cleanup, before shifting both of their weights to a sitting position, she on his lap. “I wanted that,” he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips, “Really, really wanted that.”
She blushed furiously, both because of his remark and the subtle taste of herself from the kiss.
“You want that too?”
She nodded shyly, “Yes.”
“Want more of that next time?”
She dug her teeth on her lower lip. “...Yes.”
“That’s nice,” he acknowledged with a smirk, the image of her beautiful writhing face above him burned in his mind forever, “’cause I do too.”

Sally McKenna Playlist
Tumblr media
Masterlist
I listen to this playlist so much it’s just ahh. As of the time I’m writing this, this bad boy is almost exactly 3 and a half hours long
Occasional little blurbs under the songs that are... interesting
Playlist link
“R U Mine?” by Arctic Monkeys
I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?" Well, are you mine?
How could I not put some Arctic Monkeys for Sally. They scream Sally vibes.
“The Cult of Dionysus” by The Orion Experience
I'm feeling devious You're looking glamorous Let's get mischievous And polyamorous Wine and women and wonderful vices Welcome to the cult of Dionysus
At first this song might seem a little weird, but it is quite the banger once you get into it
“I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don’t Want To Die” by Waterparks
I miss having sex but at least I don't wanna die anymore And I think that's pretty cool I miss seeing the red on your face when I made you blush, hey But I think it's fine, it's cool
This song is such a mood I can’t even. 
“summer depression” by girl in red
Pretty face with pretty bad dreams No one knows i cry in my sleep Waking up feeling like shit It's a normal thing to feel like this
I don't care I'm feeling down I wanna stay home Never go outside Summer depression comes every year I just want to disappear
Do you listen to girl in red because I sure do
“OK” by Wallows
I'm getting too close You say you love me most It's hard to trust it even though I want to Need to get this shit out of my head Before I flip this on myself instead
I’m in an unofficial girl band called Sugar Tits and this is one of the songs we’re going to cover. I feel like Sally would appreciate this.
“505″ by Arctic Monkeys
I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination you're waiting, lying on your side With your hands between your thighs
Stop and wait a sec Oh, when you look at me like that, my darling What did you expect? I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck Or I did last time I checked
This song SCREAMS Sally and I stand by that
“Gold Dust Woman - 2004 Remaster” by Fleetwood Mac
Did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now do you know how Pick up the pieces and go home.
I can’t not put a Fleetwood Mac song
“Dontmakemefallinlove” by Cuco
I don't think I'm meant to be with you I don't wanna make you sad All the time just feeling bad Girl, don't make me fall in love with you I don't think I'm right for you I'm just disappointing you
Angsty Sally not feeling good enough
“Prom Queen” by Beach Bunny
Teach me how to be okay I don't want to downplay my emotions They say beauty is pain You'll only be happy If you look a certain way
Sally vibes, man
“3 Nights” by Dominic Fike
Three nights at the motel Under streetlights In the city of palms Call me what you want, when you want, if you want And you can call me names if you call me up
Hotel Cortez love affair with our girl Sally
“Marlboro Nights” by Lonely God
I don't wanna go to school tomorrow I can't study Thinking about you And you know I always do I don't wanna go to sleep tonight when I can stay up Thinking about you And you know I always do
This is teen Sally and it is not up for debate
“Paper Thin Hotel” by Matt Maltese
I listened to your kisses at the door I never heard the world so clear before You ran your bath and you began to sing I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing I stood there with my ear against the wall I was not seized by jealousy at all In fact a burden lifted from my soul I learned that love was out of my control
A lot of these songs I have cried to and thinking about angsty Sally makes it even harder not to cry. Picture poor Sally being trapped in the Cortez and having to witness someone she love be with another person. How can you not be sad thinking about that?
“Lonely Eyes” by The Front Bottoms
You've got me stuck to where I'm sittin' Lookin' at your eyes And I know I'm so pathetic I wouldn't move to save my life And they tell me that you're lonely It's no surprise When you walk around all day wearing those Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes
Lonely bb
“me & ur ghost” by blackbear
I'm not alone It's just me and your ghost And this cripplin' depression I thought I learned my lesson But, I threw out my phone And I burned all your clothes And now I'm not alone It's just me and your ghost
You could take this literally or metaphorically. I’d argue that it works either way.
“Cigarettes On Patios” by BabyJake
I was smoking cigarettes on patios I was throwing money in the air Maybe I should pick that shit back up Bet my night on love Here we go again
This song is extremely repetitive, but the vibe fits.
“Sex n’ Drugs” by Abhi The Nomad
Born faceless Please save me My soul's tainted It's how I've been born I've worn patience Please save me I'm more tasteful than ever before
Sally’s theme song and overall lifestyle
“Foreplay” by Jalen Santoy
First they tell you that they love you Then they ask where you coming from Like you the only one feeling how you feeling Then you lie just to make it sound appealing
I love you The things that cross my mind while I'm by myself I hate you These things go through my mind while I'm by myself I fuck you These things run through my mind while I'm by myself Well fuck you It's always on my mind, think I need some help
Find me vibin’ to this. Sally dealing with fake ass bitches.
“hot girl bummer” by blackbear
Fuck you, and you, and you I hate your friends and they hate me too I'm through, I'm through, I'm through This that hot girl bummer anthem Turn it up and throw a tantrum
Hot girl summer Sally
“1 SIDED LOVE” by blackbear
You're too busy talking over me to hear what I'm saying You're too high to realize I see Through the smile that you're faking You're so into yourself Everyone else is overrated And everything's changing Is your heart worth breaking?
I could cry to this. Actually now that I think about it, I have cried to this and Sally would too.
“Easier” by 5 Seconds of Summer
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? I don't wanna know, oh But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change And you know you don't want it any other way
An angry vibe
“Wrong” by Ally Hills
I can't keep on living with a delicate mind If I make a coffee, can we act like we're fine? When we were tangled in the sheets And waking up in our bed 'Cause now you strangle me in my sleep And I wake up with you in my head
Oh oh Oh oh I thought you loved me
A sad post break up vibe
“Space” by Ally Hills
You don't even care that my clothes aren't there. You needed the hanger space. You don't even mind 'cause you don't waste time Filling in all the blanks.
I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to be lonely I wish you would stay in for a night to see what it's like fading slowly
Another sad post break up vibe
“Liability” by Lorde
Baby really hurt me Crying in the taxi He don't wanna know me Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm Says it was poison So I guess I'll go home Into the arms of the girl that I love The only love I haven't screwed up She's so hard to please But she's a forest fire
Ok, but try to listen to this song while sad and not cry??? I could cry to this even if I’m not sad. It just comes on and I’m like “yeah bitch I am a liability.”
“All Girls Are The Same” by Juice WRLD
Ten minutes, she tell me it would take ten minutes To break my heart, oh no she didn't Fuck livin', I'ma drown in my sorrow Fuck givin', I'ma take not borrow And I'm still sinnin', I'm still losin' my mind I know I been trippin', I'm still wasting my time All the time given, am I dyin? Am I livin'? It's fuck feelings, my sorrow go up to the ceilin'
Heartbroken gal
“The Louvre” by Lorde
I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough I overthink your p-punctuation use Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do
A rush at the beginning I get caught up, just for a minute But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest
CRASHING INTO LOVE WITH RECKLESS SALLY
“Writer In The Dark” by Lorde
Break the news, you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry, I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Angsty song writer Sally
“Sims” by Lauv
I wish that you and I lived in the Sims We could build a house and plant some flowers and have kids But we're both at some trashy Halloween party downtown And I'll probably never see you again I wish that we lived on a VHS I'd erase the things I said and that I'll probably say again Hit rewind on all the times I got lost in my head But I guess I'll never see you again I'll probably never see you again
Ok hang with me for a second here. Sally leaving the Cortez in her one night of freedom. She meets someone at a Halloween party and they hit it off, but she doesn’t think to get her contact information or anything, so she spends the next year thinking of seeing the mysterious girl again.
“Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees
It started with a whisper And that was when I kissed her And then she made my lips hurt I could hear the chit chat Take me to your love shack Mamas always gotta back track When everybody talks back
Sally can take me to her love shack anytime
“prom dress” by mxmtoon
I can't help the fact I like to be alone It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know I tend to handle things usually by myself And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
The last line screams teenage Sally, but also Sally now too?
“i hope your whole life sux” by blackbear
The truth yeah, is I've been up for days on cocaine The truth is I've been up for days tryin' not to think about you I hope that I'm the reason that you can't sleep I hope that your whole life sucks without me The truth is I've been up for days thinkin' 'bout you
Unhealthy coping mechanisms from our favorite druggie

“Teeth” by 5 Seconds of Summer
Some days, you're the only thing I know Only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold Can't look away, can't look away Beg you to stay, beg you to stay, yeah Sometimes, you're a stranger in my bed Don't know if you love me or you want me dead Push me away, push me away Then beg me to stay, beg me to stay
Spicy Sally

“pharmacy” by Isaac Dunbar
Mmm, hurt me I kind of developed a taste for it Mmm, hurt me I want the pain between my lips

Sally reminiscing on her times before the Cortez
“blackboard.edu” by Arlie
Don't listen to me I just need a good night's sleepAnd you keep me up all night Can't talk right I'm fallin' in my clothes And even though I'm feeling like death I can't be upset 'Cause I finally know
If you can’t tell, I love teen AUs
“7PM” by Lilacs, Lizzy McAlpine
I'm losing my mind I'm reading the news for the hell of it I'm wondering if she's on your mind Losing track of time I'm learning to cook for the hell of it And I'm wondering if she's by your side Tonight

I wanna be with you. I wanna be with you. I wanna be barely hangin' on. 
Sally falls HARD
“Kilby Girl” by The Backseat Lovers
I overheard that she was 19 with a fake ID and a nose ring Those kind of girls tend to know things better than I do And I'm dying to figure out what she's hiding She's playing it cool but she's lying, better than I do
TEEN SALLY
“New Girl” by FINNEAS
I wanna scratch your surface I wanna feel your groove I wanna be your needle I wanna lick your wound You wanna play with fire? Stick and poke tattoo? You wanna play, my new girl? I wanna play with you
The energy, the presence, the vibes
“Chicken Tenders” by Dominic Fike
We settled but it never felt right 'cause we can't keep still And we try to fight the way everything feels When we step out of line I met your gaze and it was love that we were makin' And she spoke a different language There was no need for translation And I ordered chicken fingers to my room, girl But we got some things to do first
This song is something that’s for sure
“no friends” by mazie
I don't have no fucking friends Don't have fun, I don't break hearts I don't have no fucking friends
If less is more then I'm doing the most I'm so bored, and I feel like a ghost I don't wanna smoke no more 'cause I'm broke And my window won't open God, my life is a joke
Sally is lonely and needs love

Chapter 3 Reactions
Chapter 1-2 Reactions
I present to you my reactions to playing FF7R for the first time. I voice recorded myself as I played through each chapter. I finished the game and will slowly be writing down most of my commentary as I played. My sister, who has no prior exposure to the lore of FF7 (sequels, movies, novellas, etc.), watched me as well and I will be including her fresh perspective here as well. I also use the word “bitch” affectionately. I call my besties by that word so if you are easily offended, don’t read. 
Heavy cloti reactions for this chapter, so if you don’t like cloti, don’t read. 
I’m crying. I know I said I was crying before, but I was just saying that bc I was crying internally. I’m literally crying actual tears rn. (Sis: Angelica, are you really--you’re so dramatic.)
The music is perfect. I need to look up the sheet music. They did this shit on purpose. It’s making me feel happy and sad at the same time. (Sis: Angelica, just play the fucking game) I’m on a feels trip rn, let me go through the motions!
(I literally stopped to listen to the music) I’m going to have to analyze the songs at a later time and write my thoughts all down.
Did the Shinra manager just say that about us? You wanna repeat that again to me and my flower, motherfucker?!
I demand you to put that poster back on the board, now!
What? (Sis: Why’d the thing fall out of the sky?)
Whaaaat? (Sis: It’s the dementors again!)
I ship them (new recruit & senior officer) (Sis: They don’t even have names! Why do you ship them? Me: They do, bitch. Top and Bottom, duh.)
Ahh, sector 7, my heart. (Sis: This is the fucking ghetto.)
The music. Ohhhh, the music. TIFA’S THEME. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. 
*drunks bois outside talking about using Tifa’s friends to get close to Tifa* Sis: Ok, who is this baddie? I gotta see who everyone is tripping and stumbling for.
TIFA MY QUEEN. (Sis: *gasp* SHE’S SO PRETTY!)
(Tifa says Marlene’s name) Sis: MARLENE’S SO CUTE. PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS. GIVE THE FLOWER TO HER.
What...? I can’t give the flower to Marlene?! *gasp* It’s not optional! THE FLOWER GOES TO TIFA. HOLY SHIT.
Why’d they change it? I mean, I was gonna give it to Tifa anyway, but I was soo prepared to make the choice awwww.
Sis: Talk to Marlene! 
Ho shit, Barret was ready to throw down, Best dad award. 
Cloud and Tifa talking to each other is so gentle, I love it. wtfffff. (Sis: Does he like her? If you fucking say you’ll see one more time, I’m going to punch you. Me: You’re going to have to speculate for now! We have to finish the game to find out more.)
The way Cloud says “don’t worry about me” He’s trying so hard to be cool in front of her hahaha
Who tf is in the other room, Tifa? (Sis: She’s got a boyfriend she never told you about! me: Over my dead body)
Can I go inside Tifa’s room? LOL (sis: Don’t be one of those) 
*tries to open her door anyway* Cloud: That’s Tifa’s room. Don’t be weird. (Sis: Yeah, Angelica. Don’t be weird.)
How tf is Cloud able to sleep with that shoulder guard on, wtf.
I should wake Tifa up first and let her know the neighbor has stomach problems??? (Sis: Stop trying to get into her room, you weirdo.)
WTF? YOOO. SEPHIROTH??? 
Cloud’s a scared idiot. His voice and face are so different when he’s triggered
The landlady is my new fave character. (Sis: So does that mean Cloud is trying to be with Tifa? Me:...You’ll see... Sis: Ah, I had that one coming.) 
*Cloud groans about the water filters* (Sis: Cloud is an insufferable bitch. How are you gonna get the girl with that piss attitude??)
Cloud is so jealous and over protective, my god.
Tifa’s so patient with him, I love her. 
LOL Marle just loves to shit on Cloud hahahaha
Salty weapon vendor lol. fuck you too. 
TIFA IS SO FUN TO PLAY AS.
*after hearing battle dialogue* Sis: are they fucking flirting? The sexual tension is thicc!
EVERY TIME CLOUD AND TIFA TALK TO EACH OTHER, THEY’RE LOWKEY FLIRTING I LOVE IT.
Tifa punching Johnny. She’s a Goddess. Ughhh.
Cloud seeing Tifa punch Johnny boi is like WOT THA FOCK hahaha
Damn, Cloud is pissed at Johnny. Bruh.
Fuck, we scared Tifa, noooo.
Tifa is da real one. Real eyes, realize, real lies. (Sis: Was Cloud nicer before...? me: um... Sis: Right, you’ll see.)
She wants us to go back to apartments? (Sis: THEY GON FUCK)
“COME OVER WHEN YOU’RE DONE” 
Her room is so cute! She has a fucking punching bag, yesssss.

Wow, did I just get kicked out of the bar?
Sis: Tifa’s like the popular girlfriend that’s out of his league. Me: I’m salty that I can’t hang out with them.
Was Cloud going to rat Barret out? wtf. Diiick.
Jessie makes everything seem like we’re planning to bang LOL

ok my Thoughts on all the trailers
46 days: this looks fun! good cast!! Looks incredibly silly in an entertaining way
an eye for an eye: I have mixed feelings? it looks like it might touch on some heavy, real issues - I'd be interested to see an exploration of things like corruption and nepotism.. but it depends on how much of this is just for drama and how much is commentary
drag, I love you: uh... what? is the plot supposed to be “homophobic/transphobic guy falls in love with a woman who is pretending to be a male drag queen, not knowing she’s a woman” ??? No ❤️ we don’t want it ... or am I misunderstanding? is this the one joss said he thought 3wbf fans would be excited for? I’m not seeing it..
fish upon the sky: this could def be interesting!! it’s by the same author as 2gether - actually I might be wrong, but I think this was the only trailer that drew attention to the author’s name... gmmtv really want a repeat of 2g’s success, which is understandable, they’re a business, but... when it involves portraying LGBT characters, I just hope it’s done well. I'm interested to see where they go with this – “when you love someone, you must change yourself” - maybe it’ll provide “be yourself” kinda message? also phuwin!! precious 🥺❤️
mama gogo: so many of my Sons (podd, toptap, lee) 🥰 I already love the main female character lmao, I'm HERE for jaded, bitter women. from the trailer it looks like it’ll be funny !!
mr. lipstick: yeah I already hate the main guy lmao.. really started out strong there with rating women out of 10 based on their physical appearance, bud. 🙄 I think this is my least favourite of all the trailers so far. I do like love score which they played in the trailer yess stan sizzy
never too late: they knew what they were doing starting off with glitching audio and nanon, lmao. I imagine these roles are going to be a great opportunity for the actors to show their Skills, and I can’t wait! this looks really interesting, I'm excited!
step darling: uh this whole thing kinda just feels off? I feel like they had some good, interesting concepts but... maybe it was rushed, or they didn’t really know what to do with this or something. idk if I'll even watch this
baker boys: at first I was just like aww okay yes this is cute... and then. at first I was thinking “ah this will be a show where the actors entirely carry the plot”, but... I'm very excited for the mystery element here? I love a Dark Twist™, and i’m excited to see Lee and Singto’s acting !!
enchanté: the book thing looks cute but like... dude if you wanna know who he is, just ask him through the book? tf.... also Gawin!!! overall, gives me Cinderella energy ?? I want to watch this !!
the war of flower: aye 🥰🥰🥰 the drama between the women “we’re such good friends <333 *cuts to them fighting*” looks fun sdkdsk also GUN!! I do love to make myself feel better about my own life by watching other peoples’ messy personal drama, so I'll watch this
bad buddy: okay ohm and nanon!!! I love the opposites attract thing, this could be good. I guess it’s some Romeo and Juliet type thing?? they secretly don’t hate each other?? I'm excited!! also miss love pattranite is in it ❤️
irresistible: yeah this just looks boring idk
the player: HOLY SHIT I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS !! Jane, Namtan, Chimon ... and TAWANSKDSK MY FAV BOY !!!!!!!!!! I'm very excited for this!! I love a good crime drama!!! honestly, it gives me “an inspector calls” vibes - maybe that’s why I'm so excited for it; studying that play in high school English lit was around when I fell in love w the whole story production process, and yeah family drama is just fun when it’s done right?? easily my #1 of these
not me: do crime, baby boys ❤️ VERY excited to see off and gun in roles that will give them a chance to really show themselves as actors!!! gun is playing twins? it’s what he deserves, he’s so talented ahh, and Gavin and mond are here? this looks really good wow
F4: so I've pretty consistently avoided every version of Hana Yori Dango because... it just sounds kinda toxic. but this looks like it’ll really take a different direction - criticising the same issues instead of perpetuating them? this could literally be groundbreaking? I'm seriously excited. I imagine Bright and Tu’s acting is really going to shine through here (I already love tu so much omg). honestly, I went from “great, another BOF remake 🙄” to genuinely thinking this could be one of the best shows of 2021... I mean we’ll see, but like.. this is a good trailer

So, this is to my guest reviewer who got so offended that I mentioned drag queens in Would You Like To Date My Friend, Chiba Mamoru? that they felt compelled to write me a long review about how much I wasted their time and should not bring my worldviews into my writing.
So… here! Have some more drag queens! :D
-
“Are we really sure this is… necessary?” Mamoru mumbled, eyeing the duct tape warily.
Usagi wasn’t helping. She looked more unsure than he did. And frankly, that wasn’t very reassuring given the fact that she was about to duct tape his newly shaven dick up his ass.
“Don’t be such a baby,” Minako said from behind the paravent. “You gotta look authentic!”
“Right,” he sighed, spread his thighs apart a little wider with a flush, and nodded for Usagi to start.
Unsurprisingly, duct tape on your junk hurt. He winced immediately, 
“Sorry, sorry, sorryyyy,” she cried, but never stopped with the tape. 
Yup. He was now pretty grateful Minako had insisted on that full-body wax for him. 
He closed his eyes and just let her do it, even when she knelt in front of him and looked at his junk and the tape as if it were the most complicated of all IKEA furniture she’d ever have to put together.
“How’s this even supposed to…” she mumbled in frustration.
“He’s supposed to look flat,” came the very helpful remark from the other side. 
“Duh.” Mamoru and Usagi rolled their eyes in perfect synchronization, before he winced again, hissing through his teeth.
“Sorryyyy!”
“Ok, so,” Makoto’s voice this time. “You’re supposed to like, tuck them back up.”
“Back up?!” Usagi said, eyeing his testicles varily.
Mamoru’s eyebrows jumped to his hairline in spontaneous panic.
“Like, there’s supposed to be this little pocket? Where they came from? You’re supposed to shove them back in, or up, and the dick is supposed to go like, all the way back to the ass crack.”
“Where are you reading this from?” he asked, trying to not sound panicked.
“WikiHow!”
Uh…
He looked down at his fiancée wide-eyed, who wasn’t looking back much better.
Shaking his head though, he grabbed downstairs, deciding to take matters into his own hand after all and quite literally, and subsequently tried to shove it all up himself - and actually, yeah… kind of? A pocket??  
He nodded down towards her and yuppp, tape down there really, really hurt. 
He wasn’t looking forward to taking that back off. Really, he wasn’t. 
What he didn’t do for the mission…
“Right,” Usagi announced, quite proudly. “He’s flat now!”
A cheer from the other side of the paravent, and then a hipster slip thrown over the side of it that he quickly stepped into. And with that, he supposed his paravent privacy rights were over, because it was shoved away, and he was handed a pair of shiny see-through black tights and a black bra.
“Here’s your boobs,” Minako said with a wink, and handed him a pair of silicone pads. 
He sighed long and hard, even when Usagi was already grabbing them from him and stuffing them into his bra.
“Is this really–” he tried again.
“Of course it’s necessary!” Minako interrupted him, then motioned for him to sit on the stool before her vanity.
He really didn’t like the look of that glue she held up.
“Sit!” she ordered.
He did, but eyed her suspiciously.
“Oh c’mon!” Minako groused. “Trust me a little! I got you!”
He sighed, and closed his eyes, and felt Minako attack his eyebrows with glue. To better camouflage them away with make-up, she later explained, and paint him new ones.
“Ok so,” Ami said from the side of Minako’s bed, detangling some cables to stick into her impromptu equipment. “Once you’re inside, scout the perimeter. If you wear your mic and earpiece, I have you on monitor the whole time. Try to track anything even remotely suspicious.”
“Right,” he mumbled, eyes back open. Minako was dabbing his face in nude colored make-up and it felt like she was painting him a new one.
“Full contour?” Rei asked next to her.
“Of course!” she mumbled, took a new brush, a new color, and wiped at his cheekbones.
“We’ll be in the audience the whole time,” Ami continued. “The second you notice something that looks like the attack, or a portal, or a weapon, or anything, one of us transforms and will be right with you.”
“A weapon?!” Usagi shrieked.
“And try to keep close to the other Queens, protect them. Try to take the hit for them if worst comes to worst.”
“WHAT?!” Usagi bellowed.
But he nodded. “Right,” he said, at the same time as Rei who rolled her eyes at Usagi and barked a, “Give him some credit, will you? He can take it!”
That was the whole reason they were doing this, after all. Someone had been threatening the local queer community for a while, and after ‘only’ hate speech in the mail, started making serious threats especially to the little drag theater they were trying to protect tonight. And since the last attack had been supernatural in nature, and this one was almost a sure bet, the local police had contacted the Senshi and asked for their assistance.
It had been Minako’s idea of course. That their best shot was to have someone undercover in the show who tries to take the brunt of the attack.
Usagi had been first to volunteer - use the Luna Pen, turn herself into a Beautiful Drag Queen. Mamoru had been first to protest and volunteer as tribute in her stead.
He wasn’t letting any more crazy people try and blow up his girlfriend.
Everyone had agreed (except Usagi.)
Minako was glueing fake eyelashes on him when Rei spoke up again, tapping her finger to her chin as she watched Minako work. 
“We need a good drag name for you,” she mumbled thoughtfully.
“Mamoko!” Usagi cried from her perch on the floor right beside his stool.
He smiled - the others rolled their eyes.
“That’s not a drag name,” Rei shot in her direction with that ’are you daft, again?’ inflection to her voice, dismissing her.
“Princess Flower?” Makoto suggested. “Rosa Mask? Rosa Tux? Golden Thorne?”
“Domina Masque?” Ami threw in with a shrug, and Mamoru threw her an offended look.
“Ooooh!” Minako cried. “I like it! We gotta get you a mask!”
He sighed long and hard - but was tutted for it - Minako was working on his lips.
“Here I got your butt!” Makoto said, holding up the newly finished spanks with foam hot-glued in it. 
He sighed even harder.
It was when Minako was done with the make-up, and the girls had tucked him into the sparkly red and crazy short sequin dress and zipped him up, that he was starting to not recognize himself in the mirror anymore.
“Damn, girl,” Makoto whistled. “What do you need these legs for?! Why are you so skinny?”
He blushed immediately, looking down at himself.
Minako dabbed some powder to his cheeks, looking pleased, then pulled a nylon net over his head.
“You’re really good at this,” he mumbled thoughtfully.
“Thanks!” she beamed, then winked. “Finally some trust!”
“I wouldn’t go so far,” he chuckled.
She threw him a pointed look, but a smile was dancing over her lips, and she tucked all his hair into the net, then took a razor to his sideburns and the back of his neck. He didn’t even stiffen anymore.
“Just think of me as your mother tonight!” she beamed.
Rei dramatically rolled her eyes. “Minako, you are not a Drag Queen. You don’t get to be his drag mom.”
Minako waved her off with a tsk, but flapped a long dark wig over his head.
When it was done, even he had to blink at his reflection.
It was… actually kind of good? The long dark hair suited him, the smokey eyes and contour kinda…too?
“You know,” Minako commented. “You look a bit like Rei like this.”
“You really, really do,” Usagi hushed, quite breathlessly, quite wide-eyed, cheeks way too flushed, and he couldn’t help but lift his eyebrows at her in the reflection of the mirror.
He really didn’t know what to think when she blushed even harder at that…
“Shoes!” Minako cried happily, interrupting that thought, and presented him with a pay of pretty much sky high transparent peep toes, with a red sole and… and… were those roses in the platforms?!  “I have your slippers, princess,” she said with a smirk.
He looked at them as if she was waving a pair of guns at him. 
“Are you expecting me to be able to walk in that?” he asked incredulously.
She threw him a look of utter annoyance. “Just try, for god’s sake. This isn’t science.”
And so he sighed again, but strapped himself into seven inch shoes with roses in them.
When he got up, Usagi’s hand directly there to clutch his and help him up, he was surprised he could actually somewhat walk on them. 
“You know…” he said, surprised and looking down, “this isn’t actually so bad?”
Minako beamed with pride.
“If I don’t have to actually, you know, walk…?”
Another tsk and dismissive wave of Minako’s hand. “Just hang on to the pole. You’ll be fine.”
“A pole?!”
“Ahh, don’t worry, Just swing around a little on it. Try to look sexy.”
“WHAT?!”
“Like you wanna fuck the audience. Ya know? Look at them like you look at Usagi when she’s yelling something obnoxious at you.”
“MINAKO?!”
And so, about an hour later, mic in his fake cleavage and dick taped to his ass and looking like a Queen, he stood in front of an open stage door with a mission to fulfill.
“Let’s do this then,” he said with one last sigh.
“Yas Queen!” Makoto shouted amusedly, and shut up with a barely contained chuckle at his withering look.
“Showtime!” Minako cried ecstatically, and shoved him down the stage door. “Don’t get killed!”
He sighed again, but got to it.
Minako pressed her fist to her heart. “I am so proud of my daughter,” she beamed, wiping away a fake tear.
“You are NOT HIS MOTHER,” Rei cried again in frustration.
And no one really commented the fact that Usagi kind of really, really seemed to like her fiancé in that get-up.
Eventually, he actually kinda killed it? Before the homophobic monster attacked, of course, and blew it all to smithereens. But even then, Domina Masque looked like quite a stunner throwing those roses.

interrupting moose
-
08:09
adam’s facial expressions look so much like dean’s
-
08:11
for some reason i was just watching dean say “i didn’t wanna jinx it” and looking at his eyelashes and then involuntarily imagined him wearing rowena’s fake lashes
it was a good look
-
dean looks so, sooo pretty in this blue shirt
maybe blue for cas’ eyes
-
08:17
cas says to micheal “your father is certainly not who you knew” but not “our father” as in chuck is no longer his father
-
“you called me assbutt and set me on fire”
yeah pretty much iconic, no?
-
oohh jeez poor michael, poor adam
sent to hell, comes back and is aggressively greeted by the same assholes who sent him there
-
dean put a black armour jacket over his vulnerable blue one to talk to adam

*edit* ............hey. heyheyheyhey does anyone remember those promo posters from season 8 of dean poking his head out around a tree in purgatory and there was a flower there?? and as far as i know we never actually saw the flower in canon and it was Weird? foRESHADOWING or ?????? hindshadowing?
-
no michael’s not coming on your gay flower road trip, dean
no third wheel this time thank u
TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED PLEASE
-
michael is literally just....sending dean and cas to pick flowers together
-
08:41
it’s over
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS 10/10 THAT WAS GREAT 
I LOVE THE SETUP FOR WHERE THIS IS GOING
rowena as queen of hell 15/10 best thing that ever happened on this show
adam getting his apology and peaceing out yes good
SENDING DEAN AND CAS TO PICK FLOWERS IN FUCKING PURGATORY THE LAND OF THEIR YEAR OF PINING HELL YES
i love how self-referential this whole story has become and it’s so GOOD to have all these loose ends come back to hopefully be tied up one by one
i just....... i just checked the writer for this episode and i AM AMAZED it’s a deadly duo episode??????????????????????  H O W
bechdel test pass?? holy shit (well...... i doubt this now but still)
only woman who died was lilith and she was awful
unless you count sue but i don’t think sue was real to begin with
and there was a black guy.... with lines.... who didn’t die??? astonishing
also the pacing was like... good or whatever. at least i didn’t think it was patchy like their episodes usually are. and the script wasn’t bland and boring ?? what is happening here
PLUS ROWENA POINTING OUT THAT THERE’S soMethING GoiNg On between dean and cas which draws attention to it for later resolution, despite the audience already knowing they had a tiff
colour me impressed, anyway

Aniplex Fugou Keiji Livestream | Fugou Keiji 2 | Kitsutsuki 2 - 4 | Arte 3 - 12 (FINAL) | Fruits Basket 27 - 32
During the Millionaire Detective: Unmissable livestream (part of FunimationCon and Aniplex Online Fest), I watched and took notes, so you might find these handy upon retrospect. To be honest, this is how I do the posts for magicalgirlsandcerulean’s livestreams as well, but there hasn’t been one of those in a while...
Otherwise, these are all normal notes.
Aniplex Fugou Keiji Livestream
Look out for the dancer from the OP
Onuki was the model for the dancing for the anime – he was told to do it out of the blue
Episode 11 might have one of these^ be relevant
Daisuke’s cup ramen has shark fin in it and he made the packaging from scratch – that’s why it’s so expensive!
The director Tomohiko Ito omits important information, allowing people to decide for themselves what happened. (Miyano) – This might be why the series is stylish. (MC)
Attractiveness of character design is important! (for adapting Fugou Keiji to modern day)
I’ve never watched a livestream where the stars were so conscious of their English and Chinese audiences! This was interesting, especially because Onuki is not normally known as a VA!
“We still have a little bit of recording to do.”
Fugou Keiji 2
I keep misunderstanding my own instructions…this starts again in July after ep 2.
Todai = Tokyo Daigaku (Uni).
I believe this is the 2nd time I’ve seen a rich person like commoner’s instant noodles, although I forget where I saw the 1stinstance.
Kambe switched to the back seat now, huh?
Ah! Now I remember! The first time was seeing spoilers for this episode on Twitter! (LOL)
I see Suzue has a sensible naming scheme for her data.
Hmm…judging by the Google hits, the name visible in the background (Betbeto bin Abura) is the Arabic prince from last time.
SYN-ACK. I see these guys did their work – that’s the final stage of the 3 stage handshake required for things like internet sockets (used to send “packets” of data).
Way to crash a party, Kambe siblings…(LOL)
I really wanna see someone draw Kato slapping (Daisuke) Kambe in the face with a wad of cash…or a “shut up and take my money” meme with Kambe in it.
I like how “special cup ramen” is on the purchases list and it costs 100000 yen. I also like how the reporter Mita was bought out for 5000000 yen (bigger than all the other individual costs except for buying out the Tower)…that’s how he showed up.
Kitsutsuki 2
I gotta finish this show and then pause it…3 shows in my normal lineup are safe.
Did Kindaichi take the bones of the fish out for Ishikawa…? Like a child would have had done for them?
Why is Ishikawa being referred to as “Hajime”…?
Draw this prostitute like one of your French girls…(LOL?)
Ishikawa clearly dropped those coins into that book earlier.
Way to diss the potential asexuality/celibacy in the house. I mean, it’s the 1800s – early 1900s, so there was less LGBTIQ+ stuff then and certainly the further back you go, the more sexual prowess becomes a sign of masculinity, but still, if the guy doesn’t want to go through with it, don’t force him.
Notice how the borders were pink for Ishikawa’s version and blue for Kindaichi’s.
Notably, Otaki didn’t seem to have that hairpin…but maybe that’s because we saw things from Ishikawa’s perspective.
Ooh…who are these bois? Also, crab.
Kitsutsuki 3
…cat? Now there’s a new perspective. That’s like saying the butler did it.
Yay! Hagiwara is Ume!
Notice Hagiwara’s version has a purple frame, while Yoshii (?) has yellow and another person has dark blue.
I think “consumption” was tuberculosis, once upon a time.
I love how the crowd is fed up with Ishikawa’s bulls***.
Ooh, chuuni Akutagawa…
In a Grove is the Rashomon story.
Tarou Hirai = Rampo Edogawa.
You stalker, future Rampo!
I kinda suspected Otaki when I thought through the possibilities…Ishikawa, Kindaichi, an outsider, Otaki (and as of this ep, Rampo too).
Gaiheikan? Is that Ishikawa and co.’s lodging?
Did they have pencils back in that day?
Kitsutsuki 4
Humouresques.
Kabayaki.
I think it was in Detective Conan that I learnt (one of) the only way(s) a man can get his nails done is by his wife doing it for him, possibly as a prank or to indicate he’s “taken”. Note this was early Detective Conan, so it’s very much a 90s attitude…considering the widespread acceptance of drag queens and the LGBTIQ+ movement these days.
Kozukata.
Lace flower.
Maichou seems to be a hybrid of Asahi Shinbun and Mainichi Shinbun.
[Monkfish/dictionary/going home] - Is this how Ishikawa shows consideration…?
The purple letterrboxing is back but this time with Ishikawa…meaning that’s just an aesthetic thing for all flashbacks after all.
Just from vaguely hearing it (I’ve got the volume on low), the words are nodo tsuki/nodo zuki. “Throat moon/throat wound” works just as well, if not better.
Balsam flower.
Update: Since enough anime fulfilled the special COVID-19 criteria, Kitsutsuki was put on hold after this.
Fruits Basket 2 2 (27)
I’ve read Another, remember?…so I kind of know what happens.
Uo’s got purple nails…that’s surprisingly cute of her.
Aw, Kureno! Another Ume role!
Why is “shisho” (master) not translated…? A weird Tokyopop-era translation quirk?
Aw, Shisho cut his hair…? Bummer.
Who was that? Shigure…?(!) Update: We find out his name later in this ep.
“If you continue to change, I’ll continue to protect you.” – Another quote for the archive.
Great…I feel personally called out by this ep.
Fruits Basket 2 3 (28)
It seems all male designers wear their designs if they have no one else to wear them…at least, that’s what I’ve gathered from Hajime (Runway de Waratte) and Ayame.
I remember Ayame stood in for Yuki’s parents in the manga at one point. This must be it.
(Spoilers for later!) I also remember Mine and Ayame get married at the end…This is the prelude to that.
Dang, Ayame, you moment-ruiner!
Fruits Basket 2 4 (29)
Did anyone in the doorway hear about Hatsuharu turning into an ox?
To quote Sailor Mercury, “Douse yourself in water and repent!”
Ooh, window splitting Yuki and Haru. Nice cinematography going on here.
I bet all people think they only think about themselves, in one way or another.
Arashiyama tofu.
Yatsuhashi are great. They’re these sweet triangle things like samosas that come in various flavours. Mitarashi dango are sticky brown skewered balls of glutinous rice…which I’ve never had, but I’ve seen them in enough anime to know what they are.
I only just realised this, but Yuki’s hairstyle isn’t even on both sides, like Atsushi from BSD’s.
Huh…you can see a copy of Mogeta and Ari (as it turns out, “Ari” is the name of a character and not “ant” at all in this case) on Haru’s bed. There’s also an article in one of the magazines discussing how denim is the popular thing now and which types are in right now.
Fruits Basket 2 5 (30)
I realised Yuki isn’t calling Tohru by her first name – he’s going against Haru’s advice.
Hmm? Why should anyone ask a rabbit to hold their horses…? (LOL)
CGI cars…*sigh*
Tororo is grated yam, IIRC.
I learnt recently that nanban means “savage” or “uncivilised”…for a potato and chicken dish, the name and the contents don’t really match…Update: Nanban means “savage” (noun) or “barbarian”. Close enough.
17-26…age gap 9 years…yikes…
The words “(a happy, yet) caged bird” come to mind when Kureno describes himself. Also, Kureno is an Ume role! Yippee!
Ahh…young love…even if it has a bit of an awkward edge to it. Mind the (age) gap!
Me being the Ume stan, of course I want to hear those sweet nothings in his voice, even if it has to be via a proxy like Uotani…I wouldn’t be an Ume stan if I didn’t.
…Ah, I see. Uotani reminds me of Minare from Wave and vice versa.
Oh, I just remembered Akito is 20 or thereabouts. Kureno/Akito is only a bit more legal than Uotani and Kureno.
Arte 3
Notice Leo never once uses Arte’s name in the lady’s presence. Her name does have some infamy to it, after all.
“She’s got some guts.” – You say that at a live dissection…LOL.
Is this love~? What’s the age gap between Leo and Arte, anyway? Update: We know for sure Arte is older than 13…that’s it.
Make the things you want prominent with perspective and such. I thought that much was obvious, but for someone straightforward like Arte, I guess it ain’t so. (Maybe it’s because I’m self-taught to some degree when it comes to art.)
*sketching by candlelight* - You’re gonna ruin your eyes, Arte!
Arte, ma girl! You’re getting’ a raise! Good job!
Arte 4
Anime makes this courtesan stuff sound like a host club…(?)
I thought Leo was saying “Aria” for a second instead of Arte, LOL. I’m getting too used to that being my alias…
Arte 5
The speech bubble said “so annoying I could die”.
Arte 6
The video’s gone all pixelated…at least, the subs have…
I bet she’s going to fall over…Update: Nup, she didn’t.
Arte 7
I thought Yuri was a Russian name…or a Japanese one.
This is basically Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine all over again! (LOL)
I thought Yuri would be pushy…like, “Here’s an offer you can’t refuse.” That kind of thing. Likewise, I didn’t think Arte would refuse.
Leo? *dun-dun-DUN!*
Siena is apparently in Tuscany. Also, I did see the Silent Manga Audition page had a chapter on a pregnant woman, so this is ch. 17 or thereabouts.
Is Ruthanna not getting the money because she’s pregnant…?
Epidemic? The Black Death?...Speaking of which, Arte is very much of that ganbaru spirit. By being progressive for her time, she becomes ordinary in our time.
Ohhhhhhh! It’s a reverse harem in progress here!...This would be a good otome game, come to think of it. It’s framed the same way.
Leo can be surprisingly childish at times, don’t you think?
Arte 8
…Really? She fell overboard? *raises eyebrow*
Ooh, china (with and without capitalisation).
Is this another sarcastic child…? Oh, bother. Still, I can see why Hamefura crossed over with Arte now…Katarina vs. Catarina!
Arte 9
Bigoli is a type of pasta, as can be guessed from context.
The kanji for the episode title literally translate to “bad child”! Like the Tones and I song, LOL!
Mikata (ally).
Arte 10
This episode is giving off a Katarina x Gimo ship vibe…but with how young they are, I’m not sure I should ship it. They’re 6, aren’t they…?
Oh, you can see Katarina and Sofia’s hug in one of the ED frames.
Arte 11
Arte’s let her hair grow out…
An Italian man…bowed. In Renaissance Italy. Now I understand what all the ANN complaints are for.
What’s up with that kid’s face…? *grumbles*
Leo’s just being Leo, I see.
That’s right, Angelo and Leo never met.
Instead of a father or a brother overly cherishing his daughter, it’s the uncle…I never thought I’d see the day I saw something like that.
Arte 12 (FINAL)
Is this like Orientalism, but with gender…? (What would you call that?)
Lemme guess…Leo is working on the church mural and so he’s away?
Was that Leo, in the middle of the mural somewhere…?
Another Japanese bow in this anime, which is set in Italy.
But where is Arte herself in that mural?
Fine = end.
Fruits Basket 31
The word Momiji is using is “hisso” or something like that. Hissho is secretary, so the translator made it “secret getaway” to make it work.
That hat! *laser stare*
*one of the textbooks has “high school chemistry” on it* Tohru can do chemistry?! I suck at chemistry!
The episode title is translated as “Are you really this stupid?” It seems the real line for that was “Are you an idiot?”
Something about high school girls appeared in my head when Haru mentioned Shigure wanting to see Tohru in her tight swimsuit…*mumbles grumpily about pervs*
Kyo’s not wet, even though he got in the water! Amazing!
I think it’s sad that Tohru responds to “stupid girl” like it’s her own name.
“…that makes you suspect me?” seems better.
The Akito and Shigure age gap is somewhere between 6 and 8 years, IIRC.
Fruits Basket 32
Tohru switched from okaasan (mother) to okattekita (a formal past tense verb meaning either “bought”, “lent” or “won” based on the characters…which I don’t have a reference for). I assume because it was so off the mark, the subbers chose a similarly off the mark word.
“When I was a kid, I thought watermelons would sprout in my stomach if I ate the seeds.”
We only know about Kyo’s dad so far…hmm…what about the mother? Update: (TW: suicide) I think it was at this point we already knew that Kyo’s mother didn’t love him and committed suicide, but it’s not certain until later.
Why do doctors always use scalpels and syringes as weapons…? I mean, even Jakurai’s symbol in ARB is a syringe!
I’ve been wondering…how big is the Sohma family? Is it diluted enough that Haru and Rin can love each other without genetic problems for their child/ren? (From Another, I would say the answer is “yes”, but shoujo normally doesn’t care about this sort of thing, which is why I ask in the first place.)
Shigure seems like the type to say, “U mad, bro?”
The mansion looks like the one in Haruhi Suzumiya, if I remember the appearance of that one correctly.

Tumblr media
1. what does your muse smell like?  realistically she stinks bc it’s the early 1800s and daily baths weren’t a thing yet but we say fuck realism on this blog & natasha showers. also, although she’s definitely not as much of a francophile as many other russian elites were in her time, natasha has taken a liking to some of the more french perfumes that her grandparents occasionally send her so she often smells vaguely of assorted flowers. 
2. what does your muse’s hands feel like?  soft-ish. she uses lotions/creams daily and doesn’t do much that involves her overworking her hands. but still she plays piano, plays rough, and does a lot of dumb stuff that would affect how her hands feel. and russia is cold, so they dry out often and probably wouldn’t be crazy soft. 
3. what does your muse usually eat in a day?  her family, although they are, again, russian elites, aren’t as into french culture as many other familes were. a lot of the food they ate on a normal day is traditional russian stuff with french twists so its ~fancy~– so lots of beets, starchy stuff, A LOT of tea... like samovar always open and ready, drink out of fancy samovar thats only meant to be ornamental amounts of tea. and they had money so probably a lot more meaty stuff that the average peasant/serf (i forget what they were called in russia). but when guests are over, which is rlly often, she does have a lot more of the same food and more stuff that would’ve been french so a lot of pastries... a snail maybe? pheasant? i haven’t done all my research on this but yeah. beets, starch, tea, meat, DESSERT.
4. does your muse have a good singing voice? technically it’s a flawed voice but it’s charming in a very listenable way... and mind you, she’s been taught classically, but she would very much be a novice in the realm of opera, which would have been closer the type of singing that people would expect from her. it’s not a very mature voice, which is part of the problem, and it’s not particularly high so she’s not really impressing anyone with skill, but rather with her tone and honestly her stage presence. natasha has a way of making you want to listen when she sings. so does she have a good singing voice? yeah, it’s not bad at all. but you don’t really ask natasha to sing because you think she’s going to blow you away, you ask natasha to sing because she’s a joy to watch. 
5. does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks? natasha finds herself in a lot of. not-so-great relationships & friendships. ultimately it has a lot to do with the fact that she can be a bit of a difficult person to be in a relationship with... natasha kinda commands a lot of attention and needs a lot of confirmations that the people she surrounds herself with still love her and still want to spend time with her. and she clings to the past wayyy too much. her nervous tick is straight up crying anytime she feels anything close to nervousness.
6. what does your muse usually look like/wear? oh yeah she likes the fashionable french stuff with the super high waistlines and buns, but she likes it when her mom and sonya add russian patterns to them and make them look more folksy. she wears white because all women wore white back then, it was super in style. but she’ll also wear light & pastel versions of other colors, especially yellow, beige-ish colors. the most vibrant things you’ll see on her is flowers somewhere in her outfit or hair and the designs. this doesn’t apply to some other verses, like the modern verse, where she’s rlly into that girly instagram girl kinda dress where the clothes are all flowy and flowery and colorful, the tsarina verse where shes literally a queen so she obv. wears way more white as well as more expensive things like bright colored dresses & crowns & such, and the unofficial time travel verse that exists in my head with @tiimedtm​ where natasha wears jason’s clothes bc she cant wear napoleanic stuff in like. the future. 
7. is your muse affectionate? how much? how so? HELL YEAH BAEBEE ITS HER #1 TRAIT. she’ll always reach for hands, faces, waists just to be touching someone. natasha’s big on eye contact too, which might be weird for some people but feels really intimate for her. she’s always gonna be the one to reach in for kisses or for a hug... almost always a little spoon & will force the other person to grab her tight but if she is a big spoon she’ll fucking suffocate someone with closeness. when natasha’s with people, she’s really with people.  partly cause she’s all horned up but i’m not going into it for reasons including the law, creepiness, and also i dont want to. 
8. what position does your muse sleep in? on her side depending on which is least cold, two pillows under her head, one in her arms. she used to have to share a bed with sonya so she got used to sleeping on her side because otherwise she would definitely starfish out and push sonya off the bed. 
9. could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room? YES.

New Year with the band; Queen x reader
Hello people of Tumblr and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I was hoping to have had this done last night but time got away from me so I finished it this morning and so for my first fic of 2019 I present to you another part of my Rock Angel series. This is a pre-Rock Angel fic right here so this is counted before “Set it all free” when you the reader are still the intern to Miami. And after seeing Bohemian Rhapsody for the 2nd time last night, I just had to do this fic and I may have another chapter up soon, hopefully. Anyways I hope 2019 is a great year for everyone and that everyone stayed safe after last night and are taking care of themselves post-New Year celebration.
Warnings: None except for INSANE FLUFFY FEELS.

_____________________________________________________
*December 31st, 1980*
This has been a crazy three months and here I am in Freddie Mercury’s house with a whole bunch of strangers plus the rest of the band and their wives to ring in the New Year.  Of course Adam didn’t want to come even though I tried to convince him to come, but he said that he was just too cool to be around a band like Queen.
It was 15 minutes till midnight and 1981 would soon be here.  I was at the food table trying to get a second plate of brownies and basically fill up on sugar to keep myself awake.  Most of the people were already hammered beyond anything else so I had to walk over some of their unconscious bodies till I finally reached the guys.
“Ahh there’s our best girl!” Freddie praised at he held his glass up almost as if he were giving a toast.
“Oh stop it Fred, I literally just saw you five seconds ago.”
“Five very long seconds.” He whined as I playfully shoved his shoulder.
“Isn’t that your second batch of sweets already?” asked Brian.
“Sugar keeps me up, otherwise I’d be asleep in the corner hours ago after all that I’ve been through this semester.” I said.
“But I thought you loved us? Guess we were nothing but a stress factor to you then huh?” Deacy snapped clearly teasing me as I noticed a glimmer of mischief in his eyes.
“No, no, no, no don’t you guilt me Deacy! You know I love you guys! This has literally been the best semester I’ve had, I just can’t believe in a couple more months I’ll be done and then I won’t see you guys till your next tour before Miami clears my internship credit.”
“I can’t believe you’ll be leaving us after our tour, I feel like you should stay here with us even after the tours done. I’d miss you too much darling.” Freddie said as he leaned over and hugged me close to him before kissing my cheek.
“In all seriousness love, maybe you should cut back on the sweets, you’ll crash faster if you keep eating sugar, take some of these,” he then handed me a couple of his celery sticks and baby carrots. I looked at him with a ‘seriously’ look as I said.
“Really? Veggies Bri?”
“Less you want cavities for the new year I suggest you eat those. Otherwise I’ll have Dr. Taylor here take a look at your mouth since he studied dentistry.”
“Wait for real?” I asked as I turned around and faced him.
“This whole time we’ve known each other and you never once bothered to listen to what I did in school. Really (y/n) what kind of friend are you?” Roger said in a mocked hurt tone.  I threw my baby carrot at him which made all of us laugh and we continued to chat till the midnight hour drew closer.
Time sure does go by when you’re having fun with friends because now as everyone gathered to watch the ball drop live from New York City. We were just 2 minutes away to ring in the New Year and as everyone began the countdown, the anticipation was growing as it got closer and closer.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!!” Everyone cried out as horns were blown, confetti was thrown in the air and couples kissed each other to ring in the New Year.  Bri, Rog and Deacy kissed their wives to celebrate the new year, Freddie was off god knows where by now meanwhile I just sat there alone.
I sure wish Adam was here to ring in the New Year.  I mean he used to be romantic at first at the start of our relationship, always buying my flowers and leaving little poems every time he’d leave the flat, but now for some reason he thought the romantic gestures were too corny and lame for him all of a sudden, could threaten the new “Rock” image he’s been trying out.
So I secretly knew even if I did bring him, he wouldn’t go for a New Year’s kiss.  Which sucked because the believer of romance that I am, I always thought sharing a kiss with the person you loved, meant you’d have a full successful relationship in the years to come.
At least that’s what I always saw in my parents every New Years.
I sighed solemnly and decided to stop out of the craziness of the party and just have a moment to myself.  I sat along outside in the garden of Freddie’s house along the bench and just stared up into the sky.
“Happy New year mum and dad. I sure wish you could be here to see it.” I said to myself solemnly.
“Something wrong love?” I heard Deacy’s voice say. I turned around and saw the guys standing behind me all looking at me with concern.
“No, not really. At least anything serious.” I said.
“You sure?” They all came and sat around me. Deacy to my left, Brian to my right, Roger sitting in front of me and Freddie standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders every now and then squeezing them assuringly or massaging them.
“Yes, I promise guys nothing’s wrong just….missing my parents is all.”
“While we can see that’s true, there’s something else going on too. You got a little awkward once people started kissing each other, is this because of Arsehole?” Roger said.  I looked at him and said.
“His name’s Adam Rog,”
“Is there a difference?” he questioned. I scoffed at him shaking my head softly.
“I don’t know guys, I thought that maybe I could for the first time get a New Year’s kiss with the first boy whom I’ve ever allowed into my heart ever since my parents died. Oh if only you guys first knew him you’d know he was romantic like you lot are, but lately he’s just called off anything that could damage his ‘badass hard rock exterior’. I don’t know, maybe I’m just a sap.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being a romantic. Neither gender should feel shame for being or hoping for a little romantic gesture in their life. Take me for example, the best guitarist of the greatest band. Makes his wife breakfasts in bed even when it’s not Mother’s Day or her birthday. I do it because I love her.” Brian said.
“And me, silent bassist John Deacon. I wrote ‘You’re my best friend’ for Veronica. Because that’s who she is and will always be to me. Not just the love of my life, but also my greatest and most treasured friend.”
“And even though we’ve broken off the engagement, Mary will still always be the love of my life. No matter what, which is why I wrote Love of my life for her, because that is who she is and will always be to me. Even though we’re no longer romantically involved with each other.” Said Freddie.
“And even though I’ve gained the reputation for ‘bad drummer boy of Queen’, for Dominque I’m willing to do anything for her. Whether its treating her to a spa day or even a day off from the kids.”
“And that’s what makes your wives and Mary so lucky to have met guys like you. I….just wish I had that guy now.”
“You will love, one day.” Deacy said as he gently placed his hand on the top of my shoulder and gently stroked it with his thumb.
“Until then you still got us, in fact.” Freddie cupped my face and had me look up at him and he kissed both my cheeks and continued, “Consider that your New Year’s kiss from me to you, darling angel.” I smiled up at him as he released my face from his hands.  I then felt my head turn towards Deacy and he said.
“Happy New Year poppet, here’s my kiss from me to you.” He then kissed my temple before I felt him lean his face against mine giving me an additional butterfly kiss. He backed away as Brian said.
“Don’t forget about me,” I turned towards him and he cupped my face much like Freddie did. He first leaned in and gave me a soft Eskimo kiss as his forehead touched mine which always made me feel safe and loved. He then gingerly kissed the center of my forehead and it was then I turned to Roger.
He grinned up at me and said.
“You know the drill, get into these arms you little imp.” I grinned at him before getting off the bench and hugged Roger. His strong arms wrapped around me instantly giving me a big, warm bear hug as I liked to secretly call them.
I felt him repeatedly kiss the top of my head and felt him rub my back.  But then I felt him starting to poke and lightly pinch around my sides, oh shit not again!
“Rog no!”
“No you’ve ended last year with a frown, when you should’ve been smiling. So that’s my first New Year’s resolution, to get you to smile.” He said with a mischievous grin as he kept tickling me. I squirmed around trying to escape Roger’s grip but it was iron clamped.
“Rog….stohahahp!”
“Nah I don’t think so.” He said as he kept tickling me.
“You know Rog, I think you and I are sharing the exact same resolution.” Deacy say.
“No! Nohohoh Deacy don’t…..NOO!!” Soon I had both Roger and Deacy tickling me.
“For being total opposites, seems they’ve agreed on one thing.” I could hear Brian say.
“Indeed.” Stated Freddie.  
“But who says they get to have all the fun?” suggested Brian.  As I kept trying to escape from both Rog and Deacy, suddenly I felt four more pair of hands start to tickle me.
“Guhahahahys stohahahahhap you’re kihihihihlling me!!!”
“Will you start off the New Year with a smile little angel?” Freddie asked.
“YES!! YEHEHEHESS!! JUST PLEHEHEHEASE STOHAHAHP!!” And with that the tickling ceased.  I panted heavily trying to regain my breathing and I said, “You guys are devils I swear.”
“Well that was rather rude darling.” Freddie said.
“Does that require punishment lads?” Brian asked.
“I say it does.” Stated Roger.
“Agreed.” Said Deacy.  The four of them looked at me ready to start tickling me again when I shouted.
“No! No! No! No! No I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Okay I’m sorry I surrender!” They all smirked at me laughing softly.  I then looked at them and said, “Thanks for cheering me up though guys.”
“No problem love, we’re always here for you when you need us.” Brian said as he gently stroked my hair.
“Happy New Year, my four best boys.”
“Happy New Year, our little rock angel.” Freddie said. I smiled at them and I went up to them and the four of them brought me to the center once more but instead of a tickle attack, it was a Queen group hug.  
1980 was a roller coaster year for me, but the best thing that came out of it was the fact that a girl like me, an ordinary college intern music student got to call the biggest band in all of History, my family.
Hell I can’t even imagine what 1981 was going to bring that could make this year seem just like any ordinary year.
