hi tansypaws (or wren) i wanted to ask what are your favorite albums/artists? i really liked that something wild album that you suggested once so i’m curious if you got anything more 👀
ohohohoho do i have favorite albums and artists!!!
number one guy for me rn is jeff rosenstock! most recent album hellmode is a work of art but also so is all of his stuff (i am deeply biased and have been listening to him for like a decade now??). no dream is my fav of his, but worry was also critically acclaimed. he’s more punk-y and ska-y than radhos but also very good
los campesinos! is i think somewhat known amidst the wc community (and it looks like they’re planning on putting something new out soon???? idk) but they’ve been a fav for years and years. love all their stuff but we are beautiful, we are doomed is prob my fav album of theirs. all their albums are fantastic tho
and then just some other bands i enjoy but remember sports, charly bliss, hop along, oso oso, macseal, cayetana, adult mom, halfnoise, dazey and the scouts, catbite…….the list goes on LOL

what kind of music/artists/bands do you think the scooby gang + the originals would listen to in the early seasons?
OH OH OH
well we know from canon that even without humanity, damon can & will listen to taylor swift without complaint. even though he’s perfectly capable of compelling a music change.
& he listens to depeche mode so he’s automatically cool.
i think the salvatores have very wide tastes, but not much overlap. stefan loves bon jovi to an unhealthy degree, and would probably have been a BIG beach boys fan back in the day. he’s totally over it now though, those records in his cupboard are purely decorative!! damon would love ABBA, head over heels reminds him of katherine & he uses it to outsource his emotions in his no humanity era. stefan tolerates it for lexi’s sake (damon thinks it’s unfortunate that he and lexi have similar music taste. it’s probably the only thing he likes about her). also the cure.
i think stefan cries to bon iver’s ‘roslyn’.
both stefan and damon would be into stevie nicks & florence + the machine & paramore & david bowie (damon in fact knew him rather well back in the seventies…) but in totally different ways. damon loves anthems & grooves, discordant sounds and triplet beats, while stefan digs a good beat & steady rhythm. with a fabulous guitar riff ofc.
bonnie is also a big paramore girly. also hozier. i think she and damon bond over similar music tastes.
caroline listens to taylor swift (fearless is her fav, red & 1989 are 2&3), one direction, jonas brothers, miley, britney etc. she bullies politely asks jeremy to let her use his tech stuff to make her own mixes. she also has a hot pink boombox that she takes to every cheer practice. it’s covered in stickers that won’t come off no matter how hard she tries. yes, vampire strength has been applied.
elena spent the three months between the crash & stefan blasting dean lewis in her bedroom. hozier, bon jovi to seem cool to stefan, janis joplin, probably some british pop like dexys midnight runners, ed sheeran, bastille. but that’s a secret she’ll take to her grave.
jeremy listens to 21 pilots, mcr, p!atd, bleachers (later seasons tho. don’t think they existed til 2015 or something), the neighbourhood, arctic monkeys, fallout boy, etc. probably listens to sheppard on repeat. geronimo just really speaks to him, okay?! absolutely does not copy damon’s taste in music, that’s just a coincidence!!! he’s also the source of elena’s secret love for british pop.
matt listens to elevator music. nah he just plays whatever’s on the radio. my truck is my girlfriend & my dog has fleas kind of country music? idk.
tyler has all of those mix cds like sofresh, each 00s / 90s genre, really does not care what he listens to as long as he can nod his head along.
alaric listens to 80s rock in a dad way & whatever damon plays because damon has dj rights everywhere & will push his way onto the aux.
not really in the gang but katherine listens to male manipulator music. and female manipulator music like ethel cain, fiona apple, etc.
the originals?
klaus listens to smooth jazz. and instrumental covers. he’ll text stefan a link to the lamest love song ever (instrumental) with the caption ‘this is our song’.
kol also listens to smooth jazz, but in a cool way. as well as 00s pop. he and rebekah fight over who discovered what song first. he would absolutely LOVE musicals. has the glee & hamilton soundtracks on his little ipod. BOY BANDS OMG kol has a backstreet boys poster confirmed. also 90s-00s hip hop / rap / pop hybrids. especially nelly furtado.
OH OH THE SHREK SOUNDTRACK. that’s his jam fr fr.
rebekah is a speak now girly through and through. ‘innocent’ is literally her song. she’s just so taylor swift. she would LOVE suki waterhouse, but that’s not for another few years. OH WAIT REBEKAH’S CANONICALLY ALIVE IN 2024. she absolutely listens to chappell roan and it DEFINITELY does not make her think of hayley, why would you say that???
elijah listens to eight hour long symphonies and concertas, but won’t complain if one of the others is hogging the aux. he will not be so childish as to dagger his siblings over music disputes, (klaus), or break their arms (rebekah), thank you very much. he only demands control of the music when damon’s trying to seduce him (succeeding), because elijah knows how to woo & be wooed in return. that includes the romantic playlist. also, damon has a very annoying habit of singing along & playing air guitar when the bridge hits just right, usually whilst there is a cock in his ass.
finn likes renaissance fair music. he considers it to be contemporary, as he was daggered during this period.
#tvd#the vampire diaries#the originals#headcanons#tvdu#mikaelsons#damon salvatore#stefan salvatore#bi damon salvatore#elijah mikaelson#klefan#delijah#haybekah#klaus mikaelson#mystic falls#scooby gang#rebekah mikaelson#kol mikaelson#finn mikaelson#caroline forbes#bonnie bennett#elena gilbert#jeremy gilbert#alaric saltzman#tyler lockwood#matt donovan#katherine pierce#music#i wish i could make a segmented playlist. like a cluster of playlists within one. and i could mute the characters i don’t wanna listen to.#splatooshy

Fic idea: How might the Sides help with writer's block?
Authors note: I wrote Janus and Remus for this one!! Which is why this took a tad longer than usual lol
⚠️ Warnings ⚠️: Remus making dirty comments
👑 Roman 👑
-Oooh writers block with Roman is ALMOST non existent
-He’s creativity after all so he would come up with the most extravagant things
-Would definitely use this as an opportunity to spend time alone with you in the Mindscape place and create whatever came to mind to help inspire you
-DAYDREAM MODE ACTIVATED
-He’ll do EVERYTHING to help you beat writers block, which also gives him an excuse to be as dramatic as possible
-Aww I also feel like the moment he has an idea he doesn’t even say anything he just rushes to the nearest writing utensil and writes it down before he forgets
-Just know asking for Romans help with writers block will have you both exhausted but happy
-exhausted mainly because of all the running around and happy that you both got to do all that together
-You definitely got an idea about what to write
💙 Logan 💙
-ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT WHEN YOU ASK HIM FOR HELP WITH WRITERS BLOCK
-Obviously calm and collected on the outside but on the inside he is so darn happy
-It just makes him feel very important and will take it very seriously
-He’ll research various topics with you, look at art/pictures, take notes of things, etc.
-Expect so. much. info dumping.
-But hey it really does help with drumming up some good ideas
-By the end of it, you’ll have like more than 5 pages worth of notes to help you with your writers block
-He’ll somehow even throw out MORE ideas as he helps you write whatever it is that you’re writing
-Literally a human grammarly so he’s always pointing out where you can improve your grammar
-Likes to compliment certain parts of your work in order to keep you motivated tho
-If you drink coffee, your both probably buzzing off of the amount of caffeine you guys drank during the reasearch
🍪 Patton 🍪
-At first he’ll ask, “what’s writers block?”
-Once you explain it tho, he’ll try drumming up any ideas on how to help
-I feel like his idea of getting you inspired will be stuff like, talking a walk to maybe help clear your head or baking/ cooking something for you
-Probably takes you to his room hoping that all the nostalgic stuff he has in it will help
-He’s trying his best lol
-He’ll probably get distracted with the things in his room and has to be constantly reminded of the task at hand
-Somehow that helps?? Like seeing him organically do stuff and not trying to help you get inspired, helps with the writers block
-With Patton it just really depends if he does or says something that somehow triggers inspiration
-Gives you cookies and milk as you work once you get past writers block
💜 Virgil 💜
-Once you ask him, you both probably sit on his bed trying to think of something
-Till Virgil suggests you listen to some music that will help you
-He puts on ALL his favorite albums
-Puts on Paramore, MCR, Evanescence, and probably the soundtrack of his favorite musicals/movies
-Probably suggests watching some movies to hopefully get inspired
-Tries not to panic when it doesn’t seem to work
-But it does work since you both end up talking in depth about the movies and songs
-It ends up being a veryyyyy long conversation since he’s very passionate about his interests
-And you love listening to him
-Once you sit down and get to work on the thing you wanna write, he’s there sitting with you to help bounce ideas off one another
-Kinda like Logan, will be vibrating from the amount of coffee he’s drank
-Once you asked him to help with writers block, he helped you through the whole day
-And I mean, the whole day
-You’re just both very relieved you finally got through writers block
🐍 Janus 🐍
-“You must be truly desperate to come to me for help.”
-Ok Loki nobody asked for ur opinion
-Will reluctantly help (he would love to help he’s just being janus. he’s actually jumping with joy on the inside that you asked him for help)
-He’ll probably try telling you stories that are completely made up to hopefully get ur creative juices flowing
-Yes he goes through the effort to make up stories to tell you
-Probably will take you to the library to help research various topics
-Why not just look it up? Bc he likes the quiet atmosphere
-Not at all bc he wants to put actual effort into helping you
-He’s gonna be a diva about it tho
-Surprisingly is very keen on helping you get motivated and when you think about giving up, he simply won’t allow it
-He gets you up and running
-Probably promises to get you something as a reward for getting through writers block
-One of the few times he’s not actually lying
-Once you do come up with an idea, he’ll probably make little sassy remarks about your work
-Know he doesn’t actually mean it, he just says it on instinct
-Oh and your reward? He can’t bring himself to give it to you in person so he just leaves it somewhere he knows you’ll find it
💚 Remus 💚
-Oh gosh, you almost regret asking him for help with writers block
-Bc he will go into gremlin mode and just do the most out of pocket things ever
-“To help your creative - and other- juices flow!!” he says
-Immediately gets hit upside the head for that little comment
-But, anyways, if you need help writing some messed up stuff or something; he’s the best guy for the job
-Just imagine him being as extra as Roman but much more…disturbing
-He won’t stop making dirty jokes/comments through the whole thing
-But he surprisingly does a good job at helping you out with writers block
-Of course you both will most likely get sidetracked bc Remus is being Remus
-Just know you you’ll be both disturbed but entertained when it comes to asking Remus for help

(Tyrionyork) in your kuwtb / modern au who do you think listens to what music? Doesn't have to be artists (cause thats a lot of artists) just general genres etc
YAY love thinking of this stuff. ok i have a post from 2021 w some of my opinions i still broadly agree with:
quick disclaimer. my main opinion forever is these motherfuckers would NOT listen to mother mother or tally hall or cavetown or jack stauber or AJR. sansa MIGHT. but not a single other character would. im sorry to break the news to you. there is a HUGE difference between 'song that reminds you of character' and 'song character would listen to' and im sorry but robb stark is NOT listening to the oh hellos no matter how much you think soldier poet king fits him. doing the starks + theon send asks if u want a specific character :^)
ROBB he likes kanye west do not even fucking try and claim otherwise. he likes UK drill and all kinds of rap and 90s r&b. he listens to the top 40 when working out. the gayest thing he listens to is beyonce. i also think he likes country music (sorry.)
THEON oh everything. lots of electronic and if he's in charge of the aux cord he puts on whatever it most annoying and bad for the vibe. i do think he's a little bit lana del rey especially post-ramsay. definitely a barb just to be annoying. would never be honest about his music taste. is a dj :)
JON teen jon listens to paramore mcr etc but older jon likes tame impala and king gizzard. def an arctic monkeys/snow patrol/strokes/kooks kinda guy. im on the fence about mitski on the more dubious side. beach boys pet sounds. WEEZER AND NIRVANA.... lots of grunge. he and robb listen to wu tang and NWA together. can play guitar and did wonderwall oasis for ygritte to impress her and she was like ach canae ye listen tae good music even?
SANSA swiftie all the way. i may not like the blonde devil's music but it is undeniable that sansa is a swiftie. i think she likes pop and folk. lots of female artists :) goes to pop concerts with margaery and gets vip backstage passes cos margaery is kind of a starfucker name dropper and uses it to impress sansa on dates. can play piano and maybe also flute or violin...
ARYA everything that gives you tinnitus. heavy metal industrial noise. bonds with jon over grunge. punk and grindcore. every kind of metal you can think of. and yes she is a juggalo. she likes insane clown posse (argue with the wall) her and gendry + lommy + hot pie are in a terrible band together. plays drums FOR SURE
BRAN beatles :) psychedelic rock.... i still see him as pretentious about music 😭 listens to pink floyd The Wall high with the reeds. makes music in garageband its actually pretty good.
RICKON he is also a juggalo
#not dragging people with mother mother on their robb playlists or whatever. my theon playlist is SOOOO embarrassing#modern au#this is mostly a repost of my old post im sorry!! i just havent changed my opinion i guess LMAO it seems i do not grow as a person#asoiaf#i didnt go very far into any of the characters just a quick coupel sentences based on vibes cos otherwise this post would be miles long

anon that requested rusame here!! they were so so good omg 🤧😭 could I bother you for some fruk hcs too if you don't mind??
OF COURSE I DONT MIND bless 🙌💕 I don’t think you understand how happy it makes me that somebody asked for these
no warnings
•=======================•
- Arthur had a HUGE emo/punk phase in 09, it was like a relapse from the 80s/90s grunge thing. It wasn’t too obnoxious but mans listened to MCR and all that shit, probably put at least one of his ear piercings back in
- Arthur still has piercings from his punk phase but never wears them, only sometimes will he wear earrings. Francis loves when he does
- Francis constantly has his hair in a ponytail and if he’s feeling fancy he’ll braid it, Arthur loves it ofc
- Also. One of Francis’ favorite physical trait abt Arthur is mans face freckles ❤️
- Paramore and Elton John the ONLY artists that Francis and Arthur can listen to and agree is good without arguing
- Speaking of which Arthur can actually sing really well it’s Francis who sounds rough but after like a thousand years he really doesn’t care
- They take baths together a lot bc they’re domestic as shit
- -Arthur watches stupid British shows/movies all the time and even if they’re shit he loves them. (Sherlock, Downton Abbey, The Crown, Harry Potter, The Kingsmen, etc). If there’s any inaccuracies when it comes to history or especially how the royal court works he complains.
- Francis was the one who took Arthur to Harry Potter World in Universal. and Arthur LOOVEEDD it like he geeked out the entire time— a like 1000 year old man flipping his shit over getting to see his favorite book series irl that’s so HDHFHF 💕💕
- One of Francis and Arthur’s main pastimes is watching The Great British Bake-off and getting way too angry at it. They also watch Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef
- When I think of FrUk I just immediately think old married couple. Like they’re easily one of the softest couples but they also just bully each other and bicker over the dumbest shit
- Arthur gets so embarrassed with pda but he also is like. Down very bad for this man so he secretly loves it— like they’ve been together (off and on) for like centuries and he still blushes when holding hands and cheek kisses or whatever (StillIntoYoubyParamore.mp4)
- Francis uses petname a lot more however “Dear” and “Love” are ones they both use. Ofc Francis uses French terms of endearment like “Beau” and “Cher”
- They sleep on top of each other A LOT lmao like, shoulders and laps whatever. If they’re staying at the others home they will barge in and just flop down on the other and bam it’s nap time
- They take care of each other when they’re sick but it’s mostly just them being like “Eat your fucking soup, whore.” “Arthur it tastes like goddamn soap.” “BE GRATEFUL.”
- They both get hella nightmares bc being that fucking old comes with a lot of history and trauma blah blah, point is they’re always there to comfort each other rather it’s physical or texting/calling at 4am
- Arthur is fluent in French ofc so they kinda switch between French and English whenever
- Arthur cannot hold his fucking liquor so he gets WASTEDDDD and Francis has to babysit him, it’s the funniest shit bc Arthur’s inner child and little shitness just multiples
- They have definitely been with other nations/people but like. It’s always been just them, nobody else compares idc
- They have the exact same sense of humor and can always make each other fucking lose their shit at the absolute worst of times
- Arthur only vents to Francis and Portugal about shit
- They both have playlists that have songs that remind them of each other, and one time Francis threw together a mixtape that he called their “If We Could Get Married Mixtape”
- They’re both fucking ass at being parental figures (obviously😐)
- Francis cuts Arthur’s hair. Like he is the only person that Arthur sorta trusts to make him look hot
- Francis says I love you outloud more than Arthur but like mf shows it in different ways like acts of services and gifts and whatever. He’s just terrible with words
- They’ve probably seen each other die a lot SHHFJFJFKT, it never really hurt them on a deep level until the 1900s. That’s when their relationship started improving a lot and the like centuries of “””hatred””” began to fade
- They are and have been best friends for CENTURIES, so they’re mega fucking close. When they were like. Enemies and shit it was a whole thing of like “I despise everything about you but I would do literally anything for you to be happy, and I don’t know why”
I’m gonna make a part 2 for them when I can find more of ones I’ve made bc— I love them sm. I love PortEng too but FrUk...my beloved

Hit me with some *oddly specific* headcanons you have about the Babylon birbs. Like, they're so specific and weird, but they please you. 👀
how convenient, i was just daydreaming about them! okay, here:
JET:
he met Silver, his internet boyfriend best friend through an undertale instagram group chat and they make music together! it started as undertale fan music but they do original stuff too
he plays violin and loves it, but only a few people know since he's self conscious about playing (storm taught him bc he plays piano and cello, and jet gets in shit for not practicing dkskskdkdk)
he sings like vic fuentes... on purpose. but he makes fun of wave for her emo phase like a hypocrite xD
him and amy run a community theatre troupe because they're fucking nerds and also besties! his best role was probably connor murphy in their dear evan hansen performance, but he'd love to be in rocky horror as literally anyone
him and wave have a shared dream to start a rush cover band! storm doesn't play bass though, so they need a geddy (jet can sing for him though and is great at it! in my mind they have espio join and silver can cover the synth because espio can't play that lol)
STORM:
wants to be a nutritionist/personal coach full-time, but doesnt want to leave his siblings so even if jet tells him to, he won't go do it. instead, he just does all the babylon rogue culinary work, upkeeps their gym and sets goals for everyone, and promotes wellness :")
he wasn't raised with wave or jet initially! while their parents were more traditional to the babylonian upbringing and culture, his dad was super chill/casual with it and didn't bother with traditions, but they ultimately took wave and jet in after... events... and that's when they became siblingy!
he grew up in the prison island area (think new jersey i guess? same east coast vibes, idk i'm canadian but whatever the hell they have going on in the bronx with a splash of jersey shore)
he's REALLY into conducting (orchestra and concert band) and his muses are Hazo, Whitacre, and probably Holst and Mackey too. he's super serious about it, and if you mess with his scores he'll actually kill you! the one time he'll yell at wave or jet to shut the fuck up is if they whisper during performances
he likes wearing his feathers in a bun!!!
WAVE:
she had a strong emo phase (asking alexandria was her fave but also mcr, ptv, bmth, paramore msi, ghost town, y'know the drill) but is also a hugeeee rush fan because she's a percussionist who idolizes neil peart
she was a really good figure skater and could kill it in the olympics, but she stopped when she was younger for a lot of reasons (no one wanted to be her partner, the rogues travel a lot and she couldn't train all the time, body issues since she likes the weighroom but figure skaters have more lean muscle, etc...)
she's lonely, honestly. not really a headcanon ig but it's easy to be her friend, just listen attentively! and then she'll literally die for you
she basically adopted sonic as a younger brother, they're super close. she's like an older tails for him but also his own rouge i guess if you compare shadow and rouge's dynamic, but he also sets her free. for her birthday he got her a special wrench from soleanna and it completed her set (their tools are hard to come by but are of the best quality) and it's her most prized possesion!
she's a really good singer. REALLY good. but she doesn't sing much because ironically, she hates the attention!
#sonic analysis#the babylon rogues#my idiot bird babies#jet the hawk#storm the albatross#wave the swallow#ty bestie

What is your best advice for dealing with depression and or self harm? I have been dealing with both for a while now but it is starting to get a bit bad. Do you recommend any music or songs in particular or maybe different habits for distractions or coping?
I’m truly so glad you’re seeking help, I know how it feels and It’s great to have anything that helps, even the slightest bit of help is great. It’s definitely a really hard thing to get out of. I use music to get through a lot of things so I’ll list a few songs. Recommending songs can be a little hard too, cos it all depends on the type of genre you enjoy and if listening to sad or happy music will help you get back up off the floor for a little while. Personally, my go-to songs lately have been (this might be a little long and in no order at all)
Forest by Twenty One Pilots
The Only Exception by Paramore
Human by Jon Bellion (acoustic version)
I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys
When by dodie
Cancer by MCR or the Twenty One Pilots cover (personally I listen to the cover a lot more because of the memories it’s tied to etc.)
Taxi Cab by Twenty One Pilots
Tear In My Heart TOPXMM
When It Rains by Paramore
All I Wanted by Paramore
Misery Business by Paramore
and the entirety of After Laughter by Paramore
I like having an open opinion and taking different genres into perspective often, by searching for all kinds of musicians other than my main bands. Artists I’ve discovered by doing this are - Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, The Brobecks, Alex Turner, Cage The Elephant, HalfNoise, Harry Styles, La Dispute, Matt Maltese, Mutemath, Relient K and probably more! :)
You should definitely make your own playlist somewhere that you know will lift your mood or stop things from getting too hectic and overwhelming.
I used to play with a rubber band or hair tie on my wrist and mindlessly fidget with and twirl around my fingers but not many people recommend doing that for too long because of the risk of flicking too hard etc. The best option is to use proper fidget toys like those cute little animal stress toy things for example? They’re so cute! But there are also other/better toys you can buy online and stuff :) Alternatives I’ve seen and sometimes used instead of self-harm or to just wind down and cheer up -
stab various fruits with kebab sticks
take a cold shower
give yourself a fake tattoo
throw balls of socks at a wall
beat up a pillow
clean your room or re-organize your belongings
mindlessly scribble in a notebook
call a friend on the phone to even sit quietly and just exist together
paint your nails
hug a tree
hug a pillow
scream into a pillow
give someone a hug
point out what the clouds look like to you
stare at the sky
pretend to touch the clouds
Imagine a cat… in front of you, imagine it playing with a ball of wool or doing backflips,, whatever lol
if you have a pet.. pet it
just let yourself cry
listen to asmr
watch your favourite movie
create a safe place
hang out with friends
talk to friends
make new friends
rant to someone or in a notebook
discuss interests with someone close to you
write in a diary
make a list of things you love
write a letter to someone about how awesome they are and put a smile on their face
I hope these help! Write down some of these and add your own little things you’d like in a book or somewhere so you can look at it whenever you feel lost or not okay, so you don’t hurt yourself
You should consider trying out a couple different hobbies which you genuinely enjoy and will leave you feeling productive and genuinely good! :) Mine is music so, I just start playing the guitar when I’m stressed or drums to calm down for a bit. Drawing is also really good (it doesn’t matter if you think you cant draw.. just scribble little stick figure kittens on a piece of paper or something lol) or even writing in a journal? Anything to take your mind off things and stay a bit more positive is honestly great, even if it’s watching youtube or something? Starting a new tv series? Anything. (message me anytime for recommendations on youtubers or tv series/movies, I won’t mind helping at all! I’ll obviously be glad to help someone in need!
A couple reminders:
Make sure you go outside and look at how cool the colour of the sky is, how crazy the clouds look today, or pick some pretty flowers.. kick a rock, whatever you want! A little bit of fresh air is enough. If it’s raining or you just don’t want to go outside then try to change your setting a couple times a day to make sure you don’t feel isolated. Decorate your environment a little bit, put up some fairy lights if that’s what you like. Put a cute little cactus on a shelf? Anything that suits your interests and will make your area less bland and a teeny bit brighter. Keep your curtains open! This is kinda important :/ Not forever but at least half the time you’re awake. It’s important you see the beautiful sun and not trap yourself in a cold and dark environment :) If you can try to keep a steady sleeping schedule (i know how hard that can be so, don’t worry if you absolutely cant) Please try not to compare yourself to others, you are you and you need to take some time to start appreciate being you. I’m sure you’re a lovely person
Thank you so much for sending this ask, I’m glad you want help. If you have any further questions on anything I’ve written above or you need to chat to someone, I’m here and I’ll try my absolute best to help. You are worth my time and advice, you are worth taking this advice and bending it for your own personal ways to deal with what you’re going through
#depression#self harm mention#self care#im so glad to help#even a little bit#ask#answered#please message me if you need anything else

Voltron Music Headcanon AKA Lance and Shiro start a band
• so one day Team Voltron (finally) has a day to rest and Shiro and Lance are just sitting in the common room.
• Lance absentmindedly starts humming the beginning to a song (I personally imagine that it’s Floral and Fading by Peirce the Veil. I’m just putting that out there.)
• Shiro starts tapping along to it
• Lance starts singing the lyrics and it is BEAUTIFUL.
• Shiro’s heard Lance “sing” to annoy Keith (He chased Keith through the entire castle singing MCR horribly out of key in a Heavy Metal voice, it was as impressive as it was hilarious), but in reality, saying “Lance had the voice of an angel” is an insult to Lance. Holy quiznak, Lance can sing.
• SHIRO STARTS DOING HARMONIES
• They finish the song and Shiro pulls a General Shang being all like “You… You sing good.”
• Lance: Thanks, Shiro!
• Lance [internally]: AJSBDKSBS THIS IS GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME I AM SO BLESSED
• Lance jokingly tells Shiro that they should start a band.
• Shiro seriously thinks starting a band is a great idea.
• Lance mentions the fact that the castle wouldn’t have any instruments to use.
• “Hey Coran, would the Olkari be able to make musical instruments?”
• “Of course!”
• Lance secretly makes Coran SWEAR not to tell Allura or Keith what they’re doing.
• Shiro and Lance ask Allura to make a wormhole to Olkarion. When questioned why, Lance bullshits a detailed “explanation” as to why Lance and Shiro need to be there.
• Allura buys the whole thing and Lance and Shiro are off to Olkarion.
• “Lance, why did you lie to the Princess?”
• “Dude, you can TOTALLY use this as a way to woo her into falling in love with you!”
• “With me? I thought YOU were the one who wanted to be with the Princess.”
• “I like her and everything, but I KNOW you have feelings for her, so I’m gonna help you lock it up, dude! Bros before Hoes, right?” (In truth, Lance wants to woo Keith instead because he’s been pining for him for a while. Everybody but Keith and Shiro are aware of this.)
• “Whoa, don’t call her a hoe!”
• “Case in point!”
• They get to Olkarion and they describe the equipment they’ll need, along with additional instruments they want to have just in case (drumset, guitar, bass, mics, amps, etc.) as best as they can.
• Lance is surprisingly eloquent with the descriptions. The instruments the Olkari make are better than anything found on Earth. Lance tells the Gibson guitar company to eat their fucking hearts out
• Hunk and Pidge HAPPEN to be in the hangar when they return.
• Shiro freezes as the Green and Yellow Paladins spot him walking out of his lion with a fucking bass drum in his hands
• “Don’t tell Allura.” says Shiro looking like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus
• “…Or Keith” adds Lance sharing the same expression as the Black Paladin
• Pidge and Hunk look at each other for a moment. “Why not?” Asks Pidge.
• Lance tells them the plan of forming a band to win the affections of Keith and Allura.
• “How about we join the band and help you?” Says Hunk.
• “Deal” says Lance and Shiro in unison.
• Pidge finds a completely soundproof room in the castle and watches the security cams so they won’t get noticed by Allura. (Keith spends all his time in the training room, so he won’t be a problem)
• They successfully metal gear solid all the equipment to the room without getting caught by Allura. They spend an hour in the room rehearsing.
• Lance is on Lead Guitar and Vocals (Lance’s guitar solos are what dreams are made of.)
• Hunk is on Bass and backup vocals (okay, listen to a song with vocals only and tell me the bass guitar isn’t important you fricks.)
• Pidge is on Rhythm Guitar, Piano, and backup vocals. (MY NONBINARY SMOL IS SO TALENTED AND I LOVE THEM AND I’M DEFINITELY NOT BIASED. FIGHT ME) •side note: they also sing lead vocals for Paramore songs, which they are surprisingly good at.
• Shiro is on drums. (Shiro sweats a lot when he plays, so he doesn’t wear a shirt. He also does that thing where he twirls one of the drumsticks while he plays with one hand. Because of course he can. Space Dad can do anything.)
• Coran calls Allura and Keith to the common room
• They start playing Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low the moment Keith and Allura walk through the door.
• During the verses of the song, Lance gets up close and personal with Keith as he sings, hitting him with the smolder™ (he brings his fucking A-GAME. Puffed up chest, confident grin, the occasional hair flip, and “fuck me” eyes that gave a whole new meaning to “if looks could kill”.)
• Homosexuality, thy name is Keith.
• Shiro decides to wink at Allura, as well as mouth the words “dear Allura, count me in” during the chorus.
• rip allura
• once the song is over, Allura compliments Shiro and caNNOT STOP STARING AT HIS CHEST. She kisses him on the cheek and tells him she really enjoyed it and that they should do this more often. (Obviously, she doesn’t know that that sounds really sexual. OR DOES SHE?)
• rip shiro
• the space parents become a flustered, giggly mess. Shiro pulls her into a passionate kiss. Not only that but Allura is also pulled into his sweaty rock hard chest.
• rip allura part 2: electric boogaloo
• Keith starts violently making out with Lance, and they do that thing where they walk and make out at the same time until they get to the hangar, where Keith (who’s still getting all icky-sticky with Lance) knocks on red’s foot so she’ll open up.
• they “have a bonding moment” in the cockpit.
• Red is… Surprisingly okay with this development.
• they do the walk of shame™ back to the common room
• Lance [internally]: I have no shame. This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.
• when they return to the common room, everyone is applauding them. Because red and blue finally made purple. They finally did the mambo with their clothes off. They finally did the bedroom rodeo. They finally did whatever fucking euphemism for sex Pidge could think of.
• Hunk bakes Keith and Lance a “congrats on the sex” cake the very next day.
• this becomes a common occurrence within the castle (the performances, not the sex. Okay, also the sex. You get the point.)

thanks anon!
Blue:
what do you do when you’re sad?
listen to music from my emo/punk/hardcore/post-hardcore/metal phase. Here’s a list:
Mayday Parade’s song “I Swear This Time I Mean It” and a bunch of their other songs, but mainly off their album “a lesson in romantics” (i.e. Miserable at Best and one of the ludicrously long titled tracks).
YMAS’ “A Little Bit of Truth” or their whole discography, depending.
“Holiday” Boy Like Girls or their whole self-titled 2006 album
The whole discography of City and Colour (Dallas Green is my all time fave)
All Time Low songs, mainly: “Therapy”, “Sick Little Games”, “Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last for a Night) or, you know, their whole discography depending (though not counting half of the Future Hearts album, bc it’s so meh imo.)
“Hand Grenade”, Southern Weather”, Amazing Because It Is” (which is basically a rendition of Amazing Grace), Dirty and Left Out and “Summer, Summer” by The Almost.
Green Day songs such as: Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Jesus of Suburbia and Wake Me Up When September Ends (the classics.)
A load of MCR, but mainly Famous Last Words and Welcome to The Black Parade or the black parade album, “I never told you what I do for a living, Helena and ghost of you.
Paramore’s “When it Rains, “Hallelujah” and “We Are Broken”
“Trade Mistakes”, “Always” and “Turn Of The Lights”, P!ATD
“The Sky Under the Sea”, Pierce the Veil or the whole of Selfish Machines, depending.
The Youngbloods album from Amity Affliction- but especially R.I.P Foghorn and No Sleep Til Brisbane and “Olde English 800″. or and also Stairway to Hell from their album Severed Ties. and very occasionally, “Snickelfritz” and “Give it All”
This one isn’t emo, and i found in 2015, but: “Frozen” by Dresses. (It’s such a beautiful song.)
oh and also fucking Andrew Landon, if anyone remembers him bc his songs were so damn emo hahahahahaha.
A whole bunch of Lights songs and BMTH songs.
A few Bullet for My Valentine songs, mainly “Tears Don’t Fall”, “All these things i hate (revolve around me)”, “curses” and “cries in vain”
The Used’s Blue and Yellow.
ADTR songs/albums in full, not counting their latest from 2016/last year, Bad Vibrations.
a few Fall Out Boy songs.
ETC ETC ETC ETC
YES I’M EMO TRASH AND I’M PROUD (not really)
what are some things you do when you can’t sleep?
listen to music on youtube till like 2am, or listen to TED talks or lectures from the great courses, or read. or you know, come on this goddamn hellsite. or drink scotch, wine or baileys or whatever alcohol i have lying around (but that’s very seldom).
what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had?
idk, tbh. probably all the concerts i went to in my teens lol.
what kind of covers do you have on your bed?
a standard blue sheet set (lol), a doona and a sleeping bag (in winter.)
who is the last person you told a secret to?
i have no idea, actually. I don’t have many secrets anymore haha.

The kids’ taste in music, pre and post timeskip
Patton: listens to minecraft parodies and the soundtrack mostly pre timeskip but after the timeskip he listens to similar music to Virgil and Remus, like mother mother, lemon demon, etc (bonus: his favorite musical is dear Evan Hansen)
Remus: pre timeskip he really digs 80s metal bands like guns n roses, def leppard, twisted sister and such. Post timeskip he still likes those bands but mostly listens to lemon demon and paramore with some other bands mixed in (bonus: his favorite musical is heathers and beetlejuice)
Roman: pretty much exclusively disney soundtracks pre timeskip, afterward still listening to disney, but also paramore and kpop (bonus: his favorite musical is wicked)
Virgil: mcr pre skip, evanescence post skip. Those are/were his main bands anyway (bonus: his favorite musical is heathers)
Jay: whatever Virgil listens to, so do they, this applies both pre and post timeskip (bonus: their favorite musical is cats and in the heights)
Logan: didn’t listen to music much pre timeskip but after the timeskip he really got into musicals and was constantly singing along with them. Roman definitely appreciated this character development (bonus: his favorite musical is wicked)

I was tagged by @twothirtyams
FINALLY got around to it HERE:
Nickname(s): Energizer Bonnie. Bon Bon. Bon. The Bonster. Babe (Jake literally has called me Bonnie less than 20 times akdjakanan).
Gender: Lady gal. Tbh I would be agender because I just don't care but along that same vein I just don't care enough to explain that all the time/insist on pronouns. So. Respect to y'all who do. ✌
Height: 5′6″ (I'm the tallest woman in me or Jake's families but also like. Why am I not 5'11"+ akdjakajaj Kaylor's impact….)
Time: 5:47p CST
Where I'm from: Dallas, Texas. (I would specify the suburb but nobody outside DFW seems to kno lol.) Living in Austin, Texas for 21 more days though...
Hogwarts house: SLYTHERIN. Through and through. When I took the quiz at like 15 and got put in the opposite of Gryffindor I cried. But like. Now, I cannot imagine ever not identifying with everything about Slytherin. The ~dark side~ has never ever been appealing to me - I didn't even have an "emo phase" (I thought MCR was scary even) lol but. Ambition and cunning? Hell. Yes. Also Merlin was a Slytherin so. Dab.
Favorite show: Parks and Recreation has taken the top spot for yeeeears - but now it is tied with Crazy Ex Girlfriend. (I base a lot of my identity on kinned TV characters akdjakaj but ANYway.) 30 Rock close 2nd. Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul are 3rd, shockingly. Bojack Horseman an unfortunate 4th but I kin Bojack in a negative way. Always, ALWAYS stan Avatar: The Last Airbender at #5. I have too many to list tbh lol so just check my TV tag.
Favorite animal: So preface: I only like female animals. Akdjakaja. JUDGE me as you WILL. BUT. Other than hyenas, female animals don't RAPE. SO! ANYWAY! Bunnies at a hard #1!!!! 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 Alligators, sharks, dolphins, elephants, horses/ponies, cows, pigs (lotta livestock akdjakajaba), cats, opossums, cheetahs, big cats in general, GIRAFFES (KK……) - I love animals a lot (from a sanitary distance akdjakajaj)
Favorite band/artist: I will not even count the obvious answer because that isn't fair. Other than her: Paramore/Hayley Williams, Ariana Grande, Lorde, Hayley Kiyoko, Halsey, Bastille, Troye Sivan, Harry Styles/One Direction, Rush (hate you Jake…), the cast of Hamilton and Crazy Ex Girlfriend.
…
...you can't judge me.
Song stuck in my head: Well I'm currently listening to Kung Fu Fighting akdjakaj but other than that Love Kernels has been stuck in my head for OVER A WEEK!!!!
Last movie I saw: Uhhh….tbh I really do not watch enough movies??? Honestly, it might have been Endgame?? God I am sad akdjakakja. Watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend 3× since June tho akdjakana
Last thing I Googled: murphy texas fourth of july concert
Other blogs: I've got a SHIT ton of saved URLs, but other than my temp hiatus blog @kaylor and its side blog @marvelousmidgesusie nah. Too much effort.
Do I get asks:Absolutely not. Never have never will akdjakajaj I'm good with it now.
Why this URL: Not to be like. Dramatic. But. After getting a canon URL previously and receiving 0 validation from it, I started this blog under the guise of like. Having just...a fun URL I can change whenever just to enjoy. So, when the lyrics were leaked, I jumped on this bitch because it was fun! And I'll probably change it again once Lover releases.
Number of blankets: Oh my God. Over 10. Too many.
Followers: Little over 125 I think.
Following: Idk. Maybe 200?
Average amount of sleep: I have been working pretty hard to make it at LEAST 8 - but that never fucking happens aidhakan 7-6 usually and it makes me MISERABLE.
Lucky number: 187, and any combination thereof. I know. Weird. But. On birthday turning from 7 to 8, July 18th (7/18), I decided that was the best day of my life, and that was my number. Do I remember anything about that birthday? Absolutely not. But. The number stuck. It shows up in my life a lot. From random (187 on a bus or on a utilities panel driving by), to mildly interesting (my license plate just has 718 or reblogging/liking things that equal combos of the numbers a lot), to really freakin' weird (the number my mom has had for almost 30 years ends with 0718, my Jake's birthday just happens to be August 17th 8/17). So. Idk. I just wike it.
What am I wearing: Tee from a coffee shop, A&M workout shorts, sports bra, crap underwear, and my heart on my sleeve.
Dream job: For my entire life, it was working in film, most recently being an editor. But within the last few months, in a dramatic turn of events, my ideal job would be doing what @tree-paine does: being the publicist of clientele in media, music, film, sports, maybe even politics. Idk.
Dream trips: Jake and I have an elaborate dream of traveling down the Alps from Frankford to Austria to Switzerland to Mulan and ending in Verona. Additionally, I am desperate to take Jake to NYC, LA, Boston, and San Fran. Would love to visit almost every hotspot in the US (Chicago, Atlanta, NOLA, Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Disneyworld, Colorado, Alaska, etc). Also VANCOUVER, lots of East Asia, lots of Europe, Giza, Jerusalem, South Africa - but I have literally never been out of the country and am TERRIFIED of flying let alone over the OCEAN. UM. I just want to be well traveled man lmao.
Favorite food: LOTTA shit I am NOT picky, but tops for sure: cinnamon rolls, cheeseburgers, pizza, mac n cheese, blueberries, pasta in general, sushi, and Jake's aglio e olio/veggie nachos.
Instruments I play: Lol. As if. I spent almost $300 on a keyboard but have been too depressed to try. Maybe someday. Have also been dying to sing for 23 years…
Eye color: Very, VERY light blue. Whenever I am in public, people lose their SHIT on the daily when they see my eyes. But for me like. Blue eyes be creepy. Lmao. I really want green/hazel eyes but like. W/e. So it goes.
Hair color: Naturally this dark, awful shade of ash blonde. But I've been coloring my hair since middle school, and for the past 5 or so years it has been a natural ginger copper. I dye my brows too, people think it's really because I am such a cracker ass white gal akdjakanakan
Aesthetic: Check my "aesthetic" tag lol. Idk. Peach/salmon tones. Farm animals. Florals. Dresses with sneakers. Women. Taylor Swift lyrics over pastel backgrounds akdjakaj. BUNNIES. Shots with a lot of negative space. Mornings and coffee and eggs and pancakes. Waking up next to Jake. Texas hill country. Cowboy boots worn right. Snow. Christmas. Idk. Just like. Look at the "moodboards" tag too akdjakaj.
Languages I speak: English, do you see my lily white ass akdjakajaj. I can speak Spanglish well enough to get through a transaction or vaguely pick up words but that is IT. Would love to know Cherokee, Korean, German, and whatever the hell Australians are saying tho.
Most iconic song: One time, I had a dream that I wrote my senior thesis on why the song "Red" was on the level of modern icon/classic as songs "Don't Stop Believin'", "Livin' On A Prayer", "Smoke On The Water", etc. I was insistent the opening notes were on the same level as "Immigrant Song" aodaajakaja. And I was SO passionate about it I WOKE UP CRYING AKDHALAJAKKAAJ.
Anyway.
OTHER than that, this is 100% subjective and to me personally but: Tim McGraw because those opening notes are just nostalgic as hell; Out of the Woods because when that leaked I was just starting to get back into TS and I put on my headphones and covered myself in a blanket and closed my eyes to be fully into it and oh my God...it was immersive, I will never forget that feeling; IV Sweatpants by Childish Gambino, because it was the MOST PLAYED SONG OF 2018 on our Spotify akdjakajaj; My Shot/Wait For It from Hamilton because they have both inspired and driven me to feel like I can take on the fucking world; and A Diagnosis from Crazy Ex Girlfriend because it changed my life and I have listened to it more times than I can count.
When I created this account: A few months ago. I am changing my person this year, and starting fresh with how I present my online persona was an important part of that process for me. But I have been on Tumblr on various accounts since 2010/11 lmao.
Best memory: Getting moved to the front row at my first TS concert, the 1989 Tour; so, so many things with Jake, years of memories; getting my bun; reconnecting with Sarah; a lot of SXSW 2018; my 20th birthday.
Best pun: The first thing that comes to mind is a post I reblogged earlier about how Lyra from The Golden Compass does not have a moral compass in the metaphorical sense and I said, "I mean. She has a compass. She quite literally very much has a moral compass." I thought I was funny lol.
Random fact: I finally got diagnosed with BPD! And I've lost 20+lbs this year (getting healthy, it's a good thing)! My closet is color organized by item!
I tag:
@kayspiracy @jake-from-state-farm-school @toastedcoconutchips @vagabonds-and-troubadours @grizzlybairparty @thefuckingstory @pictureofsoph1sticatedgrace @his-dark-memerials @taylorswift

How did you start with gfx? Your works always looking so cool!! I want to learn it but I've no clue how to start xD
aw, thank you so much, love!!! 💖💖💖 it makes me so happy that you enjoy them because i’m no pro and really have no idea where I’m going with them half of the time, but I suppose that method is successful :’)
So I first got into using photoshop when I was quite young, maybe 11 or 12? My dad liked using it so I would learn a bit from him but mostly it was just a lot of exploring the program myself. My interest grew from there and I made mediocre stuff for mcr/paramore fandoms and then moved into jrock/kpop around 2008 which was a lot more gfx oriented, so it was a mix of me messing around on PS and influence from other gfx makers. I also went to an art-focused high school and specialized in commerical art and graphic design so I learned a bit there. Then my computer crashed and I lost everything i’d ever made and had a really hard time bouncing back so I gave up up on graphic design for like 7 years…..so yeah, if you start to make things, back up your stuff. :::))))Anyways, I got hooked on mbs when getting into bts and it’s only been a few months that i’ve been playing around with actual gfx again. And I really do mean playing around. Like I said, I rarely ever have ideas in mind beforehand and never know where it’s going to end up, I just start doing random things with different tools and textures and colours and, tada! \o/ So my word of advice is to constantly mess around and eventually something will come out of it that is appealing to you. It can take a while, so don’t get discouraged! Open a picture in whatever program you use and try every single tool so that you get familiar with what it does. And don’t be afraid to have influences that you pull ideas from, but of course put your own twist on things and credit your sources if you are doing something similar. Look at sites for textures, fonts, brushes, etc., and a lot of ideas will spring up. Use your own interests for concept ideas as well––shows, movies, books, quotes, songs, art, places, whatever :)
Oh, and there are lots of great tutorials all over the internet and on tumblr, ofc! just search some random ones up or look through gfx makers blogs within the fandom (who are far more talented than me) and sometimes they will answer asks/have a FAQ regarding editing tips!
