Around the World in 80 Days
Hello! Can I interest you in a miniseries where David Tennant is various levels of disheveled and/or in peril? Do you like OT3s? Let me tell you about Around the World in 80 Days.
This post DOES include spoilers up to and including the end of the show, so if you don't want to know whether they make it back in time, please just scroll past.
Tumblr media
Phileas Fogg is a sad, rich, lovable twit who cannot button his own shirt.
Tumblr media
Everything is not fine. He spontaneously decides to travel around the world in 80 days, a feat that has only then been estimated to be possible, given advances in British colonialism and travel technology.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is joined by Abigail Fix (Leonie Benesch), a plucky lady journalist;
Tumblr media
and Passepartout (Ibrahim Koma, who deserves better lighting), a working-class man who pretends to be a valet so he can get away from a sticky situation.
Tumblr media
Phileas likes trains, and is fascinated by hot-air balloons, and loves the idea of travel.
Tumblr media
But the man cannot undo his own cuffs.
It's an adventure that I would describe as "rollicking." The screenwriter did a good job of taking a story that was really steeped in era-typical racism and colonialism, and turning it into a story that recognizes and criticizes racism and colonialism.
But we're here for the peril.
Tumblr media
Drugged and feverish peril.
Tumblr media
Needs to be propped up by his companions peril.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Flogged for a crime he didn't commit peril! Peril that makes me hope the PBS video player doesn't report on how many times a user rewinds a particular scene peril!
Tumblr media
Hypothermic and needing to be cuddled and have your legs briskly rubbed peril. This also introduces the second important part of this show: the OT3.
Tumblr media
There's excellent character development throughout the show and the three main characters grow to like and respect each other. The real adventure is the OT3 we made along the way.
Tumblr media
(The show is of course trying to sell you on Abigail/Passepartout, but . . . .)
Tumblr media
ot3 ot3 OT3
Tumblr media
Please don't try to tell me that these three end up anywhere but in Phileas' giant empty sad townhouse and make it less empty and sad.
Please join me in watching this! It's a good show! It deserves more than 105 works on AO3! It's cheap to watch--PBS is five bucks a month, and if you sign up at the right time you might get a free water bottle.
In conclusion:

Love your Tom blyth fics an unhealthy amount!!! Iā€™m picturing reader and Tom being all lovey dovey at the premiers but playing it off as really good bestfriends UNTIL she goes to kiss him on the cheek and in instinct he turns his head to kiss her on the lips so they just say fuck it and hard launch there and then x
"An unplanned situation."
pairing: tom blyth x actress!reader
summary: a small gesture, with a sweet intention, revealed a promising secret.
word count: 1.359!
notes: i started this request in the morning and only had the opportunity to finish it a few minutes ago, forgive me for that, anon! ā€” i hope you like it and of course, feel free to share ideas with me!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Y/N, look here!"
Another request, among others, screams and countless flashes, was directed to you; being, theoretically, almost impossible to identify who had demanded your image. ā€” There were so many voices mixing, not to mention the music in the background, but, you tried your best to pay attention to most of the cameras.
However, it wasn't anything you weren't used to; something that has already been normalized in your life.ā€” And during the premiere of The ballad of songbirds and snake it was no different, and it was splendid; simply perfect. ā€” Not to mention, the feeling of gratitude that grew in your chest.
Cameras and cell phones captured your every movement, your poses and the way your perfectly chosen dress was valued and highlighted on your body. ā€” And how it matched the color palette of the film. ā€” Everything was being recorded, at the exact moment, posted and commented on all social networks.
You had the opportunity to meet, talk and take photos with some of the cast. ā€” It was so pleasant, the company and unity that everyone developed during the filming of the film was inexplicable and so adorable; you were grateful to have worked with so many talented people. ā€” There were some people who were absent, until now, in your eyes, but you would definitely meet them again on the carpet.
And, of course, your eyes roamed the decorated room, matching the elements of the film, and crowded in search of a specific person. ā€” It wasn't exaggerated words to say that you were starting to feel uncomfortable because he was missed; and the cameras recorded it. ā€” Silent questions, which would be written, formed in the minds of the presenters and photographers.
Your boyfriend had yet to appear on the red carpet; perhaps he is giving a quick and curious interview or greeting someone. ā€” That's what was going on in your head.
You and Tom had a secret relationship, ever since you met behind the scenes, in front of the world and all the cameras that may exist in it; something that was so risky and at the same time adventurous. ā€” And that, as incredible as it might seem, you knew how to disguise it in front of your fans; even though they gradually became suspicious with comments, interactions and behind-the-scenes photos.
They were either smart or you and Tom were too far over the line. ā€” This question was not important or essential for the moment. ā€” And you considered each other best friends for interviews or responses to comments; you tried your best.
And so, Rachel sent countless screenshots of tweets, which talked about or mentioned the relationship between you and Tom, to you. ā€” It's impossible to deny how funny it was.
Persisting in continuing to look for him and for a few seconds, your eyes meet his blue and so charming irises. ā€” Its shade of blue was a magnificent and beautiful combination; something you would never get tired of admiring. ā€”And there was no other thing, or anyone, that could take his eyes off you.
As if the only thing that mattered at that moment was you. ā€” And everything around him simply disappeared.
"There you are!" ā€” Tom walked towards you, easily as there weren't so many people on the carpet, and an enthusiastic smile forming on his lips; also accompanied by cameras and intense flashes. ā€” "And so beautiful!"
Holding a part of your long and dazzling dress so as not to hinder your steps, you met him, and without wasting any time, hugged him. ā€” A common gesture, and not so different or strange, for the spectators; so, you thought. ā€” Tom's arms went around your waist, holding your protectively for a little while, while your arms positioned themselves around his neck.
Tom's fragrance, which you liked so much, filled your nose; it felt so good, and you felt your eyes weaken, contaminated by it. ā€” And the british man was aware of that.
"You look perfect, always." ā€” The older man distanced himself, just a little, and brought his face closer to your ear, wanting only you to hear. ā€” "The most beautiful woman that has ever crossed my eyes." ā€” The lenses probably captured a reddish pigmentation on your cheeks and it was not part of your makeup.
You placed one of your hands on his chest, and looking directly into his eyes; that shone at you, and it wasn't just because of the influence of the lights in your direction. ā€” Tom's gaze was sincere, and passionate, intensely fascinating you. ā€” He conveyed what he felt most with just his eyes.
And that was one of the facts about him that you were passionate about and recognized very well.
"Oh, shut up!" ā€” Raising your hand and resting it a little away from your mouth, you laughed a little embarrassed and looked back at the cameras; remembering that they remained there and you knew that later you would see your interaction with Tom on some social media.
Again, a thing and situation you were used to.
"Look at that camera!" ā€” A voice mingled among others, which requested the same request, asking you to take some photos together; something that would feed news, fans and press.
At no point, minute or second, did you and Tom remain distant or apart from each other; always a few steps close, hugging each other for photos and certain looks, completely indiscreet. ā€” Even during brief interviews, as Blyth mentioned you or your character's work, you were silently watching. ā€” One of the interviewers even commented on how cute she thought it was.
Tom's hand was on your waist, holding and almost covering you, making a quick caress in a few seconds and one of your hands was still resting on his chest; and you continued, of course, to be the focus of the cameras.
Quickly, with the intention of changing your pose and trying something new and also to take advantage of the fact that Blyth's face was almost close to yours, you decide to place your pigmented lips on his cheeks. ā€” Such a cute and friendly gesture, and so common. ā€”But, automatically and hastily, Tom turned his face away at the same time, without having in mind what you were, in fact, planning. ā€” God, it was a shock; an absurd and completely intense shock.
For the first time that night, in that place and on those cameras, your lips touched Tom's lips. ā€” It was very quick, good and surprising; and that definitely left a cold, freezing air in your belly accompanied by a desperate feeling in your mind. ā€” Rumor has it that smoke was coming out of his head. ā€” It was a peck, a quick and simple kiss.
When you separated, hurriedly, your eyes met Tom's once again; who were a little wide-eyed, expressing surprise. ā€” Looking for something to say or do, just like you. ā€” And you watched his lips curve into an almost smile, as if he was trapping him.
Shouts of enthusiasm and some possible whistles echoed throughout the immense place, along with some looks and expressions of surprise at what had happened. ā€” And some people were worried if they had recorded the exact moment, of course. ā€” Your fans were probably commenting frantically about what happened.
You really didn't know what to do but at no point did you move away from your boyfriend ā€” now, official to the public ā€” and keep your hand on his chest; as if it were, in fact, planned.
"A nice way to reveal it, huh?" ā€” Tom laughed, relaxed and without a feeling of discomfort or uneasiness, he still had his hand on your waist; and he still squeezed you, then leaving you with another caress. ā€” "I think." ā€” He didn't look at the cameras, his orbits focused only on you.
They have always focused on you, regardless of what is actually happening; and that will never change.
"A nice way to reveal." ā€” You repeated your words, but, as an affirmation and certainty; maybe, seeing how relieved Tom was, and not showing some kind of distress, your chest calmed down and you felt safe.
And soon, you and Tom became one of the most talked about topics on social media.

-"Caine's not gonna do anything malicious, it's not in his nature" Just a line I wanna put a pin in.
Tumblr media
-GUMMIGOO NOOO. HE DOESN'T REMEMBER HER IM GONNA KMS

Tumblr media
-Me core
-Pomni has such a big heart I love her so fucking much.
-"Oh Ragatha.. I love her, but after a while it gets hard to tell how genuine she's actually being" THIS IS SUCH A GOOD LINE!!! I love how it shows how Ragatha is really trying her best, but she's been worn down so much over the years that they can tell her kindness is a mask, sort of like gangle's comedy mask.
-(Also gangle said 'i love her' in reference to ragatha, w for the gangle x ragatha shippers)
Tumblr media
-real.
-I love how we get to see zooble's softer side in this episode.
-Gangle's not having a good time: the musical
-Again, pomni is just so sweet :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Ok but why does this ending sequence eat so hard
Tumblr media
-EXCUSE ME
-I could go into a whole rant abt how this ending could possibly hint to all the cast being dead, and how this ending is a sort of recreation of Gangle's death, but I'm not sure goose would do that. It's a plausible theory after this episode, but i don't think the "They're all dead and living in a digital purgatory" theory fits the themes of the show well.
-Gangle chooses to be honest, even when faced with possible consequences.
Tumblr media
-ROYALTEETH CRUMBS!!! I like to imagine Caine and Kinger went on their own little date adventure :3
-C&A logo on Caine's computer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Family guy death pose and a reference to that one weird bootleg caine costume
-"and now I don't think anybody wants to talk to me anymore" My autistic ass relates to that a little too much
-"I still like talking to you" AHHHHHHHHHH <3
-"I always like seeing what you draw" CRYING
Overall, I thought episode 4 was really good. Probably my least favorite so far, really just because of the slower pacing. I can't wait to see what's next!!

Tumblr media
The lil sly, flirty smile. Oh JJ if you dont kiss a boy in this show were gonna have to have a fucking conversation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way he imidiatly took that as a challenge. Heard he wasnt fully in yet, looked a lil offended and then so thrilled cuz hed get to nag Fadel some more
Tumblr media
Fucking horn dog
Tumblr media
How does he though, i think were gonna have to kill this guy Bison
Tumblr media
Dont make me feel sappy now
Tumblr media
Oh, oh my heart. Fadel just melting into Style.
Tumblr media
Horny piece of shit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aahhh
Tumblr media
God they are such massive losers. Took time out of their day to design two fucking shirts
Tumblr media
Oh oh my heart again
Tumblr media
Fucking digging his own grave aye
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That is 3 out of the four asses grabbed. I see great things jn your future Kant
Tumblr media
Thats honestly still higher then i suspected
Tumblr media
Omg he is all fucking talk and pretty white lies. If i was Style id be pretty pissed btw, doesnt want Bison risking himself but is a-okay including Style into his lil spy suicide mission
Tumblr media
Fucking loser omg. Could have easily just put in a lil effort to jump over it. Yok would be disappointed
Tumblr media
Ofcourse there is a camera. What did Kant suspect honestly
Tumblr media
Cassually pulls out his gun. Why does he even carry that during a double bowling date.
Tumblr media
The sweetness and slight crazy in his eyes. Khaotung you will be hearing from my therapist, this frame is burned into my brain. I cant think of anything else
Tumblr media
I get putting your first om your legs, like i guess that place is easy to reach but also that spot must fucking hurt, like your pretty close to bone. Are we sure hes not a masochist if he chose that spot
Tumblr media
Oh kill me
Tumblr media
They keep making opportunities for us to be sad about them. Like every sweet scene we have to be reminded they are doomed by the narative.
Tumblr media
Kill me
Also the lack of music in this scene really really fucking hit hard, like that made it al so much more intimate and shit.
Tumblr media
Omg, stunning, show stopping, magnificent
Favorite scenes
All of it actually this was just a stunning episode and I already wanne rewatch it.
For anyone curious about my sc stats. I took 123 screenshots. Of which 67 were of Fadel and or Style, 52 of Kant and or Bison, 2 of James and 2 of Thanon

okay fuck so i got an anon ask for solangelo fic recs and then i made a draft on my phone but then deleted it bc i wanted to type it out on my computer but then that deleted the ask too so!! hopefully this reaches the anon i apologize deeply for losing your askšŸ˜­
but anyway. SOLANGELO FIC RECS. ALWAYS. ANYTIME. I HAVE SO MANY
so first of all if you wanna check out my ao3 i have a bunch of recs in my bookmarks (57 solangelo ones im pretty sure)
but here are some of my favs
i'm put in awe (of something so flawed and free) by CordeliaRose (@cordelia---rose)
archaeologist!Nico & trauma surgeon!Will AU. this fic is. ohmgyod. nico's internal dialogue is just absolutely perfect in this fic and i laughed so hard and god it was just so beautifully written?? but also solangelo are literally so cute. like. ahglskdf. i gotta reread this actually but anyway (also anything by this author, absolutely hilarious, such good writing)
dumb, dumb love by thegoldenappleofdiscord
five times nico and will are dumb and in love, and the one time they are totally 100% dead serious. i love a good outsider's pov, and this fic is just gorgeous. it's a bunch of different perspectives into solangelo, and it's pure fluff, and it's got some of my favorite solangelo quotes (like, when i read fanfic i screenshot parts i rlly like and i practically screenshotted this entire fic), and their characterization is just so so accurate they're so so in love
paris by ethannku (@ethannku)
Nico has a travel YouTube channel. And a crush on one Will Solace. i'm such a sucker for socmed au's and this one is done SO so well. my all time favorite. and it's sequel too!! the formatting i am in awe of, but other than that, it's just a really good time and i just love all the little details. i've reread this too many times to count and was SO excited when a sequel was published, and i can only hope that there's more to the au in the future!! (also this author writes incredible solangelo fics and even more valgrace fics which i recently just bingeread and are soo good)
Perfect Places by buoyantsaturn (@buoyantsaturn)
ā€œMy nameā€™s Will,ā€ he started - so far so good - but then continued, ā€œand I guess my favorite food to cook would be, um, frozen pizza.ā€ Was Nico only attracted to idiots? this one's fucking hilarious. i can't even put it to words like their dynamic in this fic is so funny and yet so cute and nico is honestly just like. shocked that will is somehow still alive?? will's a safety hazard. but also piper and jason in this fic are so funny too, it's honestly just such a good, fun read (and, once again, this author's incredible. read everything by them)
I Can't Help It If You Look Like an Angel by the_oncoming_stormaggedon (@lordstormageddidnt)
Will Solace is a pre-med student whose friends run a true crime podcast called "Nothing to See Here". Nico di Angelo, despite not realizing he's a missing person, is the subject of one of the episodes. They meet by chance in a random bar, and shenanigans ensue. i mean, if it's got a taylor swift title, i'm already sold. and then it's part of a series called "Hey Stephen is a solangelo song and i will die on that hill" which is the realest thing ever?? but ASIDE from that, i could honestly rec this entire series (+ the other series it's a part of, "Nothing to See Here" which is all part of the same au) and also everything by this author - it's hilarious, i just love the premise, and the writing is so good!! and hey stephen is a solangelo song, thereby reinforcing my "fearless is will's favorite album ever of all time and i will die on this hill" argument
Even When the Music's Gone by the_oncoming_stormaggedon
It's the 74th Annual Hunger Games, and Nico and Will are the last two tributes alive. haha this is pure angst. just gutwrenching angst. love a good hunger games au and some MCD!
can i handle the seasons of my life? by buoyantsaturn
ā€œI think that most people your age finished high school, and whether they knew what they wanted to do with the rest of their life or not, they went to college. That was their version of ditching everything they knew in order to find themselves. Maybe itā€™s time for you to stop taking advice from other kids who grew up the same way you did, and take it from someone who used to be normal.ā€Ā  FAME AU FAME AU FAME AU FAME AU i mean, not REALLY about the fame aspect of it, but i still love it so so much. will's essentially a nepo baby turned not-nepo-baby turned college student and nico's naomi's driver, and there's even... there's EVEN A VERY BRIEFLY IMPLIED POLLEN. yeah they're relationship is just so cute in this and i love the au and i love how it's written and ugh i need more fame au's in my life
so it turns out teachers don't live at school by RegretfullyRegretful (@marbleheavy)
Nico's TA and students are determined to figure out something, anything about him. Of course, it would all just be a lot easier if they asked. Either way, Professor di Angelo is decidedly a lonely hermit. (Someone should really tell his husband and baby that) this was one of the first solangelo fics i ever read, and it's just. so. funny. another outsider's pov bc i love it, and just... the assumptions abt nico, the fluff of solangelo, and then their story of how they got together is so...ahhsdlkjs this author is just a master at tooth-rotting fluff go read everything they write
my lover's the sunlight by demigodbeautiies
Figure Skater Nico di Angelo has a run in with Ice Hockey Player Will Solace. It doesn't go too smoothly, but then again - when does it ever? OLYMPICS AU. FAME(ISH) AU. IM OBSESSED THIS IS WRITTEN SO WELL and like... the very brief part where it feels a lot like a fame au like i just i'm obsessed can you tell. the writing is just beautiful in this, i love nico's internal dialogue, and... i mean, it's an olympics au. ofc its perfect
The Stolen God by TsarinaTorment (@tsarinatorment)
Python is defeated. The prophecies are restored, and Nero has fallen. Apollo has not been seen since. His trials are over; why isnā€™t he back on Olympus? okay so. this is a bit of a longer fic. and it's a post-toa, pjoxmcga crossover, and it's not *entirely* focused on solangelo - but when i tell you that this fic, if i weren't reading it on ao3, i would truly and full-heartedly believe was a real life published novel - i am NOT LYING. i rec'd this to my friend right after i read it bc i was just like so so obsessed with it and it's literally just. the plot?? is insane. i'm in awe of the author, bc this isn't even the only novel-length fic that they've written with an insane plot too (their fic Eclipse is also phenomenal, but it's more focused on apollo and hades so i didn't rec it here) there's some fierrochase here, lester being lester, and some very very very cute solangelo! and meg! i think sometimes you read a fic and you're like "oh, shit, that could be a novel, and i would think it's better than some actual novels i've read" and this is one of them
(Please Don't Let Me) Fade Alone by TsarinaTorment
Please. Don't let me. the summary's really short here so it's basically that will gets very very very injured and then apollo saves him (rip, i'm sorry, i suck at summaries) once again this isn't necessarily nico focused... it's much more will & apollo. this author writes the absolute best stuff for the apollo cabin, genuinely, if you love will/cabin 7/apollo PLEASE read everything they've ever written but this is just so angsty and the hurt/comfort is so real and goddd it's so good
he was seen on occasion (pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea) by stargirltv
Nico di Angelo is a completely normal eighteen year old. He attends high school, has a socially acceptable amount of friends for a social outcast and has been in a relationship for the past four years with the guy heā€™s pretty sure heā€™s going to marry. He also happens to be the world's biggest bedroom pop artist, ā€˜Hellā€™s Angelā€™, with a fan base that will stop at nothing to uncover his true identity and a Father that continually pushes him to be better. His boyfriend freaking out under every single one of his tweets is making it a bit easier for them to figure it out. so. fame au. y'all already know the premise of this is just absolutely hilarious and the interview?? the posts?? will just being will and i absolutely love his characterization?? and the friend group?? this is one of the funniest things ever but also just written so well anddddd yes yes yes it's a fame au POPSTAR NICO RIGHTS except he's not *really* a popstar in this one but like close enough oh AND it's a taylor swift title??? like this fic was made for me basically
okay that was MUCH longer than intended but i hope you enjoy some of the fics on here!! pls let me know if y'all ever want more recs i read literally so many fics - and if you guys ever want to give me any recs, feel free to do so! as of today, i have read *checks fic tracker bc i'm obsessive and need to keep track of everything* about 7.3 million words of fanfic this year. and that's actually less than normal (for me)
also if anyone reads patrochilles please read this fic it's literally been in my head nonstop for the past few weeks since i've read it and it's one of the best things i've ever read and like holyshit if you read patrochilles read it read it read it

Carnival Date
Nicholas Alexander Chavez
Tumblr media
Genre: Fluff
Summary: You and Nicholas are off to the state fair today, you spend your morning getting ready and then eventually drive to the carnival
A/N: Iā€™ll make a pt 2 of them going on the rides n shi
Warnings: Bowel issues?
Me and Nicholas were off to the state fair today.
We woke up super early and got ready, while I packed our bag, Nicholas made us breakfast to start the day. In the bag I put my purse, keys, snacks and water bottles, making sure to also grab my camera. While waiting for breakfast I grabbed the camping chairs from the garage and put them in the trunk of the car.
I sat outside at the small coffee table as Nicholas brought out eggs on toast and fruit on the side.
ā€œMmh!ā€ I moaned ā€œYouā€™re too good to me.ā€
I waited for Nick to sit down before I cut into the toast the egg yolk running.
ā€œImpressive Mr Chavez, very good job handsome.ā€
He grinned at the praise, before swallowing hard.
ā€œUm, how did you sleep last night babe?ā€ He questioned.
ā€œYeah pretty good actually, at one point I dreamt that I was back at my daycare job and there was this one kid that kept running a muck.ā€ I furrowed my eyebrows, ā€œIt was actually kind of a nightmare.ā€
He chuckled, ā€œWell at least you woke up refreshed?ā€
I just smiled shaking my head.
ā€œHow about yourself? Are you ready for the drive?ā€
ā€œI slept really good actually, best sleep Iā€™ve had this weekā€¦ it was so comfy and slept like a baby.ā€
ā€œThatā€™s because I was in your bed last night.ā€ I joked.
He smiled rubbing his forehead.
ā€œI think youā€™re right actually.ā€ He slightly frowned, ā€œBut no dreams though, I guess itā€™s kind of a blessing, I couldā€™ve been dreaming about naughty kids at daycare.ā€
We both exchanged a giggle as I drew some strawberries toward my mouth. The fruit was refreshing, the sun was shining and I was in good company.
We spoke for a while before I cleared our plates, washed them, dried them and put them back.
ā€œIā€™ll get the car started!ā€ I called to the bathroom door where nick was.
I grabbed our stuff and piled it into the car then going to the driver seat and waiting 5 minutes for Nicholas to finally get out the door.
He jumped into the car placing on his glasses.
ā€œYou ready princess?ā€ I asked.
ā€œHell yeah princess!ā€ He replied smacking the dashboard.
I pulled out of the driveway and we were finally off.
ā€œHaving bowel issues honey?ā€ I asked.
He looked at me with a smile in disbelief.
ā€œNo! I was just -ā€œ He paused for a second. ā€œHaving bowel issuesā€ he finished in defeat.
ā€œI couldnā€™t help it, that egg just went right through me.ā€
I gasped throwing my hand to my mouth with a giggle.
ā€œWell youā€™re all sorted now. Would it be bad if I stopped at Starbucks and got us a coffee?ā€
ā€œOof, yeah maybe not for me, I canā€™t trust myselfā€¦ but go knock yourself out.ā€
-
After 30 minutes we were still driving but getting close to the fair, the music was pumping and I checked on Nick who was looking out the window. Although we werenā€™t talking we were completely comfortable in each others presence, we didnā€™t even need to talk but would still feel content together.
ā€œWhat show bags are you thinking of getting?ā€ I asked.
ā€œProbably be safe and stick to the Kit Kat one, but I also seen one for cologne.ā€
I nodded in agreement. ā€œIā€™d seen one for Ariana Grande.ā€
He rose an eyebrow, ā€œAriana Grande?ā€
ā€œYeah, I know Iā€™m not her biggest fan but the makeup and perfume in it looks really promising.ā€
ā€œTell you what I AM excited for..ā€
ā€œTell me Nicholas.ā€
ā€œA good old CORN DAWWG.ā€
I couldnā€™t help but lose it at the way he said corn dog and he stared at me with a pleased grin.
We finally got to the fair and I pulled into the parking lot. It was sectioned off and had cones everywhere, with workers wearing vests to help guide people to their bays.
I pulled up to a young man who had a radio and name badge ā€œJAKEā€.
ā€œHey-ya Guys! What was your number?ā€
I grabbed my phone and looked for my tickets showing him the screenshot.
ā€œB-12, alrighty just down that way on the left.ā€
ā€œAwesome thank you.ā€ I smiled taking my foot off the brake.
ā€œThanks.ā€ Echoed Nicholas.
ā€œNo worries darlingā€ I heard the worker call.
Nick spun his head back at the worker.
ā€œJesus babe, donā€™t lose your neck.ā€
ā€œDid he just call you darling?ā€ Nicholas scoffed.
ā€œAm I not?ā€ I teased, ā€œI think he was talking to you darling.ā€
He shook his head, ā€œHe probably says that to everyone.ā€
I laughed to myself at Nicks tension, still holding onto the fact that another man called me a nickname.
I hopped out the car and went to the back of the car.
ā€œI think Iā€™ll just leave the bag in the car for now, Iā€™ll grab it later when the fireworks start.ā€
He snaked an arm around my waist, kissing me on the cheek.
ā€œThatā€™s a good idea honey.ā€
I grabbed out my purse from the bag and put the bag back.
We walked towards the fair hand in hand.
ā€œWhat do you want to do first?ā€ He asked.
ā€œThe basketball toss looks like it has the shortest line.ā€
He nodded in agreement, ā€œYeah, weā€™ll do games first then rides?ā€
ā€œSounds like a plan babe.ā€
We walked closer to the game.
ā€œI bet Iā€™m going to absolutely smoke you.ā€
ā€œSure you would Nick, I think you forgot me and Lebron James got almost identical stats, just look at my build.ā€
Nicholas, who towered over me, look me up and down.
ā€œHmmmā€ he hummed.
Ok writing part 2 now, Iā€™ll probably post it either tonight or tomoz because Iā€™m working late tonight. But thank u guys for ur support and hope you enjoyed.

We Are Ep.14: Part 1/3
Hello!!! =D
Welcome back to my crack posts!
Part 2, Part 3
Ep 14 ruined me, just so y'all know. I'm honestly scared for what the next episode will do to me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Warning: long, long post šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜… (also divided into three parts this time because I wanted to screenshot the whole damn thing, but this is next best)
Tumblr media
I did not expect Q to be the one to stand up for Phum, but I wasn't really surprised after the last ep. Previously, he'd be the first one to go up in arms, but he's starting to understand maybe everything isn't that straightforward, and despite his friends meddling in his own relationship, he wants to leave Peem alone.
Conclusion: he's a very good friend.
Tumblr media
Of course. I should've known something like this would come up šŸ˜­
Of course they've taken baths together.
I love this friendship so much.
Tumblr media
You again. šŸ˜¶ I swear to the gods, this guy will give me high blood pressure or something. Please please just leave Peem, alone. Learn to take a 'no' and mantain social distancing.
Tumblr media
Peem... you're too kind for your own good. (I get it though)
Tumblr media
You have no right to say that, especially without knowing the full story. But I'm feeling kind, so you're still a (mostly) decent human to me. Try not to ruin that impression. And never, ever again say anything to my babie Phum. Ever.
Tumblr media
Oh my gods my heart broke for Tan šŸ„ŗ Here he was, probably never having dated after he fell for Fang, so knowing that Fang had dated even after whatever they went through must be so painful to him.
Tumblr media
FANG KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG AND HOW TO FIX IT.
Just like we see Tan waving away Fang's insecurities every time, Fang does the very same for Tan.
I love them. <33
Tumblr media
šŸ„ŗšŸ«¶šŸ¼
Tumblr media
They're both so whipped-
Fai: I didn't see anything šŸ‘€šŸ˜— (we all know she's fangirling so hard inside)
Tumblr media
Fai is me, I am Fai.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No but, Phum, are you sure Peem staring at you for a long time won't make your heart race?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whipped. They're both so goddamn whipped. *sighs fondly*
Tumblr media
The horns I'm dying šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚
Phum wasn't even surprised šŸ˜­šŸ‘šŸ¼
Tumblr media
Okay, not the best impromptu band performance/concert I've seen, but this is Thai BL, and they need some music and at least like 10 scenes with some band to pass whatever standard of approval, so I'll let it slide. Also, I'm terribly fond of these idiots. <3
Tumblr media
HANDS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're besties for a reason hehe
Tumblr media
You're asking the question, but are you ready for the answer?
Tumblr media
I have already gone crazy over this too many times, I really don't have the energy anymore.
Peem is definitely winning Best Non-Confession Confession of the Year Award.
Tumblr media
Are we still talking about the painting, or...?
Honestly though, when he was saying this I got actual flashbacks of Phum kicking the ball into his painting and how their relationship developed from there till where they are right now.
Tumblr media
HE-
He named it "Happy" because it's all the things that make him happy. šŸ˜¶
I had to pause here to take a deep breath so I didn't break out in tears two eps in a row.
WHAT IS THIS SERIES DOING TO ME.
Also, taken together, they are a story in 3 pics.
I'm just gonna go sob in the corner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When faced with that smile and that "na, Peem, na" how could he ever deny Phum anything šŸ˜­
Tumblr media
Textbook definition of a blushing boy who just became boyfriends with his crush the boy he loves. <3
Tumblr media
No, he thinks he's a babygirl and rightfully so.
Tumblr media
THIS HUG. That's it. That's all I have to say. I have no words for how this made me feel, and will make me feel for the rest of the forseeable future.
I end Part 1 here. Part 2 and 3 will be out tomorrow (because they are quite a bit long and I have Thoughts about them that I need to write in detail)!
If you've gotten this far, thank you so much for reading!! šŸ˜Š
Here, have a taco šŸŒ®

== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies, today was a day all around the world. I hope you're all doing okay. A lot of stuff happened that could have left you feeling a lot of hard feelings. I know it's concerning, and I know it's scary, especially the unknown of it all. If you can, today, take care of YOU. Take time to breathe, take time to eat well, and shower, and drink enough water. If you can, watch something funny, cry, whatever you need to do to feel okay. When the world is uncontrollable, and feels unreachable, and the future unknown, one of the best things you can do is take care of yourself and your loved ones. This is a good article on how to ground yourself, if you're feeling out of sorts. It says it's related to triggers but it can be anything really that you need to ground yourself from. The most important thing in the world is that you're safe, and you are okay, so please take care of you. If you need support, reach out to your crew, we all care about you and your well being.
== Daily Darby / Today's Taika ==
I think today we could use a little boost. So here's Taika laughing his ass off at Rhys' ANYWHO, and Rhys having a bit of a grumble about ZADDY. I love these two so much, it's ridiculous. Gif courtesy of @ dallonismysavior <3

Just woke up and need to get out all my thoughts on the Backyard Sports trailer before I go to work
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First of all. THAT'S MY BOY!!! MY SON!! I popped off so hard when I saw him. I LOVE that they aren't trying to "modernise" the game by any means (cus that worked so well for them last time /s) and are retaining the early 2000s feel that makes the OG games so beloved
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KENNY!! MY OTHER SON!! I love that they used his hair and eyes from the atari design. Probably the best thing they could have done with him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KIESHA!!! She's so silly. This might be nitpicky but I'm a lil unsure about them making her hair more pointy than round if that makes sense. But it's not a huge deal she still looks great!
Tumblr media
The inclusion of the old character sprites was really cute, good way of showing some characters that didn't appear physically. (Ernie was also in that one promo image but still) (I wish Sally could have appeared in the trailer as herself but I'll take this)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Favourite screenshots from the trailer. They're stanced tf up. The silly goobers.
Look I'm not saying this is my doing by any means, but it's pretty coincidental that, like immediately after I join the fandom, it gets a revival. And since I've joined I've been imaging what it would be like if they made another game in the series. Has Apollo given me the gift of the prophecy? /j
I'm very excited for this omg. I got hyperfixated on the series from watching one of my favourite streamers (Therm) play it and never actually played the games myself (I can't emulate the old ones currently cus I don't have a working PC), so I'm excited to be able to play them. I am actually looking at getting a PC very soon so maybe I'll actually play a bit of Baseball 97' or 2001 before then.
Also the music from the trailer is gonna be stuck in my head all day now I know it.
Last thing, I WILL be making art to celebrate the occasion, but I'm gonna be pretty busy this week with work, so it might take me a few days. I can probably find some doodles to post in the meantime, and I'm still working on a ton of aged up AU designs so expect more of them soon.
OK I'm done yapping now BYE

Troublemaker - Part 4
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Management has been keeping a close eye on your relationship with Liam, and theyā€™re far from thrilled. Determined to maintain control, they step in to interfere. Can you and Liam withstand the pressure, or will the challenges of a public romance prove too much to handle?
Tags: Liam x reader, mainly angst and fluff
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
...
The tension in the meeting room is suffocating. You and Liam sit side by side, your hands clasped tightly under the table. Across from you, the management team sits with polished precision, their stern expressions unyielding. Paul, seated near the end of the table, looks slightly uncomfortable but resolute, his arms crossed.
ā€œWe need to talk about your relationship,ā€ the woman at the head of the table begins, her voice sharp and clipped. ā€œItā€™s gotten out of hand.ā€
Liam straightens, his jaw ticking. ā€œOut of hand how? Weā€™ve done nothing wrong.ā€
ā€œItā€™s not about right or wrong, Liam,ā€ another manager interjects. ā€œItā€™s about optics. The excessive PDA, the onstage kisses, the marksā€”itā€™s unprofessional. This is a brand, not a romance novel.ā€
You feel your stomach drop as the accusations pile on. ā€œWeā€™ve had nothing but love and support from fans,ā€ you say, trying to keep your voice steady.
ā€œNot entirely,ā€ the woman counters, pulling out a folder. Inside are clippings of tabloid headlines, screenshots of tweets, and candid photos of you and Liam. ā€œThereā€™s growing chatter about favoritism and distractions. Fans love a good romance until it threatens what theyā€™re really here forā€”the music and the bandā€™s cohesion.ā€
Paul clears his throat. ā€œLetā€™s be fair here. The public reaction has been mostly positive. A few bad headlines donā€™t mean the whole ship is sinking. Liam and Y/N are good together, and you know it.ā€
ā€œItā€™s not just about headlines,ā€ the woman snaps. ā€œThe PDA is becoming a distraction. And if this continues, weā€™ll have to take measures to separate you two professionally.ā€
Liam bristles. ā€œSeparate us how?ā€
ā€œSeparate hotel rooms. Separate flights. Even staggered schedules where possible,ā€ another manager lists coldly.
You feel Liamā€™s hand tighten on yours under the table. ā€œYou canā€™t do that,ā€ he says, his voice hard.
ā€œWe can, and we will,ā€ the woman says flatly. ā€œIf this continues, weā€™ll have no choice. And if thatā€™s not enough to stop the chaos, weā€™ll explore further options, including Y/Nā€™s position in the band.ā€
The air leaves your lungs as the threat lands like a physical blow.
Paul sits forward, his voice calm but firm. ā€œLetā€™s not get carried away. Y/N is an integral part of this band, and everyone knows it. Removing her isnā€™t a solution; itā€™s a mistake. Theyā€™re young and in love, yes, but theyā€™re also smart enough to know where the line is.ā€
ā€œAre they?ā€ the woman counters. ā€œBecause from where weā€™re sitting, it doesnā€™t look like it.ā€
Liam leans forward, his voice sharp. ā€œWeā€™ll tone it down in public. Fine. But youā€™re not separating us. And youā€™re definitely not threatening her place in the band.ā€
ā€œLiam,ā€ Paul says gently, trying to calm him. ā€œNo oneā€™s saying we want that to happen. But you both need to meet us halfway here. The marks, the kisses on stageā€”theyā€™re making things harder than they need to be.ā€
You swallow hard, meeting Paulā€™s steady gaze. ā€œWeā€™ll be more careful,ā€ you say quietly, even as your chest tightens with anger.
The womanā€™s eyes narrow. ā€œYouā€™d better be. Consider this your final warning.ā€
Liam stands abruptly, pulling you to your feet. ā€œThis is ridiculous,ā€ he mutters, his voice low but furious. ā€œYou canā€™t control how we feel about each other, no matter how hard you try.ā€
Paul gives you a small nod of encouragement as you and Liam leave the room, his hand protectively at your back. The hallway outside feels like a sanctuary after the suffocating meeting, but the weight of their words still lingers.
ā€œTheyā€™re not separating us,ā€ Liam says fiercely, turning to you. ā€œI donā€™t care what they say. Weā€™ll figure this out together.ā€
You nod, your heart swelling with determination. If they think they can break you, they have no idea who theyā€™re dealing with.
...
You and Liam sit in the common area of the suite later that evening, the tension from the meeting still weighing heavily on you both. The rest of the band is scattered around, laughing and relaxed after dinner. Louis is sprawled out on one couch, Harry and Niall are sharing snacks on the floor, and Zayn is perched in an armchair, scrolling through his phone.
Liam clears his throat, his hand brushing over your knee for reassurance. The sound grabs everyoneā€™s attention, and their laughter dies down as they notice the seriousness in his expression.
ā€œWhatā€™s up?ā€ Louis asks, tilting his head curiously.
ā€œWe need to talk to you guys about something,ā€ Liam starts, his voice steady but firm. He glances at you, silently asking if youā€™re ready. You nod, and he continues. ā€œManagement pulled us into a meeting today.ā€
Harry raises an eyebrow. ā€œAbout what?ā€
ā€œAbout us,ā€ you say, your voice more bitter than you intended. ā€œOur relationship.ā€
Louis sits up straighter, immediately defensive. ā€œWhat about it? Are they still stuck on the PDA thing?ā€
ā€œMore than stuck,ā€ Liam mutters, running a hand through his hair. ā€œTheyā€™re threatening to separate usā€”different hotel rooms, different flights, separate schedules. And worse, theyā€™re threatening her spot in the band.ā€
The room falls silent. Even Zayn sets his phone down, his dark eyes narrowing.
ā€œWait, what?ā€ Niall says, his voice tinged with disbelief. ā€œThey canā€™t just kick her out. Sheā€™s part of the band!ā€
ā€œExactly what I said,ā€ Liam replies, his voice tight. ā€œBut theyā€™re convinced the relationship is a distraction. They think the PDA is too much and that itā€™s affecting the bandā€™s image.ā€
Louisā€™ face twists with anger. ā€œThatā€™s absolute bollocks. If anyoneā€™s been a distraction in this band, itā€™s me. Should I be worried theyā€™re kicking me out next?ā€
ā€œIā€™d like to see them try,ā€ Harry mutters, his tone dark as he crosses his arms.
Zayn leans forward, his expression unreadable. ā€œSo whatā€™s the plan? Are they serious about this?ā€
ā€œThey are,ā€ you admit, swallowing hard. ā€œBut we told them weā€™ll tone it down in public. No more hickeys or onstage kisses.ā€
Louis snorts. ā€œGood luck with that.ā€
ā€œYeah, I give it two days,ā€ Harry quips, his smirk cutting through the tension.
You canā€™t help but laugh softly, even as the weight of the conversation presses on you. ā€œWeā€™ll have to try. But honestly, the worst part was the way they made it sound like Iā€™m disposable. Like I donā€™t belong here.ā€
ā€œAbsolute rubbish,ā€ Louis says fiercely, his hand clenching into a fist. ā€œYouā€™ve been with us since day one. Theyā€™re idiots if they canā€™t see that.ā€
ā€œYouā€™re not going anywhere,ā€ Zayn adds firmly, his rare show of emotion reassuring.
ā€œThanks, guys,ā€ you say, your voice softer now. Liamā€™s arm slips around your shoulders, pulling you closer.
ā€œDonā€™t worry,ā€ Niall says, trying to lighten the mood. ā€œIf management tries anything, weā€™ll all show up to the next meeting covered in hickeys just to prove a point.ā€
The room bursts into laughter, and for a moment, the tension lifts. But as the conversation drifts to other topics, the bandā€™s quiet determination to stand by you lingers in the air, unspoken but deeply felt.
...
A few days later the Late Late Show set is alive with energy as the band settles onto James Cordenā€™s iconic couch. The audience cheers wildly, the buzz of excitement filling the room. Youā€™re seated between Liam and Niall, close enough to feel Liamā€™s arm brushing against yours. The warmth of his presence is comforting, and when he glances your way with a soft smile, itā€™s impossible not to smile back.
James dives straight into his usual playful banter, teasing Louis about his relentless pranking streak and poking fun at Zaynā€™s mysteriously cool demeanor. Zayn smirks, leaning back against the couch, but even he canā€™t hold back a chuckle when James brings up an incident involving a misplaced microphone and Harryā€™s impromptu stand-up routine.
The room is filled with laughter, the camaraderie between the six of you palpable. You lean into Liam slightly, enjoying the ease of the moment, when James suddenly shifts gears with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
ā€œNow, I have to say,ā€ James begins, addressing the crowd as much as the band, ā€œthis group has been making headlines for years, but lately, it seems like a certain pair in this band has been stealing the spotlight.ā€
The audience erupts into cheers and whistles, and your cheeks burn as you instinctively duck your head. Liam laughs beside you, his arm brushing yours as he shifts in his seat.
ā€œDonā€™t leave us hanging, James,ā€ Louis pipes up, grinning devilishly. ā€œWhoā€™s the lucky pair youā€™re talking about?ā€
ā€œOh, donā€™t play coy, Louis,ā€ James fires back, his grin widening. ā€œWe all know itā€™s Liam and our fabulous Y/N. Care to comment?ā€
Before either of you can respond, Louis jumps in, throwing a dramatic arm across the back of the couch. ā€œHonestly, itā€™s about time. These two have been making eyes at each other for years. Itā€™s been like watching paint dry waiting for them to figure it out.ā€
Zayn, who had been sitting quietly, smirks and adds, ā€œYeah, Iā€™d say we were more surprised it didnā€™t happen sooner. The tension was killing us.ā€
Harry chimes in, his voice dripping with faux exasperation. ā€œI mean, how many times did we have to deal with awkward lingering looks across the room? We should get a medal for surviving it.ā€
ā€œAnd now,ā€ Niall says with a grin, ā€œwe get to watch the rom-com in real time. Itā€™s great entertainment.ā€
James turns to Liam, clearly enjoying the moment. ā€œSo, Liam, how does it feel knowing your bandmates have been your biggest cheerleaders in this love story?ā€
Liam laughs, his arm slipping casually around your shoulders. ā€œItā€™s... something, Iā€™ll say that much. Theyā€™re not exactly subtle.ā€
Louis snorts. ā€œSubtletyā€™s overrated. Weā€™re just happy you finally got it together.ā€
ā€œAnd what about you, Y/N?ā€ James asks, turning his attention to you with a kind smile. ā€œHowā€™s it been balancing band life and, well, this?ā€ He gestures broadly between you and Liam.
You smile, steady despite the flutter of nerves. ā€œItā€™s been amazing, honestly. I think having these guys around makes it easier. Theyā€™re like family.ā€
ā€œAww,ā€ Niall coos, clutching his chest dramatically. ā€œWeā€™re the best family, arenā€™t we?ā€
ā€œDonā€™t let it go to your head,ā€ you tease, earning another round of laughter.
James nods, his expression softening. ā€œWell, I think itā€™s safe to say the fans love you two together. And judging by the hashtags trending right now, the support is overwhelming.ā€
The crowd cheers in agreement, and Liamā€™s arm tightens slightly around your shoulders. He leans closer, pressing a light kiss to the top of your head, and the room seems to melt away for a moment.
For the rest of the interview, Liam keeps his arm draped around you. Louis is the most vocal, constantly steering the conversation back to the two of you, while Harry, Niall, and Zayn chime in with their own teasing comments. Even James seems genuinely happy for you, adding the occasional playful quip about young love.
As the segment wraps up and the applause swells, you glance up at Liam, and he squeezes your hand under the table. Whatever challenges lie ahead, this momentā€”surrounded by love and supportā€”feels unshakable.
...
The steady hum of the tour bus is soothing in its own way, the faint rattle of the wheels over asphalt lulling you toward sleep. Youā€™re curled up in your bunk, the thin curtain drawn to shield you from the dim overhead lighting in the hall. Sleep, however, refuses to come.
Itā€™s been a long day, the high of the Late Late Show interview fading into a bittersweet ache. The weight of managementā€™s scrutiny has settled heavily on your shoulders, dulling your usual spark. The funā€”the pranks, the chaos, the lighthearted teasing with Louisā€”feels stifled, like a distant memory.
A quiet rustling draws your attention, followed by the sound of your curtain sliding back slightly. Liamā€™s familiar silhouette appears, his features softened in the low light.
ā€œCouldnā€™t sleep either,ā€ he whispers, a soft smile tugging at his lips.
You scoot over without hesitation, making room for him. The bunk is cramped, but Liam slides in effortlessly, pulling the curtain closed behind him. His presence is warm, grounding, and you release a breath you didnā€™t realize you were holding as his arm wraps around your waist.
For a moment, neither of you speaks. You press your face into his chest, inhaling the comforting scent of his cologne, and he strokes your back gently.
ā€œI miss it,ā€ you murmur after a while, your voice barely above a whisper.
ā€œMiss what?ā€
ā€œAll of it.ā€ You sigh. ā€œThe fun. The chaos. Pulling pranks with Louis. Getting under your skin.ā€ You glance up at him, a wry smile playing at your lips. ā€œIt feels like I canā€™t do anything anymore without management breathing down our necks.ā€
Liamā€™s brows furrow, his hand pausing mid-stroke. ā€œYou still get under my skin,ā€ he says softly, tilting your chin up so youā€™re looking directly at him. ā€œYou always do.ā€
Thereā€™s something in his gazeā€”tenderness mixed with an undeniable heatā€”that sends a shiver down your spine.
ā€œYeah?ā€ you whisper, your voice catching slightly.
ā€œYeah.ā€ His lips brush against yours, a slow, deliberate kiss that leaves you breathless. ā€œBut maybe I need to remind you just how much.ā€
Before you can respond, his hand trails down your side, slipping beneath the waistband of your sleep shorts. Your breath hitches, and your fingers clutch at his shirt instinctively.
ā€œLiam,ā€ you whisper, your voice barely audible.
ā€œShh,ā€ he murmurs, his lips grazing the shell of your ear. ā€œYouā€™ve got to stay quiet, love.ā€
The soft glide of his fingers against you sends a jolt of pleasure through your body, and you bite down on your lip to stifle a gasp. The bunk feels impossibly small now, every inch of him pressed against you as his hand works its magic.
ā€œYou drive me crazy, you know that?ā€ he whispers, his voice low and rough. ā€œEvery single day.ā€
Your reply is a muffled whimper, your head tipping back as he quickens his pace. The rhythm of the bus beneath you matches the pounding of your heartbeat, and it takes every ounce of willpower not to let your voice slip.
Liamā€™s lips are everywhereā€”your neck, your jaw, your shoulderā€”as he murmurs soft, encouraging words that only heighten the tension coiling in your stomach. When you finally break, your body trembling against his, he kisses you deeply, swallowing your quiet cries.
As you catch your breath, his hand withdraws, and he pulls you closer, tucking you against his chest.
ā€œFeel better?ā€ he murmurs, his voice tinged with amusement.
You nod, a small smile tugging at your lips. ā€œYeah. Thanks to you.ā€
ā€œGood.ā€ He presses a kiss to your temple, his hand stroking your back again. ā€œAnd donā€™t worry. Management wonā€™t stop us from being us. Weā€™ll figure it out.ā€
His words, paired with the steady beat of his heart beneath your ear, are enough to soothe the lingering unease. For now, in the safety of Liamā€™s arms, everything feels right.
...
The smell of coffee fills the air as you step into the lounge area of the tour bus the next morning. Itā€™s a cozy chaos of mismatched pajamas, messy hair, and the quiet murmur of early conversations. The boys are sprawled across the couches and chairs, mugs in hand, and Louis is already mid-rant about something that has Harry shaking his head with a grin.
Liam is close behind you, his hand briefly brushing the small of your back as he moves to grab a mug from the counter. Heā€™s been like that all morningā€”quietly attentive, his touch lingering just a second longer than necessary, his eyes soft whenever they meet yours.
You plop down next to Louis, stealing a bite of his toast before he can protest. ā€œMorning, sunshine,ā€ you tease, grinning as he swats at you halfheartedly.
ā€œOi! Get your own breakfast!ā€ he exclaims, but thereā€™s no heat to his words.
ā€œWhy bother when yours is right here?ā€ you reply cheekily, taking another bite.
ā€œUnbelievable,ā€ he mutters, but thereā€™s a glint of mischief in his eyes thatā€™s impossible to miss.
Liam settles on the couch across from you, his eyes flicking between you and Louis with a bemused expression. He shakes his head slightly, muttering something about ā€œstarting too early.ā€
Itā€™s Zayn who breaks the peaceful morning with a question. ā€œSo, whatā€™s the plan for today?ā€ he asks, leaning back in his seat.
Louis perks up immediately. ā€œFunny you should ask, mate.ā€ He turns to you, his grin widening. ā€œY/N and I were just saying how much we miss causing chaos. Management might be watching, but that just means we need to get creative.ā€
You raise an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at your lips. ā€œWhatā€™re you thinking?ā€
Louis leans in conspiratorially, his voice dropping to a mock whisper. ā€œPranks. Big ones. Iā€™m talking legendary.ā€
The suggestion earns a few groans from the others, but youā€™re already grinning, your mind racing with possibilities.
ā€œIā€™m in,ā€ you say, sitting up straighter. ā€œWhatā€™s the target?ā€
ā€œWhoā€™s the target,ā€ Harry corrects, eyeing Louis warily.
ā€œWhy limit ourselves?ā€ Louis counters, spreading his arms. ā€œThe world is our oyster.ā€
ā€œWeā€™re on a bus,ā€ Niall points out, deadpan.
ā€œDetails,ā€ Louis replies dismissively.
ā€œOkay, okay,ā€ you cut in, laughing. ā€œWhat about something harmless but memorable? We could...ā€ You pause, looking at Louis for inspiration.
ā€œSaran wrap on the toilet?ā€ Louis suggests.
ā€œClassic, but predictable,ā€ you reply, waving a hand.
ā€œSwitching sugar for salt?ā€ Zayn offers, earning a chuckle from the group.
Liam clears his throat, giving you both a pointed look. ā€œWhatever it is, just donā€™t drag me into it this time.ā€
ā€œOh, come on,ā€ you say, leaning forward with a smirk. ā€œYou love it.ā€
Liam arches an eyebrow. ā€œDo I?ā€
Louis nudges you. ā€œI say we do something epic during soundcheck. Sneak silly string onto the stage or swap Harryā€™s mic for a kazoo.ā€
The mental image makes you burst into laughter, and even Liamā€™s lips twitch into a reluctant smile.
ā€œYouā€™re both a nightmare,ā€ Liam says, shaking his head, but thereā€™s no mistaking the warmth in his gaze as he looks at you.
ā€œMaybe,ā€ you reply, grinning. ā€œBut weā€™re your nightmare.ā€
The planning continues, a mix of wild ideas and hysterical laughter filling the lounge. For the first time in days, the weight of managementā€™s interference feels like a distant memory. You catch Liamā€™s eye from across the room, and the small, knowing smile he gives you sends a flutter through your chest.
Chaos may be brewing, but at least youā€™re in it together.
...
The arena is electric, a sea of glowing phone lights and deafening cheers as the band takes the stage. Youā€™ve always loved thisā€”being part of the magic, the energy, and the sheer joy of performing. Tonight, though, thereā€™s a spark of mischief buzzing under the surface.
You glance at Louis as he adjusts his earpiece, a sly grin creeping across his face. He catches your eye and wiggles his eyebrows, mouthing, ā€œReady?ā€
You nod, barely suppressing your laugh. This is going to be fun.
The show starts like any other, the boys nailing their harmonies and playful banter between songs keeping the crowd engaged. But as you transition into the third song of the set, Louis leans into your microphone, his voice ringing through the arena.
ā€œAlright, everyone,ā€ he says, his tone dripping with mischief. ā€œWeā€™re spicing things up tonight. On three, the game is tag, and Y/N is it!ā€
The crowd erupts into laughter and cheers as you gape at him in mock outrage.
ā€œLouis!ā€ you exclaim, your mic catching your voice as he darts away with a cackle.
ā€œYou better run!ā€ he calls over his shoulder, weaving through the stage props.
You donā€™t hesitate. The music continues in the background, the band adjusting their positions as you chase Louis across the stage. Niall is the first to join in, sprinting past you with a teasing grin.
ā€œTag me if you can!ā€ he shouts.
Before long, Zayn, Harry, and even Liam are caught up in the chaos, dodging and weaving as you try to catch one of them. The crowd is loving it, their cheers and laughter nearly drowning out the music.
ā€œGet back here, Payne!ā€ you yell, zeroing in on Liam as he slows just enough to tease you.
ā€œNot a chance!ā€ he calls back, his voice warm with amusement.
Louis darts past you again, but you ignore him, your sights set on Liam. Heā€™s fast, but youā€™ve always been quicker, and with one last burst of energy, you grab his arm, spinning him around.
ā€œGotcha!ā€ you say breathlessly, grinning up at him.
But Liam doesnā€™t let go. Instead, he wraps his arms around you, holding you close as the rest of the band gathers around, panting and laughing.
ā€œOh, come on!ā€ Louis groans dramatically. ā€œThatā€™s not fair!ā€
ā€œLooks like heā€™s been caught,ā€ Harry says, his voice dripping with faux seriousness.
ā€œAnd you know what that means,ā€ Niall adds, a devilish grin spreading across his face.
ā€œKiss! Kiss! Kiss!ā€ Louis starts chanting, his hands cupped around his mouth.
The other boys quickly join in, their voices amplified by their mics. It doesnā€™t take long for the crowd to pick up the chant, thousands of voices echoing through the arena.
You glance up at Liam, your cheeks burning, but heā€™s already smiling down at you, his expression soft and adoring.
ā€œShould we?ā€ he asks, his voice low enough that only you can hear.
ā€œAs if weā€™d let them down,ā€ you reply, grinning.
And then he kisses youā€”soft at first, but it deepens quickly, the cheers of the crowd swelling around you. His arms tighten around your waist, and you canā€™t help but smile against his lips, the moment feeling both rebellious and perfect.
When you finally pull back, the arena is roaring, the boys whooping and clapping behind you.
ā€œNow thatā€™s a show!ā€ Louis shouts, throwing an arm around your shoulder as Liam reluctantly lets you go.
You glance at him, his eyes shining with pride and something deeper, and you know youā€™ve made your stance clear.
Itā€™s not just a kiss. Itā€™s a declarationā€”your relationship, your choice, no matter what management says.
...
The green room buzzes with post-show energy, the air filled with the smell of sweat and the faint hum of muffled music still reverberating through the venue. Youā€™re curled up on the couch next to Liam, his arm draped around your shoulders as you rest your head against his chest. His fingers trace absent patterns along your arm, the comforting rhythm grounding you after the whirlwind of the concert.
ā€œThat was insane,ā€ Niall says, collapsing onto the armchair opposite. ā€œThe crowd tonight? Absolute legends.ā€
ā€œLegends who love a bit of drama,ā€ Harry teases, holding up his phone. ā€œLook at thisā€”#TeamY/NandLiam is trending. Fans are losing it over the kiss.ā€
Louis leans over Harryā€™s shoulder, his grin widening. ā€œOh, mate, theyā€™re obsessed. ā€˜Finally, the power couple we deserve.ā€™ ā€˜Liam and Y/N giving us main character energy.ā€™ This is gold.ā€
Your cheeks heat up as you glance at Liam, who chuckles softly, pulling you a little closer. ā€œTold you theyā€™d love us,ā€ he says, his voice warm with pride.
Zayn, lounging on another couch, smirks. ā€œManagementā€™s gonna flip, though. Between the kiss and the trending hashtag? Theyā€™ll have steam coming out of their ears.ā€
You stiffen slightly at his words, a pang of worry settling in your chest. Itā€™s not like you donā€™t know heā€™s right. Management had already been breathing down your neck about the public nature of your relationship, and tonight was practically a giant middle finger to their warnings.
ā€œThey canā€™t actually do anything about it, though, can they?ā€ Niall asks, frowning.
ā€œThey can try,ā€ Louis mutters darkly, his usual humor replaced with a rare seriousness. ā€œTheyā€™re good at trying to control everything.ā€
Liam notices the tension in your posture and presses a kiss to your temple. ā€œHey,ā€ he murmurs, low enough that only you can hear. ā€œTheyā€™re not gonna touch you. I wonā€™t let them.ā€
You tilt your head to look up at him, his eyes filled with quiet determination. ā€œI just... I donā€™t want them to have a reason to push me out,ā€ you admit, your voice barely above a whisper.
Liamā€™s jaw tightens, his grip on your hand tightening in response. ā€œIf they try, Iā€™ll quit. All of us. We stick together.ā€ His gaze shifts to the rest of the boys, unspoken words hanging in the air between you. ā€œWeā€™ve been through too much together. I wonā€™t let them force you out.ā€
Louis immediately stands, his stance firm. ā€œSame here. If they push you, theyā€™re pushing me too. No way Iā€™m sticking around without you.ā€
Niall raises his hand in agreement, leaning forward from his seat. ā€œIā€™m with you guys. Doesnā€™t matter what management says. Weā€™re a team.ā€
Harry and Zayn follow suit, both nodding resolutely. ā€œWeā€™ve got your back, Y/N,ā€ Harry adds, his voice calm but resolute.
Zayn leans back in his chair, looking between the group with a small, proud smile. ā€œWe donā€™t need anyone telling us who belongs here. Youā€™re part of this band, always have been.ā€
The room falls quiet for a moment, the weight of their words sinking in. You feel your chest tighten, the emotions welling up as you take in their unwavering support. Theyā€™re not just your bandmates; theyā€™re your family.
A tear slips from your eye before you can stop it, and Liam immediately brushes it away with his thumb. ā€œHey, no tears. Weā€™ve got this, all of us. We donā€™t let anyone break us apart.ā€
You manage a shaky smile, the lump in your throat hard to swallow. ā€œI donā€™t deserve all of you.ā€
Louis grins, reaching over to give your shoulder a comforting squeeze, ā€œYou do, Y/N. You always have.ā€
You snuggle closer to Liam, his warmth enveloping you as he kisses the top of your head. For the first time in a long while, you feel truly at peace despite the looming threat of management. With Liam and the band standing by your side, thereā€™s no way they can break you.
...
The tension in the air is palpable as you make your way to the meeting room, your steps hesitant, but youā€™re trying to keep it together. Youā€™ve been summoned alone, a fact that makes your stomach churn. You know exactly what itā€™s about: management is furious about the kiss, the trending hashtag, and the blatant disregard for their rules. Theyā€™ve warned you and Liam before, and itā€™s clear that this time theyā€™re not going to hold back.
Youā€™re about to open the door when you feel a hand on your shoulder, and you turn to find Liam standing behind you, his expression set in stone.
ā€œYouā€™re not going in there alone,ā€ he says firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
You shake your head, trying to hold back the nerves. ā€œLiam, theyā€™ve asked for me, not all of us.ā€
He doesnā€™t budge, and soon, Louis steps up beside him, a determined look on his face. ā€œIf they want to talk to you, theyā€™re talking to all of us. Weā€™ve been through this together.ā€
One by one, the rest of the boys join, each one making it clear that theyā€™re not letting you face this alone. Zayn, Harry, and Niall stand side by side, and you canā€™t help but feel a rush of emotion at their support.
ā€œManagement canā€™t dictate who we are,ā€ Harry says with a quiet defiance. ā€œIf they want to say something to you, theyā€™ll have to say it to all of us.ā€
ā€œWeā€™re not letting them pull us apart,ā€ Zayn adds, his gaze steely. ā€œYouā€™re not going in there alone. Weā€™re a team.ā€
Your throat tightens as you look at each of them, gratitude and affection swelling in your chest. You know this isnā€™t just about the relationshipā€”itā€™s about the bond you all share, the loyalty that goes beyond music and fame.
Paul arrives a moment later, having heard the commotion, and he gives you a knowing look. ā€œTheyā€™re not getting away with this,ā€ he mutters. ā€œYouā€™re all sticking together, I see that. Good. Letā€™s go.ā€
With no more words, the group makes its way to the meeting room. You feel your heart pounding in your chest, but now, with the full support of your bandmates, you can face whatever management has planned. You all stand side by side as the door opens.
Inside, the air is thick with frustration. The management team is seated around a large table, and as you enter, their eyes narrow, surprised at the sudden appearance of the entire band.
ā€œY/N,ā€ the head of management says, his voice icy, ā€œwe asked for a meeting with you alone.ā€
ā€œYouā€™ll have to talk to all of us,ā€ Liam interrupts, his voice unwavering. ā€œWeā€™re a package deal. No one gets to dictate how we live our lives or what we do.ā€
ā€œThereā€™s nothing to discuss here,ā€ Louis adds, crossing his arms over his chest. ā€œIf youā€™ve got an issue with Y/N, youā€™ve got an issue with the rest of us.ā€
The head of management opens his mouth to protest, but Paul steps forward, giving them a pointed look. ā€œEnough. Weā€™re not going to play this game. If youā€™ve got a problem, you talk to all of us.ā€
The room is silent for a moment, the tension thick in the air. You stand there with the boys, and even though you can feel the discomfort of the situation, their presence gives you a strength you didnā€™t know you had.
The head of management finally speaks up, his voice colder than before. ā€œYouā€™re making this more difficult than it needs to be,ā€ he says, his eyes scanning the group. ā€œWeā€™re not here to break you up, Y/N, but we need to consider the bigger picture. This... relationship is drawing too much attention. We canā€™t risk it damaging the band's image if it ends badly.ā€
Liam stands even straighter, his jaw clenching. ā€œSo what do you want, exactly?ā€ he asks, his voice clipped, but unwavering.
The manager leans forward, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the table. ā€œWhat we want is simple. You two are obviously serious, and weā€™ve seen the fan supportā€”itā€™s undeniable. But thatā€™s the issue. Fans donā€™t want to see a couple fall apart. They need security, stability. If youā€™re truly committed, we need to solidify this relationship for the public eye. We need an engagement, marriage, maybe even talk about starting a family.ā€
The words hit you like a brick to the chest. You glance at Liam, trying to gauge his reaction. His grip tightens on your hand, but you can see the shock in his eyes as he processes whatā€™s just been said.
ā€œYouā€™re asking us to... get engaged?ā€ you ask, your voice incredulous. ā€œMarried? Have kids?ā€
The manager nods, his expression firm. ā€œYes, exactly. Make the relationship official in the publicā€™s eyes, make it real. Youā€™ve already got the attentionā€”use it. Turn it into something lasting and undeniable. Weā€™re talking about making the relationship as public as possible to keep the fans invested. If they see you both tied down, committed, no one will question the legitimacy of your relationship again. Theyā€™ll back off.ā€
You can feel your heart racing in your chest. This is a level of manipulation you didnā€™t expect. Itā€™s not about love. Itā€™s not even about you and Liam. Itā€™s about controlā€”about using your relationship for the sake of image and brand.
ā€œI wonā€™t do that,ā€ you say, shaking your head. ā€œThis isnā€™t about what you want. This is about Liam and me. Weā€™re not going to get married just to make a point to the public. Thatā€™s not what weā€™re about.ā€
Louis steps up beside you, his eyes sharp and protective. ā€œSheā€™s right. This whole thing has always been about us, not about some corporate agenda. Weā€™re not going to give you a fake wedding or engagement just to appease fans and make you feel better about your plans.ā€
The managerā€™s eyes narrow, frustration creeping into his voice. ā€œDo you really think you can go on like this, without any kind of commitment? You two need to be an example to the rest of the band, to your fans. This... public spectacle canā€™t continue with no clear direction. You need to make a choice. Either you solidify this relationship, or weā€™ll have no choice but to end it and have Y/N leave the band. If the relationship is a distraction, itā€™s not worth it. We canā€™t keep her here while you two play games. This is the only way forward.ā€
You feel the room spin for a second. The words hang in the air, heavy and suffocating. ā€œWhat?ā€ you gasp, your eyes darting from the manager to the rest of the boys. ā€œYouā€™re asking me to leave the band if I donā€™t go along with this?ā€
The manager doesnā€™t flinch, his tone final. ā€œWe need stability. The band canā€™t keep up the uncertainty. If this relationship is going to be a problem, one of you has to go. If youā€™re not going to give us what we want in terms of solidifying thingsā€”engagement, marriage, whateverā€”itā€™s best to move forward without the distraction. Weā€™ve tried to be lenient, but this has gone too far.ā€
Louis, Niall, Harry, and Zayn all speak up at once, their voices laced with frustration and disbelief.
ā€œAre you really saying she should leave the band over this?ā€ Niall asks, his tone incredulous.
Zayn shakes his head. ā€œThis is outrageous. Y/Nā€™s been part of this band for years. Weā€™re not going to let management throw her out just because they canā€™t control her relationship with Liam.ā€
Paul, whoā€™s been silent up until now, speaks up, his voice quiet but firm. ā€œThis is ridiculous. Youā€™re asking them to make a decision that isnā€™t theirs to make. Itā€™s not about your control, itā€™s about whatā€™s right for them.ā€
The manager stands his ground, his eyes cold. ā€œYou can argue all you want, but if theyā€™re not willing to make this work for the band, thereā€™s no place for Y/N here. We canā€™t afford to let personal drama tear the group apart.ā€
You feel the weight of the words settle in your chest, but Liamā€™s hand on yours anchors you. He squeezes gently before speaking, his voice low but filled with resolve. ā€œWeā€™ll think about it,ā€ he says, his eyes meeting yours with a mixture of defiance and uncertainty. ā€œBut thereā€™s no way weā€™re going to rush into something just because youā€™re pressuring us. This isnā€™t about you. This is about us.ā€
You nod, your heart racing in your chest, but the boysā€™ unwavering support makes you feel a little more certain. This is your relationship, your decision, and no matter what management tries to throw at you, youā€™ll face it together.
...
The hum of the tour bus fills the air, the gentle rocking of the vehicle as it moves down the road almost soothing. Itā€™s late, and most of the band members are either in their bunks or chatting quietly in the lounge area, but you and Liam have retreated to the back, away from the chaos of the day. The stress of the meeting with management still lingers in the air, but here, in this moment, itā€™s just the two of you.
Youā€™re curled up against him on the leather couch, his arm around you, and his warmth is a comfort. His hand idly traces soft patterns on your arm as the two of you sit in the quiet, letting the weight of the world outside fall away, if only for a few moments.
ā€œI hate that theyā€™re trying to control us like this,ā€ you mumble, resting your head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath your ear. The silence that settles around you feels different than it did earlier. Thereā€™s no pressure now, no looming threat. Just the two of you. Youā€™ve always loved how you feel when youā€™re with him like thisā€”safe, calm, and completely at peace, even with the storm raging around you.
ā€œI know,ā€ Liam replies softly, his fingers continuing to trace lazy circles on your skin. His voice carries the weight of his own frustration, but thereā€™s an underlying sense of determination in it. ā€œBut Iā€™ll never let them tear us apart, Y/N. Whatever they want to do, however they want to control us... I wonā€™t let you go. Not for anything.ā€
You feel his words sink deep into your chest, and a small sigh escapes your lips. His support, his unwavering belief in you, has always been a source of strength. But thisā€”this commitment, this promiseā€”feels different. You know he means it with everything in him.
Liam shifts slightly, turning to face you more, his eyes locking with yours. The intensity of his gaze makes your heart skip, and you feel your breath catch in your throat. His hand gently cups your cheek, his thumb brushing over your skin as he holds you close.
ā€œY/N,ā€ he starts, his voice low, almost hesitant, ā€œI need to know something.ā€ He pauses, his eyes searching yours for any sign of discomfort, any hint that heā€™s pushing too far, but you just nod, silently urging him to continue.
ā€œHow would you feel about taking that next step?ā€ His words are deliberate, his gaze never leaving yours. ā€œIā€™ve told you before, Iā€™m in love with you. Iā€™ve loved you for years. And I want to be with you, however that looks. I donā€™t care if itā€™s tomorrow, or ten years from now. Iā€™ll wait. But I want you to know that Iā€™m ready to marry you, whenever you are. I donā€™t need a huge ceremony or a fancy wedding, I just need you by my side.ā€
His words hit you like a wave, and for a moment, you canā€™t find your voice. The sheer sincerity in his eyes, the depth of emotion behind every word heā€™s spoken, takes your breath away. You canā€™t help but feel your heart swell with love for himā€”love thatā€™s been there all along, just waiting to be acknowledged.
ā€œYou mean that?ā€ you whisper, your voice trembling slightly. The vulnerability in his eyes, the openness, makes your chest tighten. ā€œYou really mean that?ā€
Liam smiles softly, his thumb continuing to caress your cheek as he leans in, his forehead resting gently against yours. ā€œMore than anything in the world,ā€ he murmurs. ā€œI want to build a life with you, no matter what happens. If we need to wait for it, Iā€™ll wait. Iā€™ll wait as long as you need, Y/N. But just know, Iā€™m ready when you are.ā€
Tears well up in your eyes, and you close the gap between you, pressing your lips softly against his. The kiss is slow, tender, as though heā€™s offering you the entire world with it. When you pull away, you rest your forehead against his, your hand finding his and intertwining your fingers.
ā€œIā€™m ready too,ā€ you admit quietly, your voice barely a whisper. ā€œI donā€™t know when itā€™ll happen, but I know I want to spend my life with you, Liam. I just... I donā€™t want anything to change us. Not now, not ever.ā€
Liamā€™s smile is soft, filled with so much love that it nearly overwhelms you. ā€œNothing will change us, Y/N,ā€ he promises, his voice steady and sure. ā€œYou and me, weā€™re unstoppable. Weā€™ve already been through so much together. Nothingā€™s gonna tear us apart.ā€
You let out a soft laugh, the weight of everything starting to lift, if just for a moment. ā€œYou really believe that, donā€™t you?ā€
ā€œAlways,ā€ he responds, his thumb gently brushing away the stray tear thatā€™s fallen down your cheek. ā€œAlways.ā€
Liamā€™s hand gently brushes a strand of hair from your face as you both sit in comfortable silence. You feel the weight of everything thatā€™s been said, but thereā€™s something calming about his presence. His fingers trace the outline of your jaw, a soft smile tugging at his lips as he looks down at you with affection.
"Are you okay?" he asks, his voice low, the concern in his eyes evident. He still doesnā€™t want to let you go, doesnā€™t want anything to change. But heā€™ll do whatever it takes to make sure you feel secure.
You nod, the soft smile on your face not quite reaching your eyes as you replay the conversation in your head. "Iā€™ll be okay," you whisper, but the uncertainty lingers.
Without saying anything more, Liam leans in, his lips brushing against yours in a slow, tender kiss. Itā€™s a kiss filled with warmth and understanding, a promise that youā€™re not alone in this. His hand gently cups your face, his thumb sweeping over your skin as if memorizing every detail.
As the kiss deepens, itā€™s as if time slows down around you both. The pressure of everything, the expectations, the scrutiny, fades into the background. His lips move against yours, soft and insistent, as though heā€™s trying to reassure you that no matter what happens, heā€™s here, and heā€™s not going anywhere.
You pull him closer, your hands threading through his hair, your fingers tugging him toward you. The world outside this small space feels distant, irrelevant. All that matters is him, the warmth of his body against yours, the way he makes you feel seen, heard, loved.
His lips move down to your neck, trailing soft, slow kisses down your skin, and you gasp softly, the sensation sending a shiver down your spine. He lingers near your pulse point, his lips grazing the delicate skin there before he presses a kiss that turns into a markā€”a reminder of this moment, of him.
You canā€™t help the smile that tugs at the corners of your lips as you feel the mark, the subtle possessiveness that comes with it. Itā€™s his way of saying that youā€™re his, and heā€™s yours. And in this moment, it feels right.
Liam pulls back slightly, looking down at you with a playful glint in his eyes. "Screw them," he murmurs, his thumb brushing over the mark on your neck, his voice filled with a quiet defiance. "Youā€™re mine, and nothingā€™s changing that."
You smile up at him, your fingers tracing the marks on his skin, your heart swelling with love. No matter what management throws at you, you know thisā€”what you have with Liam is real, and nothing can take that away.
And for the first time in a while, you feel truly at peace.
...
The day feels like any other on tourā€”rehearsals, sound check, and Louis being his usual chaotic self. He drags you around with exaggerated urgency, claiming he needs your input for a prank that, according to him, must be executed perfectly. You roll your eyes but go along with it, thinking itā€™s just another day of Louis causing mayhem while you egg him on.
What you donā€™t know is that behind the scenes, Liam is a bundle of nerves. The boys, the stage crew, and even Paul are all in on his plan, their quiet collaboration pulling everything together. Every moment, every detail has been meticulously chosenā€”the photos, the transitions, the timingā€”all leading up to this.
The concert begins, and everything feels normal. The energy from the crowd is electric, the music flows seamlessly, and youā€™re in your element. Then the familiar intro to "Once in a Lifetime" fills the arena, and you smile as the lights dim, casting the stage in soft blues and whites.
You take your place on one of the stools, the song beginning like it always does. But as you sing, something catches your eye. The giant screens behind you light up, and instead of the usual visuals, a photo appearsā€”a grainy snapshot from the X Factor days.
Your heart skips a beat, your voice faltering for a moment as you take it in. The photo fades, transitioning to another: you and Liam backstage during one of the early tours, laughing like you donā€™t have a care in the world.
More photos follow, each one hitting you harder than the last. Thereā€™s one of you and Liam in matching onesies, another of him kissing your cheek as you blush, and a candid shot of the two of you sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, lost in conversation. Memories flood your mind, and your chest tightens as realization dawns.
Your breath catches. This isnā€™t just a montage. This is about you and Liam.
You turn to him, your heart racing. Heā€™s already looking at you, his eyes locked on yours, his expression a mix of adoration and vulnerability. The crowd roars, catching on to whatā€™s happening, but itā€™s all background noise now.
By the time the final chords of the song fade, the arena is vibrating with anticipation. Liam stands, holding up a hand to quiet the cheers. The other boys step back, giving him space, and your pulse quickens as he moves toward you.
ā€œY/N,ā€ he begins, his voice steady despite the raw emotion in his eyes. ā€œFrom the moment I met you, you turned my world upside down in the best possible way. Youā€™ve been my partner in every sense of the wordā€”my best friend, my muse, my anchor.ā€
You feel tears welling up, your hands trembling as you press them to your mouth.
ā€œYouā€™ve seen me at my best and at my worst, and somehow, youā€™ve loved me through it all,ā€ he continues. ā€œI donā€™t want another day to go by without making this official.ā€
The crowd gasps as Liam drops to one knee, pulling a small velvet box from his pocket. Your breath catches, tears spilling over as he opens it, revealing the most beautiful ring youā€™ve ever seen.
ā€œWill you marry me?ā€
For a split second, the world seems to stop. All you can do is stare at him, overwhelmed by the weight of the momentā€”the love in his eyes, the cheers of the crowd, the way everything else has faded into the background.
Then youā€™re nodding, your voice shaky but sure as you blurt, ā€œYes. Yes, of course!ā€
The crowd erupts, their cheers deafening, but all you can focus on is Liam. You barely wait for him to slide the ring onto your finger before you throw yourself at him, knocking him flat onto the stage. He laughs as you bury your face in his chest, his arms wrapping tightly around you as the audience goes wild.
The boys rush in, hooting and hollering as they help you both up. Louis slings an arm around your shoulders, grinning. ā€œItā€™s about bloody time! I was starting to think Iā€™d have to propose for you, mate.ā€
Harry smirks, leaning into his mic. ā€œLadies and gentlemen, the future Mr. and Mrs. Payne!ā€
The audience screams, the energy in the arena reaching new heights. Liam pulls you close, his lips brushing your ear as he whispers, ā€œForever, yeah?ā€
ā€œForever,ā€ you whisper back, your heart full to bursting.
As the concert continues, youā€™re on cloud nine. The boys tease you relentlessly backstage, Zayn joking that he hopes he gets to officiate, and Niall declaring himself in charge of the bachelor party. But every time you glance at Liam, the chaos fades, leaving only one thing clear: this is the start of forever, and you wouldnā€™t have it any other way.
...

WHAT WERE THE SONGS, COMMIE
I CANT PUT IMAGES IN ASK
*insert TF2 Soldier points gun at you here*
Tumblr media
Sound goes hard in that melancholy way. Also Miku playing a guitar is always good
Tumblr media
I cant believe i slept on this Luka song for so long and i bought the assigned module for her at some point so ig i knew future would appreciate
Tumblr media
One-sided Love Samba is like addicting, i missed a note so i could screenshot Miku making that face. I spent the most time replaying this song its just too fun. And the music video is really campy AND AND! Look at that little leek hairclip Miku gets with this module. I'm actually going around the other songs where She's just in Her standard outfit and changing the hair so She can have the leek hairclip. It's such an essential

Astroyongie Podcast S01 EP04
Note: please take it lightly. Censored version. This podcast was done on the 4th May. Notes taken my: @kattyaskat
-> Can you talk about the kissing types based on astrology? Like which planets indicate how you kiss and how is each sign?
I take Mercury and Venus into account. Mercury the way it is built, the way it is done. Skills is based on Mercury. And Venus is how itā€™s developed, how it is felt during a romantic relationship.
-> Should Mars be involved too? For kissing
I only focus on Mercury and Venus. Mars I mostly used when the physical contact gets more developed. though some astrologers can focus on Mars.
-> Tea questions: Ateez
1) (Censored) . He also a bit on edge cause of the internal conflict within the company. Maybe he wants to do something and the company is not giving it so he gets a bit discouraged and grumpy. How company is handling them without much rest.
4) I cannot speak of it.
5) (Censored)- developed an interested to the occult
7) (Censored). He is attracted to things that are bad for him overall and he knows about it and tries to avoid it. He always leans on things he should not and I cannot say more than that. These topics could become problematic if developed
8) (Censored). So huge conflict happened between X and either a member or someone who works in the company. I donā€™t know if itā€™s staff or member.
-> BTS
6)(Censored). Good news for his ex but not him. I donā€™t know why they came back or if they are gonna work it out or not. I donā€™t know if itā€™s really a good thing considering what happened between them in the past. This is perhaps jut a ex reunion and won't last long
-> Who is this ex?
I donā€™t know. Most of the people BTS went out will were non idols, rich background and Chaebols.
-> BND
1) (Censored). I donā€™t know the female idol.
2)(Censored).
5)He is from maknae line. He had trouble in fitting with the group. And finding his own space. He feels like other members maybe donā€™t like him. Maybe he is introverted that he finds it hard to connect with his members.
-> EXO
4)They are one of top 3 most loved member in this group. He is a genuine person but when it comes to his idol image he puts a lot of work into it cause he knows people will not love his true personality. His real personality is somone who had a lot of boundaries, restrictions and he doesnā€™t take shit from no one. But the image the company put on him is silly one. Thatā€™s why he hides a lot of his true emotions and uses his faƧade. In reality he is someone very mature, strict with himself and others.
-> Enhypen
1)(Censored). That boy is smart when it comes to business. He know to handle company, how to get tea and receipts about people and knows how to use it.
2) (Censored).
3) (Censored).
4) (Censored). He might have done something with other people- people in the industry or other idols they might have receipts/screenshots/pictures on things he might have done/days that could potentially ruin his career. But at the moment they are not using those on him and he thinks he is protected but he is not. They could use it any moment.
5) (Censored).
-> Itzy
5) (Censored) she didn't ended the contract with her company.. Only with her sponsor who she dated before.
-> Seventeen
3 )(Censored).
5 ) a member of the dancing team that has been seducing this person that is married, when he himself is already in another relationship. This could get complicated if he keeps with this
7)(Censored).
12) (Censored). Something in his energy thatā€™s like someone is messing with him. Through spirituality or emotionally or directly not much idea, since I couldn't properly look Into it. This person is just trying to upset (Censored) or someone is just being very mean to him.
-> StrayKids:
1)You might already know this member. Lately the music this member has been producing has been has nothing to do with their love for music/composition. More so now doing for money. The reason why the music shifted is itā€™s not to share a feeling or share something youā€™ve been working on anymore. It has lost the inner soul touch. He has also been spending a lot of money on things unreasonable. Spending money without thinking.
2)(Censored). Everytime I have been reading for him from last year, his mental health has been downgrading. I fear for him
3)(Censored).
5)(Censored). Though that was not from anything he did. Someone did it to him. I donā€™t know why they did that to him or itā€™s just a manifestation. Maybe someone around him really liked him and they went to see shaman and tried things and itā€™s affecting his energy.
6) (Censored)
-> TXT
2) (Censored).
3) (Censored).
-> RIIZE:
2) That member was in NCT before they debuted on riize.
4)(Censored)
-> NCT Dream
4)(Censored) -this tea might be biased, cause itā€™s fragmented energy that I get from him right now cause of his burn out and also the hiatus.
5)Canā€™t speak of it.
-> LSS
1)She has trust issues. Not as a person or a woman but when it comes to being an idol. Sacrificed a lot emotionally, physically, financially the most out of all the members. She is ready to do anything and everything to stay on top.
3)Cannot name but she might pretend she is very nice n kind but Behind the scenes if you ask for a favour she will look you up andn down and move on. Not Yunjin.
-> Gidle
3)(Censored). Regarding Lifestyle could be seen as reckless and might become problem later. she is someone who suffered a lot of trauma and she is trying to use anything to espace that reality
5) (Censored).
-> MonstaX
5) (Censored)
-> Do you have any idols that you do not like cause of readings and stuff and if so who?
Take this lightly. Itā€™s not absolute truth because Itā€™s only my perception and I energetically donā€™t vibe with them and energetically speaking I donā€™t feel very comfortable reading them. Yujin, Aaron, Suga, Jeonghan. I have hard time connecting with them. This doesnā€™t mean that they are bad people to their core. Itā€™s just my perception, not being able to read them or feeling nauseous when reading for them. There might be some bad reading experiences with them as well, or things I saw that I wish I didn't. those could have influenced/biased my opinion. Also it's through tarot so I donā€™t want people to hate on them without having concrete proof.
-> Is Hongjoong love life ok? Because you said something like he was kinda attracted to (Censored), so I was wondering if their current relationship is build in convenience?
Hongjoong and (Censored) are not dating each other, not seeing each other officially. None of them are committing to each other due to work/schedules but are still seeing each other In a non official relation way.
-> About skz n*5, I used to get this Empress card whenever I did a reading for them regarding love situation.
Interesting , Maybe they are the one thatā€™s poisoning their energy. The things many readers get are only fragmented and not the whole picture. Some people will have some parts and others will have some others parts and it seems like yours connects with my reading well. So thatā€™s why I say take the readings in Tumblr with a grain of salt!
-> Do you think Suga and Kihyun still keep in touch as friends?
Not at the moment. And I donā€™t think theyā€™ve been talking to each other in quite sometime.
-> Wasnā€™t Hongjoong in a relationship last reading you made? It was (Censored) that your were talking about in that?
It could be her but it also could not be her. There is one other person than (Censored), Hongjoong is talking to. She might be a side interest. It was confusing I couldnā€™t figure that out.
-> Is Seonghwa jealous with Hongjoong & (Censored) and he donā€™t like (Censored)?
He is funny in a way that he hates or dislikes all the people his members have dated or are close to. I donā€™t know if he is just a possessive person like that or if it's because he has underlying reasons.
-> Any updates about Bk identity?
no updates. Itā€™s highly possible they and Hyunjin are not together anymore.
-> Wooyoung love update?
He still has eyes on his person he loves but I cannot confirm if they are together.
-> Recently Bibi made a collab with Ateez. They danced in some of her MV. So maybe something happened between Bibi and Wooyoung?
Nothing happened between them when it comes to physical things.
-> Can I ask about Mingi love life recently?
Mingi is in a complicated situation. There is a lot of jealousy and moodiness around his relationship. Heā€™s unable to trust the person he loves cause heā€™s thinking they are probably cheating on him. Heā€™s struggling with trust and immaturity.
-> What do you think about ex member(woojin) energy?
I donā€™t like it. Iā€™ve only read for him once and I donā€™t think Iā€™ll reading for him again nor plan to.
-> Sometimes I heard some voice in language I donā€™t understand when I did meditation. And sometimes I smell scents like rotten meat and smoke, but when I ask my friend they donā€™t smell anything?
Oh this is not good at all. Hearing voices in unknown language n smelling foul things, I would advise you to stop meditating and do a house/your space cleanse. Because that is not normal. You could be traveling to the lower astral instead of the higher astral and that can be dangerous if you have no idea what you are doing/ or if you aren't energetically protected/have made no protection ritual before engaging. Cleanse you house, your space, your room and do a protection circle before meditation.
-> Am I jinxing myself with constant doubting/overthinking about the opportunities I have?
I donā€™t even need to do a reading because when you convince yourself that what you have done is not good, overthinking ,doubting a lot, it will literally manifest. If you are putting bad energy out there and into yourself, there's no way good things come out. You are self sabotaging. So try your best to think positively and when you feel the bad thoughts come out, try to rationalize it. Try not to put the negative thoughts out there and do not vocalize them.
-> How is Garam doing? do u see her stepping back in the spotlight becoming successful in acting?
I donā€™t know how she is doing, I havenā€™t done any readings on her since she left.
-> What do you think about Garamā€™s energy, yongie?
I donā€™t mind it but itā€™s not that good either. Also Iā€™ve done only one reading on her, so not much opinion.
-> Yongie I always sponge people's energy. What can I do?
When it comes to sponging you could try to protect your energy through crystals- eye of falcon, eye of tiger, black tourmaline, obsidian, clear quartz. Another tip is when you get to know that these emotions are not yours, try to process them and let them go.
-> Can energies change over time?
Yes. They are always shifting.
-> Will there be an IZ*ONE reunion?
No, not for now.
-> Is kep1er gonna disband?
It seems like some sponsors of some girls are actually pushing for disbanding and for them to be soloists. I think 3 members are going to debut in a new group after.

GIVEN | Hiiragi Mix Thoughts Part 1
Tumblr media
So I haven't been super active on this blog not because I don't love Given anymore, but any ounce of brain energy dedicated to Given means I have to feel the agony of waiting for the two movies to release. BUT ALAS the time has come because @aarinfantasy is the GOAT thank you thank you thank you~~~ Spoilers and screenshots below the cut šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡
GENERAL NOTES:
How can Mafuyu be animated even cuter than before? Like I don't even know how but how can he look even more adorable???!!
I love the intentional placement of sound and music in Hiiragi mix, moments of silence are so effective in highlighting tension, awkwardness, release, nervousness. Like even 1 minute into the movie, you hear the boys breathing as Uenoyama is tuning the guitar and Mafuyu is sitting beside him. It's those little details that show the atmosphere between characters perfectly.
I like the balance of Hiiragi/Shizu's storyline and Mafuyama's storyline, it's following the manga closely and shows the complexity and intertwining of their stories. It's a good way to juxtapose the different struggles between the two couples and what they needed from each other to overcome their miscommunication! I think the team took feedback from the Given Movie 1 2020 and OVA broken up into two parts when it should have worked better as one longer movie.
I saw on reddit I think that Hiiragi's VA is still relatively new to the industry but I saw a HUGE improvement in his voice acting in this movie, the range he gave to Hiiragi is amazing!
SCENE REACTIONS
This scene was so funny I CACKLED Uenoyama and Hiiragi with their catty energy I LOVE THEM
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. I fell off my couch at this scene HHAHAHA
Tumblr media
While Uenoyama's face is funnier in the manga, something about the animated rocket launch from earth JUST GETS ME HAHHAHA. Ok serious talk though how did I not notice that when Uenoyama got confessed to and when Haruki told him he's about to debut, his brain turns into astronaut footage? I think it's a very smart way to illustrate that for Ue, music = love and one cannot exist without the other.
3. OMG Uenoyama's face HAHAH awww man I know he's bummed as hell at Mafuyu's "I'll think about it later" (to the debut proposal) but his face, Ueki and Itaya's faces send me straight to heaven
Tumblr media
You know how Ue feels? Our munchkin cat feels like he just proposed to his lover and his lover said, hmnnn I'll think about it. šŸ˜­ Chemical, emotional, physical, psychological damage right here>>>
4. The voice acting here from Hiiragi's VA Fumiya Imai SLAPS SO HARD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's definitely giving deja vu, similar energy to Uenoyama panicking about Mafuyu, gosh I love Hiiragi and Uenoyama's baby gay panics it's so cute.
5. Kageyama is that you?!
Tumblr media
6. The sound design and use of silence in this entire scene....incredible, showstopping, amazing, impactful yes yes yes
Tumblr media
7. This scene animating Shizu's flashback to childhood was really well done.
Tumblr media
It's interesting that in the movie they didn't speak too much about Shizu being transferred from foster home to foster home, or what he had to do to get by. But also, in the manga, I'm pretty sure that they didn't have this scene of a child Shizu closing his hands over "precious stone" but I think it absolutely elevated my connection to Shizu as a character. It really shows that he believes he has been selfishly holding Hiiragi back and that he has been trapping Hiiragi all this time. It gives so much more context to what he did next which if it wasn't clear already, he tried to push Hiiragi away in order to free Hiiragi from him. 8. HOLY SHIT wow goddamn I would not want to live where Akihiko is living oh my šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€
Tumblr media
Watching this scene animated with the noise of the highway really highlights how bad Akihiko's living conditions are. I flagged this because in the Given Manga sequel 10th mix [SPOILER AHEAD], there is this whole thing of Akiharu's disparity with their living conditions so....this is interesting....just putting it out there.....
I also don't remember this scene in the manga, but I really appreciate it, it shows the contrast of Akiharu in the first Given movie vs. this one and how their love and care for each other has evolved! Very cute! I'll make a part 2 soon!

i have been doing cpn posts here and there about wybā€™s alleged song list and here is another one. iā€™m just gonna name it wybā€™s playlist cpn from now on. so the explanation is, some people know wybā€™s personal qq music account so if you follow him you can see what he has been listening to. i am not really familiar with the app so idk how the settings work if he can hide some. no one is saying how they found out about the account, which makes sense for privacy. in a similar way that some fans know zz/wybā€™s gaming account till now. feel free to not believe it cause i understand that things like this can be sus & people on the internet tend to lie.
for me personally tho, i love this cause i think music really speaks of what someone is feeling. and you have wyb who is not exactly big on social media so we rarely know anything. aside from his now extensive movie list, his playlist is something that is interesting too. not necessarily cpn-wise all the time.
Tumblr media
this post will cover golden hour & some recent eason chan tracks added. šŸŽ¶šŸŽµ
The first one is GOLDEN HOUR which was used in ZZā€™s vlog in Milan. It was a pretty popular song back then but it became more know because of ZZā€™s post and even the singer reacted to it. Since then, itā€™s been a favorite among BXGs considering the meaning of it too.
This is what WYBā€™s playlist looked like on 3/28/23 People who follow said he hasnā€™t updated it for a week and then suddenly this track is added in. A piano version of Golden Hour. They say WYB usually adds relaxing music like piano tracks and some of nature, but not often. So itā€™s interesting how this one was added. At the time, they just donā€™t know the relevance. ( this screenshot was taken 00:38 3/29 but it has been this way since 3/28 )
Tumblr media
and um hello to the rihanna songs! he is such a fanboy! as he should. and also kendrick! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼
then XZS posts the vlog with that BGM the next day.
Tumblr media
dude, what are the chances. these vlogs are edited real time, we know that xzs team were working hard to feed content so the song must have been decided then and there. wyb listening to that the day before, next day itā€™s the BGM for ZZā€™s vlog? iā€™m just thinking about ZZ sending it to him first to watch then WYB decided to add the song to his playlist. Or maybe they have already been lovin it and decided to use it on ZZā€™s vlog.
so sweet!!!! šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹
the most recent one is this updated 2/13 ( the 3rd track i blurred sung by faye wong, i already talked about here ) :
Tumblr media
The first one is this song ā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļø which is about accompanying someone as a form of love. and isnā€™t that so them? itā€™s a known message that they both believe in, accompanying that person is a way of showing your love. screenshot 1 is from YT of a native speaker translating the title and thatā€™s the one iā€™m going with.
also, sorry but iā€™m linking R1SEā€™s cover of the song cause itā€™s beautiful. šŸ«¶šŸ¼
Tumblr media Tumblr media
youtube
AND THESE LINES! WYB is such a romantic! I cannot! Itā€™s so him! Someone who will like and love this one thing and will stick to it till the end. šŸ„¹
Accompanying you to turn loneliness into bravery
I lost again and again, I didnā€™t leave
Accompanying is the longest love confession
How long is the future
Stay with you until the story is finished
Tumblr media
This is the second one, cloudy day. Which he was also allegedly listening to back in 3/2022 when he was filming and they havenā€™t seen each other for month.
Tumblr media
What does the sky look like
What is love like
Several clouds forgot where to go on a cloudy day
Missing and loneliness
Blowed into the left ear
Maybe I canā€™t remember, but I canā€™t forget the time
That secret happiness
What to say to the cloudy day
From what i can gather, itā€™s about thinking of love and the good things even if itā€™s a cloudy day. Usually it must feel sad, but this person still chooses to see the good in it. Again, this is so WYB. He sees it and does not mope, he remembers the blue sky and white clouds instead.
Eason Chan is a famous singer that a lot of people listen to so i know that WYB is not the only person in China who probably has one of his songs on his playlist. Compared to Golden Hour which was unusual and the timing being sus. However for this, the fact that itā€™s added close to Valentines Day? Is this what he is feeling? So freakin in love! ā™„ļøšŸ„¹
Anyway, I hope they had fun with the time they had together last CNY break ( allegedly ) and that their love endures & flourishes in the years to come! šŸ«¶šŸ¼

I just saw your recent post on AM stans hating on Milex stansā€¦ I need a catching up please. What about LV and Amanda (?) and Matt too? I rarely ever dive deep into bands and their members, I just like to appreciate their music.
Thank you ā™”
! long post incoming and i want to point out that i don't plan on using this blog to discuss any of these people (only maybe very rarely) - i don't like them, i don't think they're good people, i don't want to argue with people who think otherwise, and i usually ignore whatever they're up to - my main focus will always be on milex/miles !
hi anon! <3 i have no idea how much you know already, or if you basically don't know anything related to these three, or any of them. i will say that i have no screenshots concerning the things that i mention, but searching their names up on tumblr and/or scrolling through blogs like @/shit-talk-turner and @/alexstorm will make things more clear.
this whole thing started when louise posted a screenshot yesterday of an am fan saying some dumb shit about her in the comments and bringing up alexa (i still can't believe she posted this). she posted this with some equally stupid words (i don't have the screenshot - you can find it on twitter/tumblr/ig/tiktok/wherever), and matt then reposted her story, jumping to protect her (maybe amanda did too, i don't know). then she managed to screenshot some nice comments and posted those too, saying that 'love always wins' or something similar, and that haters can kiss her ass (this definitely didn't come across as her craving and asking for some compliments; she definitely doesn't need people babying her in order for her to feel good about herself) - which reminded me of something similar that amanda said like a year ago, that they don't pay attention to the haters anyways, of course after posting a long paragraph paying attention to them (makes me laugh just to think about it).
there are so many other hysterical and foolish things she does, like posting pictures of a messy bed (look, i'm fucking alex turner!), selfies with suspicious rings, other pics hinting at alex's presence, calling paparazzis to take pictures of them on the beach, pretending to be jane birkin and alex to be serge gainsbourg, going off about how independent she is while living off of alex's money, somehow managing to make matt's and amanda's marriage about her (with amanda encouraging her), 'accidentally' always doing these when miles has important things going on, etc etc (the fact that her and miles never interacted in real life is also deeply concerning. alex, dear, you should always trust your best friend when they don't like your partner, they always end up being right - especially knowing that miles was always on really good terms with alex's exs). it's clear that she's deeply insecure and adores when the attention is on her and when people are talking about her, and if she goes for a long period without this, she just has to pull something that will get fans talking. she's trying so hard to fit in and be the sexy rockstar girlfriend that she just ends up looking stupid.
if you don't know the real reasons why some people don't like louise, i'm just gonna post some links about her that pretty much sum it all up:

about amanda... now, if i remember correctly, amanda had a blog dedicated to her music, and people dug up some screenshots in which she replies to someone and uses the n-word, and then another post where she's being racist. these screenshots are somewhere in the depths of my phone and it would be impossible to find them, and regardless, these screenshots are so old that she could've well changed for the better since then.
the problem with her is the fact that she's having arguments in the comments with young fans (asking stuff like did they have brain tumours for breakfast and other ridiculous things...or was that louise?) and posts even more ridiculous stories in response to people bullying louise, and protecting her like she's a toddler who can't take care of herself. the pure arrogance and self-importance with which she communicates her ideas is just mental, she thinks that she's on the top of the world, and encourages louise to act the same way. it's baffling that two 40-ish women think that bullying 14 year olds will achieve anything other than encouraging other 'fans' to act the same way.
the thing about matt is just basically the fact that ever since he's been with amanda, he acts the same way as her. now, i know there's been some issue about some idiots commenting about his daughter, which made him deactivate his ig account, and i have absolutely no words for the people who dared to say anything about that poor, innocent, completely blameless child. but even before this, he turned to the same kind of arrogance as amanda and reposted all her stories concering louise. the way that they need to say over and over again what a good person louise is, how much alex loves her, how great their relationship is, how beautiful and kind and caring she is... makes you really question if she really is indeed all those things (especially if you opened those links i posted). more importantly, what exactly do they plan to achieve arguing with teenage girls? it's so childish, my god, they are only adding fuel to the fire. god knows what they're telling alex and also god knows what he thinks about it all.
there's something that i'm not 100% sure about, but i'm gonna say it in the hopes that someone will see this and will tell me if this is wrong or not: matt cheated on breana when both her parents died (this one is definitely true), and left her with 1 year old amelia, and fucked off to live with another woman (amanda denies being the woman in question, i have no idea). she was solo parenting for a while (breana said all these in a podcast), then matt woke up and decided that he wants something to do with his daughter after all, and ever since then he takes care of her too - good job love, you're still horrible though.
in short, l&a's insanely childish antics dragged matt into the whole thing too. they're constantly throwing hissy fits, in hopes to achieve god knows what, and then they feel proud of themselves for telling teenage girls off. which makes you think, what would happen if am would be 10 times more popular than they are know, and louise would get 10 times the hate she gets now? or even better, what would happen if louise would get the same amount of hate miles gets on the daily? she said in her screenshot that she knows that it's only a minority of the fandom that leave such mean comments - then what's the point of paying attention to it? all this just shows another reason why these two definitely don't like each other - miles has brains, the other one... well, i'm sorry. i tried my best to like them and look past their mistakes,but i just can't do it.
