Thank you Kris 💖💖💖💖

[ithinkabouttzu]

I love your writing!!! I feel like you would do this so well but if it’s too much I totally get it! I was wondering if you could do a how easy co reacts to a readers crazy ex bf, like restraining order level crazy, maybe past trauma that they never ever talked about before but suddenly the guy is around so it gets brought up? Reader seems terrified and they realize why type of thing. Doesn’t even have to be all reactions either… maybe just winters, Speirs, guarnere, bull, and Liebgott?

Yes of course thank you for your request!! I hope you enjoy it! 💖

Easy co.’s reaction to their s/o having a crazy ex

genre: romance, angst, jealousy?

warnings: Fighting; violence, swearing (reader is gn!)

Description: The easy co. boys reaction to their s/o (you) seeing your crazy ex in public

Taglist: @executethyself35 @linhkhanhcps @1waveshortofashipwreck @grumpy-liebgott @barbeygirl @samwinchesterslostshoe @ronsenthal @sweetxvanixlla (If you want to be on this list, let me know!! :))

BoB masterlist

Dick Winters: You and him would be out downtown, window shopping and enjoying one another’s time. He’s very attentive so I feel like if something was wrong with you he’d notice it immediately. He’d see you constantly fiddling with your hands and glancing away. “What’s wrong honey?” He would ask you before seeing them. Your ex, walking towards you two. He would immediately take the initiative and move you and him away from your ex. Making sure that you never have to worry about coming face to face with him. It’s a very rare moment where he gets very protective over you. When you tell him what happened with you and your ex, he feels furious. He somehow wishes he could have been there for you, to make sure you never got hurt in any way possible. He promises to you that he will never hurt you or let anything happen to you, he swears by it.

Bill Guarnere: I feel like he’s one of those boyfriends who already does some research on your ex/s wayyy before getting in a relationship with you. So when you guys are out and about and he sees him, you don’t have to worry about him not coming up to y’all, because he’s already walking up to him ready to beat the hell out of him. (he’s a whoop-ass and explain later type of guy) I think he gets more emotional than you do. Just because he loves you so much and would hate to see you uncomfortable, especially when he’s around. I also feel like he’d take the “protector” role very seriously in y’all’s relationship so be prepared for that also. He’d spend the rest of the day just making up to you and trying his best to make you feel safe.

Joe Liebgott: You and him would be having a cute little date at the zoo, looking at all the cute animals and enjoying the nice weather, I think both of you are too distracted with one another to notice that there is a weird looking person walking up to y’all very quickly. Joe notices that you look uncomfortable first, and when he sees your ex he finally connects the dots and gets very defensive over you. He kinda has this instinct where he needs to protect you at all costs, like pushing you behind him in case things get out of hand lol. “If you gotta problem, pal, you can tell me” You honestly have to pull Lieb out of a fight no kidding. “do something like that again and see what happens” Is definitely threatening your dumb ass ex. He feels so bad bc he felt like seeing your ex ruined the date, but promises to make it up to you. “I swear darlin’ I’ll never be like them.”

Bull Randleman: He would have taken you out on a beautiful dinner after a long week. Something nice that you and him both deserve, all until you see your ex. In all honesty he would hate to see you scared. Like it makes him so angry, all he wants to do is hold you and tell you everything will be okay. He sees you so nervous and genuinely doesn’t know what’s going on, until he sees you looking at someone who looks a lot like your ex that he’s seen before. He has to mentally talk himself out of going up to your ex, and just “talking” to them. In reaction to all this he just keeps you close and offers for you and him to leave the area if you’d like. “I promise you, sweet thing, you don’t have to worry about them anymore. I’m here now.” He just wants to take you away from the situation and let you pick what you guys do for the rest of the evening. He probably has a one-on-one conversation with your ex while you wait in the car. “Whatever happened in the past, it’s over. Don’t ever look at them again.”

Ronald Speirs: It’s pretty self explanatory on how this guy would act. He doesn’t fly completely off the rails but it’s very obvious he wants to commit crimes on your ex. Like if looks could kill your ex would have been obliterated into the air. And if your ex APPROACHES you?? Oh it’s game on. He really doesn’t have an excuse to be cordial anymore. He goes for the, “Honey, is this guy/gal bothering you? Do I need to do something about it?” He is the most intimidating person ever in this situation. Verbal threats are definitely said from him, clear warnings if anything. Seeing you so nervous and scared sets something scary off inside of him. Like he’s ready to tear anyone apart just to make sure you are safe and sound. If anything you’ll be needing to calm him down for the rest of the night. “If you ever see him/her around here close to you, let me know and i’ll handle it” It’s safe to say that you won’t have to worry about them again lmao.

I hope you all enjoyed!! If you did, make sure and help a writer out by leaving a like or reblog, your words mean the world!! 🧡

OMG SARAH THE FLUFFY EVENING HAS MY HEART🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Could you do Joe Keery or Steve Harrington (whichever you feel this fits best) with something like "I had a dream about you".

Just something super fluffy and sweet where maybe the dream is about the future or something?! Idk you always have the best ideas so whatever comes to mind🥰

Thank u Sarah u love xxxxx

Hiii babes!! Uhh stooopppp the “i had a dream about you” is one of the best fluffy prompts ever😭😭 I went with Steve I don’t know why he just popped into my head for this and I gave it to you in a conversation if that’s okay?? I love youuu!! You’re so welcome!!💖

Want in on Fluffy Friday? Look here✨

*Steve didn’t mean to wake you up but he just had to tell you about his dream*

“Baby…baby? Are you awake?” “Huh?…what?…no…I’m not.” “Sweetheart I just had the best dream.” “Stevie it’s…six in the morning we work at ten can you tell me about it later?” “No I have to tell you now…it..it was about you.” “If it’s one of those sex fantasy dreams just keep it to yourself…” “what? No it wasn’t…one of those..will you just open your eyes for me please?” “Fine…this better be good Steven Andrew…” “funny you just said my middle name…in uhm my dream we had a little boy…and his name was Andrew after uh well..i guess after me?…but he was like three or maybe four it’s hard to tell but he was outside in the backyard.” “We had a backyard?” “Oh yeah baby we had a whole house like two three bedrooms and your own walk in closet.” “Oh this dream sounds nice…what was Andrew doing in the backyard?” “He was playing and you were standing outside watching him and I was getting home from work and he ran to me and…and then you turned around and you…you were like super pregnant and I think it was a girl because i saw a little glimpse of the nursery and it was pink and white…” “so we had a little boy and possibly a little girl?” “Yes it was just….it was perfect and…I want to give you that..a house and a backyard and…a family.” “Yeah? You want a family with me?” “Of course..I love you..so fucking much.” “I love you too Steve.”

[elliotts-personal-property]

Here’s a question. If we are tying Joe to a car, what era are we going for?

And are we restricting it to cars or can it be any form of transport?

And just for an idea:

💖💖💖

You’re asking the real questions here😭💗

The real question is why aren’t we doing every era??

I’m making a list for the pros of each one:

1.) High ’N’ Dry Joe: I can pull and tug on his brown curls all I want🤭

2.) Pyromania Joe: He looks so subby, I mean LOOK AT THAT SMILE👀

3.) Self Titled/Modern Joe: This era has the most experience of course, and I feel like he would love being humiliated on the hood of a car🥵

As for the mode of transportation I think it can be any one really. The only thing is I feel like a motorcycle may be a bit difficult (but don’t think I’ll be easily deterred 😏🤭)

But why limit it to boats, cars, semis, and motorcycles? Let’s add planes into the mix too🥰

And it doesn’t have to be the hood of a car, it could be the roof too. There better not be any dents or scratches after the fact though.

Hopefully these were all the answers you were looking for, and thank you for all the pictures, they’re greatly appreciated🥰💗💗💗

rockstar! eddie x nepobaby reader???? idk probably reader would a daughter of two famous actors or singers and they meet on a carpet, fall in love and started dating in secret and 💞💓💓💖💘⭐️😭💌 sound so perfect probably i would cry

It's taken me so long to write this but I'm actually turning this into a series!!! This seems like a really nice universe to explore, so I'm writing some hcs now of their story and you guys will get the full fics next. I need a name for the series so you are more than welcome to give ideas!!!! That being said as always my content is +18 only and requests are open. Thanks! And thank you for this request, love! 💖💖

First thing first I can imagine reader being the kid of a famous musician in the rock/metal scene and the mother being an actress. An only child but not too spoiled, I think her parents wouldn't really hand her everything in a silver platter.

However nepotism is nepotism so when she starts to show an interest in acting it's not that hard to get a job, even if she asked to be treated like the others.

Eddie and reader meet at a red carpet for an event involving dad's band.

Both of them are like holy shit how are you even real.

Of course they exchange numbers but for the public eye it ends there. Just two kids being besties.

H O W E V E R

They really click. Text constantly, they send each other silly selfies, they tell all about their days, some text that almost cross the line between friends or more.

So naturally both Gareth and Steve tell him to just ask reader out.

Eddie is like no.

And everyone just ???????????

He is just scared of the outcome but of course readers says yes. Only he forgets to tell the boys so like no one know.

NO ONE.

They are like teenagers, sneaking in and out, booking hotel rooms to have silly little dates under silly little names.

And of course the first person to find out is reader's dad and poor Eddie is scared shitless. But he loves Eddie and agrees to keep it a secret because how could he say to his little kid.

So now they get secret dates and family dinners with r's family and Wayne.

Fast forward to a year later, both happy, the friends know, everyone is cool with keeping it lowkey and then they get papped.

And shit goes down. Like everyone loves the couple but they are both so angry their little bubble of privacy got destroyed.

And the fans!!!! They are so happy but so ready to harass the tabloids to leave them alone.

And suddenly the two are doing red carpets together, looking so in love. And of course they are photographed out and I'd like to think they do like Emma and Andrew or Joe and Sophie just trolling the paps in the best way possible.

All in all it's a very sweet but dramatic relationship.

But he knows they are IT for him so he is willing to absolutely kick anyone's ass for them. And he does.

More coming soon.

[pensiveant]

Tagged by @besnail to post 5 fave songs, thank you!! 💖 I'll just go with some severely underrated favorites of mine:

The Beachland Ballroom by IDLES - the studio recording is more polished of course but seeing Joe Talbot screaming his heart out just hits different, ya know.

Vidar by Legacy of Vydar - this one isn't necessarily heart-wrenching or touching in any way really, it just slaps severely. This band dropped a dozen tracks and then fucked off forever, and I'm grateful they were here at all.

JUDAS by The Reverent Marigold - I don't understand how tumblr isn't all over this, I mean toxic yaoi but it's t4t Judas/Jesus? Hello?? I thought you guys loved that. Just check out these insane lyrics: Is counting silver now the only time you think of me? / I, who dared to love unblinking / The bright son of Galilee? / On the mountain he held all creation in his sight / And foresaw the killing kiss we shared at Gethsemane that night / So down through the ages, let my name be ever known / As the one who gave him up to death so he could roll away the stone / You curse me but he loved me, too / And held me in his arms / And I am only Judas Iscariot / He was the son of God

Ring of Fire by Frayle - I just know it in my soul that this cover would have blown the thigh-high boots clean off Johnny Cash.

A Good Thing by Kyle Stibbs - I want a full-length album about all the fucked up shit this family has going on but at the same time, this song is soooo effective with how short it is that it's hard to be disappointed there isn't more.

Tagging @amdusccias @fat-fem-and-asian @cannedmonster @frizox @weird-ecologies @voidsparkk and whoever else wants to share some music!!

[hertwood]

Please elaborate on ttpd being a sargewood album 👀

hi thank u so much for caring abt the rot in my brain 💖

ok so. mayhaps i am talking out of my ass here, i havent rly fathomed the whole album yet, and there are songs i associate w/ a variety of ships/fic ideas. BUT more songs fic sargewood than any other ship so. allow me to explain.

this is all speculative to taylor swift’s life so its not #confirmed but allegedly this album is abt leaving long term relationship she felt trapped in (joe), and then rebounding in a short term fling (matty). if we look at these songs through the lens of joe=f1 and matty=indycar, therefore kyle, this is how i fathom these songs in a sargewood way.

OBVIOUSLY this does not work for many of the songs, but for the ones it does it is so compelling. also she broke up with matty anyway and he allegedly SUCKS so i’m only rly considering “early relationship” songs here.

Fresh out the slammer is probably the best example: leaving a relationship and immediately knowing where you’re going next. if logan doesn’t have a future in f1, indycar /is/ the place to go, and kyle is his connection. if he gets dropped, you KNOW kyle is one of the first people he’s calling 

Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

NEXT SONG lets talk Florida!!! the original song I claimed as sargewood for obvious reasons!! ofc, its great bc Florida is there home state. But if we can go back to joe and matty for one second (i’m sorry)

In So Long, London, London not only represents the place, but also Joe and their relationship. I did not come up with this, but I saw people on tiktok saying that while joe=london, matty=florida. the entire song is abt being trapped monotony of her old life (london/joe) and escaping to the new exciting florida(matty).

this fits logan just as florida proper—he can always go home and relax to take a break from the stress of f1. BUT if u wanna see it in a sargewood way--they can both escape their stressful racing lives, come back to florida, to EACHOTHER. this song makes me insane abt them fr. I also like to hear “fuck me up, florida” as “fuck me in florida” AND YOU CAN TOO

I need to forget, so take me to Florida I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida What a crash, what a rush, fuck me in Florida

LAST SONG i’m using for this thesis, but i’m not ruling out fathoming more as sargewood through the joe=f1 matty=indy/kyle lens. it’s a long ass album, i’m employed, i can only do so much

BUT LETS TALK FORTNIGHT

this fathoming was key to me liking this song. HOWEVER while the last two can be fathomed as sargewood in general, fortnight fits a specific fic idea i have where i need to explain some lore first.

logirlie historians will know how after the 2020 f3 season, logan was in a sort of a limbo career wise before he got the call from williams and we know where it goes from there. in this time he was testing for indy, thinking his european racing career was basically over.

so the fic idea. kyle & logan have always had a bit of a ~non platonic connection~ but neither has acted on it due to the distance etc etc. but in this short period of time (a fortnight, perhaps 👀), when its looking like logan might be heading to indycar, the dam breaks and they have a short fling that is more serious than either will admit after, when it ends when logan goes back to f3.

The ACTUAL fic would be years later, where logan leaves f1 and goes to indycar in 2025(?). years have passed, and they've stayed friends this whole time so it /should/ be fine, but now that the distance is no longer an issue all those old feelings come bubbling right up to the surface. they could, of course, just communicate and get together easy peasy but that wouldn't be a fun fic would it? of COURSE it'd be messy.

I haven't written anything, it's more of just a nebulous concept rn and idk if it'll ever go anywhere but it is ALL i think abt when listening to fortnight. The florida and car reference in the bridge is just the cherry on top

And for a fortnight there, we were forever (Back in 2020/2021, what we had was real)

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather (We talk sometimes (2021-2024) like it's normal and nothing happened)

Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors (Now (2025) we see each other all the time and pretend it's all platonic)

I love you, it's ruining my life (My career would be so less complicated if you weren't in it)

Move to Florida, buy the car you want But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me

[fobredactedove]

I just wanna treat Joe like a dog so fckn bad

only let him sit on the floor next to me, leaning his head against my leg. tugging him around on a leash. only letting him eat and drink from a bowl on the floor. keeping him gagged/muzzled because good puppies don't speak of course!

letting him fuck me only when he's worked himself up enough humping my leg, making sure the leash stays on so I can force him to keep fucking me even when he's already cum and crying from the overstimulation, and if he gets too noisy gagging him again 💖

<3

[stoookes]

Omega Jos!!! Did not see that coming AT ALL 🤯🤯🤯 I thought it would be Joe. I loved Stuart finally getting accepted into Ali's group and realizing who his real friends were. And I love that now, after Freddie, Stuart suspects everyone in the England team of being a secret omega, because it makes us as readers do the same. Previously, Stuart wasn't really suspicious of anyone, and because we're reading the fic through his eyes, I didn't really give much thought to whether anyone else was a secret omega on the team, and assumed stu was the only one, but now I'm wondering! Love the Brinn, have been waiting for that ever since you made cookerson official, which of course ruled out any chances of branderson 😉 And then KP finding out ugggh I'm so scared why did you have to break me like that?? And ending that chap on such a cliffhanger too, I can't wait to find out how everything turns out and hoping it doesn't go totally south for Stu. Loved this chapter, even with the horror ending 😭, looking forward to the next one! 💖

Ehehehe - all my plans worked 😏 I knew you all thought it was Joe and that was the point 😉 And yes - being suspicious is likely wise. Did you really think only Stu would be a hiding omega?

I really enjoyed writing the Brinn - was nice to give Stuart some good, happy scenes for once. Plus I knew how it was going to end so I had to give you all a little bit of happy before it went to shit 🥲

I’m already working on C7 because it runs hand in hand with the closing reveal, so hopefully the wait isn’t too long! Thanks so much for reading 🥰

TAG GAME WEDNESDAY: FANDOM EDITION

Thank you so much for tagging me @energievie this is epic! I'll go ahead and tag (but of course no pressure implied) @nalyra-dreaming @thelioncourts @the-heart-of-leo @selling-my-soul-for-tony-stark @dracosollicitus @almostcanon @maddielle @magslensherr @therowdybee @beepbeepsan @boutiquetraveltravelboutique

Your Name: Katharina ~ the German version of Katherine, from the Greek καθαρός (katharos). Feel free to message me if you want fun Bible facts around the term appearing in the Beatitudes 😊

Your Age: 37

Your First Fandom(s): Rose of Versailles & Sailor Moon

Your Current Fandoms: like 90% IWTV, but also OFMD, ST, TOG, and a smidge of Good Omens, The Witcher, and Shadow & Bone

How did you first get into fandom? As a kiddo watching anime dubs on TV and then buying Mangas, too ✨️

How long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? I came out of a decade long lurkdom in August of 2020 and haven't looked back since 😎

How often do you read fanfics? Not as often as I'd like 🫠

Top three characters from your current fandom(s)? Oh! Um - Louis, Lestat, Armand, Eddie, Stede, Aziraphale

Have you ever written a fic for a fandom? If so, shout it out! Check out my pinned post for a breakdown by fandom category list/links 😎 On average I write anywhere from 20k-40k a month 😳

Have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? See above reply 😘 At this rate I draw on average one piece a week, and am loving it ❤️

Share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: this is 1000% projecting but I myself am a queer (aspec) religious (Catholic) person and seeing rep for it in media feels lovely 🥹👉🏻👈🏻 If there's only crumbs of that potential, I will gather it up and try to make a feast out of it. Some of my fave works have been ones dedicated to interfaith dialogue because I used to (before chronic health issues worsened) be involved in that sort of thing and quite enjoyed it ~ I love seeing how others navigate those two core parts of an identity together, and adore exploring it further through the creative process ✨️

You’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. What episode, clip, or scene are you showing them?

For IWTV, oh gosh there's so many! But maybe the "Of course OF COURSE of courseeee" moment lol. But also just some of the humorous moments of Claudia baying like a sheep, and the coffin being thrown out behind Lestat, and Lestat’s train performance muwhahaha.

For OFMD, Oluwande's "Coming Nana" lol, and THE KISS, and bathtub scene!!

For Stranger Things, all of Will's and Eddie's scenes

For Good Omens, all the Aziraphale being adorable moments 💖

For TOG, Nicky and Joe and Andy being a bad ass!!

For The Witcher, all the Ciri, and Calanthe moments

For Shadow & Bone, Nina and Matthias (but Jesper and Wylan are super cute, too!)

And finally, what does fandom mean to you? Oh gosh, here come the rambles - alright, so, being chronically ill, homebound a chunk of the year (and so many appointments it would make your head spin), and being NDcoded, having pocket friends I can find throughout fandom spaces has significantly changed and improved my extroverted depleted tanks from the last like decade. For me, fandom is creativity, exploring my own personhood through that process, and connecting with people I might not have ever found any other way - and if I'm lucky enough, I find some fellow weirdo besties to just be weird with in between errands and apps. I'm grateful for my pocket friends, and that fandom helped me find them 🫂❤️

[toomanyfandomsneverenoughtime]

Thank you for the tag @baynton 💖

List 5 favourite shows (in no particular order) and answer questions accordingly. 1. You, Me and the Apocalypse 2. The Wrong Mans 3. BBC Ghosts 4. The Inbetweeners 5. The Office (US) (Ignore the fact that three of these are Mat things, it's all I've really been interested in for the last three years or so.)

1. Who is your favourite character in 2?

Sam, of course <3

2. Who is your least favourite character in 1?

Ohhh, I'm weirdly fond of most of the characters but Spike is annoying as fuck.

3. What's your favourite episode of 4?

"Will's Birthday", Series 2, Episode 3 because I too had a dinner party for my 18th birthday based on this, unfortunately, I did not serve Coq Au Vin.

4. What is your favourite season of 5?

Season 6 has to be my favourite for Jim and Pam's wedding episode and the birth of Cece 🥺

5. What's your favourite relationship in 3?

Actual canon relationship has to be Alison/Mike, but ship wise, I'm a Thomas/Julian fan.

6. Who is your anti relationship in 2?

As long as Sam is getting wrecked, I don't really care? So I guess any ship not involving Sam?

7. How long have you watched 1?

It'll be about 2 or 3 years now.

8. How did you become interested in 3?

I saw a clip of it during one of the COVID lockdowns and it was being advertised as Horrible Histories for grown-ups. I told my sister about it because we sort of watched Horrible Histories as teens and she said we could watch it. I'll never forget saying to her before we started watching it, "Do you remember when everyone was obsessed with Mathew Baynton back when Horrible Histories was on?" and look what fucking happened.

9. Who is your favourite actor in 4?

Joe Thomas <3

10. Which show do you prefer 1, 2 or 5?

Probably number 1, especially if it had more seasons.

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of 1 or 3?

There are more episodes of 3 and I've been watching it for slightly longer so 3.

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Charlotte Hinchcliffe beecause she's fit and doesn't really end up in any massively embarrassing situations 🤣

13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 5?

Get Dwight to do it (my favourite character is Jim, basic, I know 🙈).

14. Would a 3/4 crossover work?

It would since a few of the supporting cast from The Inbetweeners have been in Ghosts now - the humour would have to change though, preferably Ghosts' humour to be more vulgar so I can hear Thomas saying "pussy", thanks.

15. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.

Paula and Mary - power mums balancing each other out and bringing up their boys together in the best way possible 🤣 Also, Ariel/Jamie, very unlikely but strangely okay.

16. Overall, which show has the better cast, 3 or 5?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I meannnnnnnn, fuck. Nah, I'm not betraying Mat like that. 3.

Def Leppard x Reader

Masterlist

For @steveperrysorgasmicpipes

A/N: So as requested this is a fic where the guys look after the reader. I incorporated a condition which I have and the symptoms which relate to me. Obviously each person with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder is different, and not all symptoms relate to everyone. I am happy to answer any question about the condition as I am trying to be more open about it whilst I come to terms with my diagnosis. Writing this fic has helped a lot and I hope you enjoy it. Also thank you to @elliotts-personal-property, @bring-on-the-heartbreak-joe and @i-love-def-leppard as well as all my lovely mutuals who have been there for me recently, I appreciate you all 💖💖

---

Groaning, I sit up as carefully as I can and climb off of the hotel bed. From experience, I knew it was better to move around rather than sit still and let all my joints stiffen up even worse. I also knew that I had to go to work, hence the reason I was in a hotel room in the first place. 

Being Def Leppard’s assistant definitely had its perks. First of all, although the hours were long, the entire band was understanding if I couldn’t make it into work one day. Not that I had ever told them about my condition and had instead made up excuses as to why I couldn’t work on my bad days.

I was hoping it would remain that way. Unfortunately after hearing all the cracks of my joints as I stood up, I knew that it would take more than a hot shower and some painkillers to help me today. Taking a deep breath, I got ready for the day as quickly as my body would let me. I was hoping that I would be able to hide the pain but as I walked out of my hotel room, I felt myself walk with the familiar limp from the pain in my hip. 

Def Leppard were on tour with Mötley Crüe and whilst I didn’t have too much interaction with the other band, I was really hoping that today of all days would be one where I could avoid them altogether. However, that was not meant to be as both bands were sitting down ready for breakfast. Plastering a smile on my face I went over and joined them. 

The only good thing was at the moment it was just the two bands there and that their wives were not on this leg of the tour. This meant that there were less people I had to hide my pain from. 

“Morning guys.” I grinned at them all, hoping to disguise the wince I made as I took the seat between Joe and Phil that had been saved for me.

There was a round of ‘mornings’ coming from the group, most of them almost incoherent as they struggled to wake up for the morning.

Despite feeling unwell, I knew I had to eat on my painkillers so I decided to grab a few pieces of fruit and just nibble on them whilst trying to engage in the conversations around me. As much as I tried to hide my discomfort, I knew I had failed when I saw Sav looking at me concerned over the table. As I looked into his blue eyes, which had not faded with time, I saw the question that was lingering in his mind.

I subtly nodded my head at him and gave a small smile, trying to convey that I was alright. However, much to my dismay, this had only attracted the attention of Joe who was seated to my right.

“You okay Y/N/N? You don’t look right.” 

Quietly I took a deep breath yet again and looked towards him, knowing that if I didn’t he wouldn’t believe the lie that was about to escape my mouth.

“Of course, I'm just tired. Didn’t get enough sleep s’all.”

It was very obvious on his face that he did not believe me but he did not press the matter any further in front of the others. Instead, he just looked at Sav and then the rest of his own band, all of them talking silently, something they had mastered over the years. The only upside was that the guys of Mötley Crüe hadn’t noticed that something was up. Whether it was deliberate because it didn’t concern them or they were really that oblivious didn’t matter. I was just grateful I didn’t have another group of eyes trained on me. 

When we finished breakfast, the bands had a day off so all I had to focus on was making sure everything was ready for them when they next perform. This meant that I should be running around all day between the hotel and the venue. I was dreading the day ahead of me, knowing roughly how it would go. I knew I would have to keep myself hydrated and well fed to try and prevent the dizzy spells as well as carrying my joint braces and supports just in case. 

I carefully made the trek back up to my hotel room, vaguely aware of the eyes that are on me as I leave. I carefully pack my bag for the day, making a mental note of everything that I have to get done. Just as I am about to leave I hear a knock at my hotel room door. Gently padding over to the door, I try to ignore the limp in my step. When I get there and open the door I am shocked to find all five members of Def Leppard standing there.

With a sigh I move out of the way, allowing them all to enter the room. They quickly made themselves at home with Rick, Vivian and Phil sat on the sofa and Joe and Sav perched on the foot of my bed. The two men on the bed allowed me room to sit in between them. Reluctantly I made my way over. Usually, I wouldn’t mind sitting and talking to the band, but right now, when I knew all they wanted to talk about was me, I would rather be anywhere else.

“So are you gonna tell us what’s going on or are we all gonna have to guess.” Joe started though his voice was soft and filled with concern. As I looked around, all I saw was five sets of eyes staring back at me waiting for a reply. 

“Honestly I’m fine. I’m just a bit tired.” I told them wanting them off of my case.

“Don’t lie to us Y/N.” Phil spoke, his tone the same as Joe’s. “What is really going on?”

I sighed as I looked around again. It was obvious they were not going to leave me alone until I told them what was going on. 

“I have a condition called Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder.” I started as I looked down at my lap. It wasn’t that I was ashamed of my condition but it was hard for me to talk about. 

“I was diagnosed a few years ago but I have been having problems since I was about nine. There are multiple symptoms but the main ones that affect me are chronic pain, fatigue and dislocations. It is incurable but there are things I can do to lower the pain. Some mornings though I just wake up and I know that it is going to be a bad day.”

“How come you’re only telling us this now?” Sav questioned with worry flooding his face.

“I didn’t want to be a bother to anyone. There's not much anyone can do anyway.”

“You still should've told someone Y/N/N.” Viv spoke up. “How many times have you gone through the day in pain and we haven’t noticed.”

“I don’t know. Look I appreciate the concern and everything but I really have to get to work.”

“Are you joking?” Joe scoffed, his eyes wide.

“Umm no, I can’t just stop everything…” I was interrupted by Sav. 

“Yes you can. You’re in pain Y/N. You can’t possibly work like this.”

“I have done in the past.”

“Only because we didn’t know then.” Rick interrupted this time with a pointed look on his face.

Realising this was a battle I was going to lose, I gave in.

“Fine. But I can’t stay in bed all day, if I don’t keep moving then my joints will seize up and I’ll end up in more pain.”

“Whatever you need Y/N. I’m just going to make a few calls so that you can have as long as you need off.” Joe told me before going to leave the room.

When Joe came back the entire day was spent with the five of them looking after me, despite my insistence that I could do it myself. A few times we went for a walk around the hotel corridors so that I could move around a little bit. Overall the whole day was a lot more comfortable than I originally planned. They had made sure that I was taking my pain meds and eating and drinking enough. 

The only time there was trouble was when I had a subluxation in my knee, which is where my knee had a partial dislocation. Whilst painful it was something I could deal with myself. Luckily I had my knee support on hand to strap my knee back up. By the evening time, all of them apart from Joe and Sav had left.

“So Y/N/N, are you going to tell us the real reason as to why you didn’t tell us about your condition?” Joe asked. I looked between him and Sav and I could tell that just like earlier, I wasn’t going to be able to avoid the question.

“When I tell people about my condition they always look at me differently. Whilst I knew that all of you would be the last people to judge me, I’ve gotten used to not talking about it.” I told them, hardly being able to look them in the eye.

“We get that Y/N/N but don’t let yourself be in pain again, alright?” Sav smiled at me.

“Yeah okay. And thank you for today.”

“It’s no problem at all.” Joe smiled as he patted me gently on the shoulder.

Sav did the same and the both of them smiled at me one final time before they left me alone for the evening to get ready for bed.

Over the next few weeks I continued to work with only a few problems but I noticed that all of them looked out for me. Things like offering to carry a heavy bag or walking slightly slower so that I could keep up and if I was honest it was making my life so much easier. Part of me wished that I had told them sooner but at least now they were all aware and I didn't have to struggle on my own anymore.

PLEASE TELL US THE FALL PREDICTIONS i am so fascinated by astrology but i can only kinda figure out the basics (like natal charts and synastry) but transits are so fascinating (and kinda complicated) and and i’d love to hear your interpretations of what’s coming up

omg, tbh my predictions are a bit vague rn!!

i haven't had time to sit down properly and map out any predictions

but

by the end of October, the nodes are changing signs! Ketu will be moving into Virgo, and Rahu will be entering Pisces (based on sidereal transits). players with a placement in Virgo and/or Pisces will transform in some way during this shift, guaranteed

i glanced a bit at joe's birth and moon chart as well as some of the other bengal's players, but my predictions are pretty general!

joe has his saturn + ketu in pisces and rahu in virgo. i def anticipate joe going through a career change/milestone, just taking his natal saturn into consideration alone. (already he's the NFLs highest paid player!)

saturn is the natural ruler of the 10H (career, public image) and 11H (house of gains!) so rahu transiting over it is going to inflate these matters, as well as the houses saturn rules in his chart. the nodes will also be going over his natal rahu/ketu, so there will def be a deep transformation. it will be a fun 18 months to watch but honestly... i anticipate joe receding MORE into hermit mode after a certain time lol

i wish i could say i had a better view of what's to come, but since i have 0 confirmed birth times, everything is just a foggy forecast:

TW: DARK ASTRO MENTIONS BELOW CUT

but since ketu will be entering virgo, i can see a lot of virgo (and Pisces) heavy players experiencing some kind of delay/injury when the season deepens.

i don't like making 'dark' predictions, but i will admit i'm a little worried for the these placements this year, at least on the field. basically anyone really good at carrying the ball, have dominant earth.

so ketu entering virgo will definitely force a few players to 'sit down' and 'reflect', as ketu is dissolution/detachment. so the theme of 'rehabilitation' will be at play.

then rahu entering pisces-- i keep ja'marr in the front of my mind for this transit lol, he has his mars in pisces! one of the very first things the older texts mention about this kind of transit, is that the native should control his anger.

maybe we might get to see some of the ufc moves joe taught him? lol

he should also be taking every precaution he can with his feet! as pisces rules this body part. no expense spared-- rahu can also cause accidents. but this depends on ja'marr's planet periods too. at 'best', ja'marr will probably find himself checking his temper more often 🤧

and of course NOT ALL virgo/pisces placements will get hurt or injured! the nodes shifting promise a necessary change, the breaking of an illusion. it's cleaning out the rot, so i also anticipate a lot of success for these players!

i make these particular 'predictions' because of the nature of their job 💖

-find all things Joe x Princess here✨

*Joe just wants to see if you’re free for lunch or not*

“Hey lovey! What are you doing here?” “Well my darling I just wanted to see if-” “oh one moment Doug is here.” “Doug?…baby who’s-” “it’ll just take a second…” “where are you going?…oh…I see.” “Doug this is Joe…otherwise known as Mr. Quinn…lovey this is Doug the shop’s unofficial mascot.” “Don’t make the dog call me Mr. Quinn that’s so…official.” “It’s what everyone here calls you…” “that’s because they refuse to just call me Joe…” “not that I’m upset to see you but what are you doing here in the middle of the day?” “I wanted to see if I could take you to lunch.” “Oh I already ate…I’m sorry lovey.” “What did you eat?” “Uhm a muffin and a granola bar…with some water I’m half way done with the bottle you filled for me this morning.” “Baby that’s not lunch that’s like a snack…let me take you to lunch…please?” “Fine but only because you said please…”

“I don’t want to go…” “baby we promised Jamie we’d meet him for dinner…” “but I’m so comfortable…I simply can’t be bothered to get up and get dressed.” “What if I help you? Hmmm how does that sound?” “That sounds…fine.” “What do you want to wear? Anything in mind already?” “I was going to wear jeans and that olive green top because you’re wearing black and I thought we’d look cute in black and green.” “I agree princess we will look cute in black and green…let’s start with the jeans first.”

“Okay my love what’s next?” “Another coat of the pink and then…one moment let me read the instructions…oh then we put them under the lamp thing for sixty seconds and…uhm…clear coat.” “Okay so one last coat of pink then cure again then clear coat…do we cure the clear coat?” “Uhm that’s a great question…uh…yes yes we do for uhm…a minute and a half.” “Sounds easy enough…right hand please baby…thank you…did you want me to do your toes as well?” “Would you?” “Of course if that’s what you’d like.” “I’d love to have matching toes.” “Figured as much…oh guess what?” “What?” “I love you.” “Oh damn you’re so smooth with that…I love you too.”

i am noisy and in the mood to enable: 3, 4, 8, 13, from any and all fandom u wish to talk about

HELLO i love that you are enabling me lol thank you 💖

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve ever seen on tumblr

that one time people were making the argument that Nicky’s not white (???? girls. what the fuck)

4. what was the last straw that finally made you block that annoying person?

lol that one time they reblogged art of Joe where his skin was several shades too dark

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

LMAOOOO that Nicky is a caretaker. i think he’s a caring person who has a very strong moral sense of justice and righteousness but i don’t really think he’s a caretaker and tbvh i don’t see any evidence of that in canon. (ik a lot of these opinions are about Nicky today but that’s where my head’s at. also disclaimer that of course write what you want to!)

13. worst blorbofication

actually? Nile. she’s not the worst but it’s bad because people have this tendency to make her a lot more helpless than she actually is. she’s resourceful, clever, and entirely able to take care of herself BUT at the same time, she doesn’t need to be a caretaker for others. i feel like a lot of content is about Nile in relation to others as opposed to about Nile herself and that just kind of misconstrues her character.

Omg I read your Joel and dick ask wrong and thought you were talking about Joe Biden. My brain 😳

I mean. Of course I hope Joe got dicked last night too! 😄

Hope you're doing well, Linda! 💖
