Mixels/TMBG-Related Update

(Keep in mind, this isn't actually real. Just pretend that it is)

Okay so, I'll need to let you know that there won't be a proper TF Tuesday drawing this week.

That's because I'm gonna be busy rehearsing for something rather big.

If you've been reading the News page on the Mixels website, you're probably aware that a Mixels concert based around They Might Be Giants will be happening this Friday at the Desoto Theatre in Rome, GA.

And yes, I will be a part of it.

We'll be doing 2 sets, one with a tape recorder for the percussion, and another with a full band.

Only me, Magnifo, and Chao will be playing during the tape recorder set.

I will be singing the songs relegated to John Linnell (and a few of John Flansburgh's, due to Magnifo's vocal range).

Magnifo will play rhythm guitar (similar to John Flansburgh).

Footi was supposed to be a part of the show instead of Magnifo, but he's currently stuck in a contract with Mr. Burbleton (my former tour manager who nearly broke me back in January), so Magnifo will be filling in for him.

Chao will be playing accordion, and will also do backing vocals on some of the songs.

As for the full band...

Vulk will be playing the keyboard.

Ash (from the Infernites) will be playing lead guitar.

Chao will play the bass, unless she's playing the accordion, in which case Oozly (from the Glorp Corp) will play the bass instead.

And Blip (from the Spikels) will play the drums.

I'll still make posts this week, just don't expect any art that's rather complex.

Update: Why the Desoto Theatre of all places? Well, it's a theatre I went to a number of times as a kid, so it'll be nice to play at a venue that I feel nostalgic for.

my hatred for fabrizio has sky rocketed to new levels cos that cunt completely stripped all the joy n excitement of mbappe to madrid all bc he's addicted to whatsapp cba

[m00sebaby]

i could say something about the six kings slam but i will probably get in trouble so i will just keep my mouth shut.

[ratatatastic]

oh my god so far we've only won one medal and its gold in bmx and el maligno (jose torres) is already at the Casa Rosado (basically like the presidential white house. but pink.) celebrating oh my god that was quick (it has been 4 days)

[moviestarmartini]

someone got offended by a post i make abt every single player that even dares to look at lukita wrong?? 😖😖

[sportsblr]

Is. Is this Chris Kumara???

[ink-n-shadow]

DAD FORCE 141 YOU SAY???

WELL AHEM.

naw naw bc this has been in my brain for WEEKS now and NO ONE has written it yet so-

*ahem*

JOHN PRICE GETTING HIS MAKEUP DONE BY HIS CHILDREN THANK YOU GOOD BYE-

would you believe me if i told you i've thought about the exact same scenario—

john knew that having two daughters would lead to this moment. and by this moment, he means him being sandwiched into an (extremely) uncomfortably small princess chair, bee balanced on one thigh and his youngest daughter (affectionally known as 'worm' or 'wiggleworm') clambering up his midsection to scrub the pink powder into the socket of his eye.

"you're gonna poke daddy's eye out!" bee squawks at her younger sister and bats the little girl's heavy hand away, instead using her own brush to mix the pink and blue together into a muddy purple.

and john's quelling the squabbling with the threat of taking off all the makeup, which instantly has his two girls squealing in protest and begging him to stay put, bee and worm working in tandem to apply the glitter just right on the tip of his nose.

but it all comes full circle when you peek your head into bee's room to tell john that the footy game is on, only to be met face to face with your big burly husband squished into a plastic pink princess chair, smears of pastels across his skin (and in his beard) and glitter caked onto patches of his face. you nearly double over in laughter when worm balances one of her princess crowns on john's head, announcing the makeover was done with a proud smile and a "finished!"

john didn't even know you took a picture of him until he's ambling onto base one day and the boys are rushing up to him, asking him how long it took him to get the glitter off and whether he got to keep the tiara (yes, yes he did. he's gonna go put it in his office right now).

Red Rocks Setlist

Hey guys, so the tour manager wants me to only post about the Oasis-related sets of the tour on this blog. That's why you won't hear anything else from the tour.

================================================

[Taken directly from "News" section of Mixels site]

(Also this isn't actually real)

Thank you all so much for coming to our 1st show of this massive tour! We all had so much fun, and we hope to have even more as the tour continues!

I have asked Davis to list what his band's setlist was like.

-Mr. Burbleton

================================================

That's a full-on lie. I didn't have any fun at all. How are you supposed to have fun when you're playing in an amphitheater, while it's also BELOW FREEZING!!!

And unfortunately, the next show isn't gonna be any better. Have you seen the temperatures in Red Wing, MN?

But regardless, here's our Oasis-styled setlist:

1. Hello

2. Cigarettes and Alcohol/Whole Lotta Love

3. Acquiesce

4. Go Let it Out

5. Columbia

6. Morning Glory

7. Gas Panic!

8. Step Out

9. Champagne Supernova

10. Don't Look Back in Anger

11. I Am the Walrus

I think it's obvious that I'd rather quit than sing a fraction of these songs. My voice is STILL not in very good condition, so him making me sing songs like Morning Glory and C&A is just ridiculous.

What Davis is really trying to say is "Hope to see you at our next show in Red Wing!!"

Pairing: Kita Shinsuke x f!reader

Summary: Literally just papa Kita fluff :')))

WC: 831

A/N: I've been in SUCH a Kita mood lately, it's unreal. This ficlet just flowed out of me, idek where it came from. Tbh I have another fic for him in mind but idk when I'll actually write it aha.

Coming inside after a long day of working in the fields is one of Shinsuke's favorite things. His muscles feel warm with an almost-pleasant ache after so many hours working hard in the sun, and the thought of all he'd accomplished that day fills him with contentment. He makes his way through the house in search of his favorite sight of the day.

He finds it in the nursery. You've just finished changing your son, and now you're tickling his chubby belly, eliciting the sweet sounds of his giggles. You're laughing, too, and the way the sounds twine together is like music to his ears. He leans against the door frame, resting his cheek against the cool wood as he silently watches the two of you.

"Okay, time for your jammies," You eventually coo, turning to the dresser and pulling out a soft blue and white footie pajama set. Your son is babbling away on the changing table. Neither of you have noticed him yet, and he doesn't quite want to break the spell. He watches you tug the pajamas on, and can't help but smile at the soft pinch you give to the baby's irresistibly pudgy leg as you do so.

"All done," You finally announce, lifting him up and pressing a kiss to his soft cheek. "Now, let's go see if Papa's finished working yet." Finally, you turn and catch sight Shinsuke. His smile widens, and you let out a soft gasp of surprise.

"How long were you standing there?" You ask with a breathy chuckle. Having caught sight of his Papa, your son begins to squirm in your arms.

"Not too long," He assures you, stepping into the room to meet you and take your son from your arms. He babbles happily, digging his fingers into the fabric of Shinsuke's shirt. "Hi there," He turns his attention to the little one in his arms, lifting him up to press a few kisses of his own to his cheeks. "Looks like somebody's all ready for bed."

"Yup," You nod, resting your hand on your husband's arm. "Do you mind watching him while I take a quick shower?"

"Of course," He says quickly, leaning in for a kiss. "Take as long as you need. I've got him."

"Thanks," You press another kiss to his cheek, then head off.

"Yer Mama's pretty amazing, ya know," He says softly the moment you're out of earshot. "She takes such good care of ya, even though Papa has to spend so much time outside." Your son blinks up at him, a smile breaking out on his face at the attention from his father. "I know how much ya love her, too," He adds, "I can tell. Probably love her more than yer Papa." He chuckles, without a hint of jealousy. "Can't blame ya. I love her a lot too. More every day."

Your son's eyelids are starting to droop, and he slowly rocks him as he makes his way to the living room. "That's right," He murmurs as he settles down on the couch, gently laying him on his lap. "Just go ta sleep."

He doesn't say much after that, just admiring the child in his arms as his eyes slowly close. His little nose looks just like yours, and Shinsuke rests his fingertip on it ever so gently. Sometimes he just can't resist the delicate features and soft skin of your son, caught up in the wonderment that this small human is a perfect combination of the two of you.

He studies him until you finally emerge from the bathroom, freshly showered and dressed in a soft t-shirt and shorts. You join them on the couch, tucking your legs up beneath you as you rest your cheek on Shinsuke's shoulder, joining him in peering down at your son.

"I don't know how you always get him to sleep so quickly," You murmur. "I'm a little jealous."

Shinsuke shrugs slightly, then presses a tender kiss to the top of your head. "Dunno," He says softly. "I just talk to him."

You shake your head. "Well, whatever you do, it works." You laugh quietly, lapsing into silence for a few moments.

"We should get him to bed," You finally say, sitting more upright. "If you put him down, I'll get a quick meal together for you. I'm sure you're starving."

"I'm alright," He assures you, unable to hold back the smile starting to tug at his lips. "I'll put him down, and then we can make somethin' together." As the two of you stand, he leans in to press a kiss to your lips. He lingers more than he means to, and your hand comes to rest on his cheek.

"I love you," He murmurs as he pulls away, smile mirroring your own.

"I love you too," You reply, and land a final peck on the tip of his nose. Every single moment of his work day is worth it, just for moments like these.
