Beside You...
Pro Hero Bakugo ♡ Pro Hero Reader
Friends to Lovers
Summary: Bakugo always held victory close to his heart, but he held you closer.
From being kids in the playground, to freshly new homeowners talking about marriage, and til you both took your last breaths with a smile... you were the thing he held closest.
(This is Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's fault for cooking up Die With A Smile. Had me in my feels.🫠)
TW: ANGST !! and some suggestive writing but no smut. Read at own risk.
Tumblr media
Age 6
Bakugo knew from a young age who he's supposed to be. Even as kids change their future occupation to astronauts to doctors, he never had doubt. He was meant to be a hero. He was meant to protect you.
"Hey! Stop pulling my hair it's not funny!"
The young blonde hears your cries from a mile away as two of the older kids from the playground tug your hair and take your toy away.
"Or what? you're just a pathetic weakling who can't even fight back." The two kids laugh as they continue to torment you.
Suddenly, a big explosion was directed at the two bullies sending them flying. Bakugo had never had such perfect precision with his quirk before. It was his first perfect and biggest shots he's had since his quirk manifestation.
"Die you extras! If you even think about bullying her again, I'll blow you to bits!" He barked like a high squeaking chihuahua standing in front of your body that was thrown down from the blast. Safe to say you never saw those bullies again.
"Get up. Your dress is going to get dirty." Bakugo huffs, sounding angry but still holding his hand out with a blush.
Your eyes widen as you take his hand to get up, and you give him a big hug, causing him to be taken aback.
"You're my hero!"
Bakugo never went to the park without you after that. Not if both of your parents wanted to deal with constant crying/yelling from the two of you...
Age 14
After the U.A. exams, you and Bakugo sit in his room as you hold your head in your hands in defeat.
"Stop sulking. You don't even know if you got rejected yet." He says in his usual huff but still holds your hair back.
You mailed your results to his house so you could open it together.
"Easy for you to say. You had the highest points. I swear it took me forever to get one robot when I was too busy saving others from getting mauled by theirs." Y/n sighs as she reflects on the exams.
"I don't know Kats, I think I did better in the Shiketsu exam than I did U.A. I'll probably only be getting the acceptance there." You groan as you wipe some tears from your face.
"Shut up. You don't know shit yet." He said earning a scoff.
"I know I did dog shit at the exam, and that's enough. Sorry to say, but I don't think we'll be in the same class, or even the same school."
"I'll go to Shiketsu then."
You let out an audible laugh before looking at his face, dropping you smile instantly.
"Holy shit. You're serious?" You say before shaking your head. "No, you can't. Your dream is UA. Don't be switching shit up just because of me." You say before turning your body towards him.
"I don't care where I get my license at. I'm still going to be number one. No matter what. Beside can't be training if your ass is getting into trouble the whole other side of town",He said, rolling his eyes as he looked away from your widened gaze.
"Katsuki-," you say before getting cut off.
"Don't make a big deal out of it, princess." He quips, signaling to you that's the end of the discussion. He's going where you go.
Silence falls between the two of you until the sound of a car is heard right after. You both rush to get the letters and begin to open them. Revealing two holograms of All Might congratulating them on their acceptances to Class 1-A.
You grab him and jump up and down from excitement.
"See you idiot. You were overreacting." He says with his usual smirk. You roll your eyes. Maybe you were being a bit dramatic.
"Yeah, but still.." You say before kissing his cheek, causing him to freeze up. You smile at him.
"Thank you for wanting to cheer me up and wanting to stay by me."
His stares at your beautiful smile before looking away.
"Tch. Always, you big baby." He says before pulling you into his arms as you laugh.
Your romantic relationship didn't wait long after that moment.
Age 22
"Last fucking box." Bakugo grunts putting down the box down in the empty living room filled with the rest of the labeled boxes. While your slumped body lays on the couch, you just assembled.
Something about wanting to make the house feel more homey for the time being or procrastination for unpacking Bakugo calls it. Still, he takes the opportunity to lay next to you.
"Why didn't we just keep our apartment." You groan as you look at him. He glares at you.
"You were the one that suggested buying the house in full, princess." He said. They both earned quite a bit the last year and had money to spare.
"Besides, that place was getting too cramped for all our shit. You know this already." He says before grabbing your face as you pout.
"Ugh, but now we have to unpack all of this." You say as he smushes your cheeks. You wrap your arm around him.
You both lean in for a kiss, embracing the comfort of the couch. You both pull away and sit up, looking at all the boxes.
"Cmon, get your ass up and help me unpack." He says, trying to reach for a box before you blurt out.
"Let's get married today."
Just as he thinks you can never surprise him, you say shit like that.
He was planning on marrying you, like hell he would buy a house just for a girlfriend. You were his first and only, no doubt. But he didn't expect how this would play out.
"What?" He says in a shell-shocked tone.
"The court house doesn't close til 9. We still have time to make it over there. So what do you say." Going up to him with a sheepish smile.
"Fuck no." He says to you while you pause, smile dimming while thinking you misinterpreted his goals with you.
"Oh. Okay. Yeah, it was stupid ide - "You say before getting interrupted.
"Fuck that's not what I meant, Babe." He says before grabbing your pulling away figure.
"I wanna marry your ass, but I'm not doing it at a courthouse just because you're trying to avoid moving into our damn house." He says before peppering you with kisses. His grip on you tightening.
"I just needed to make sure that meant moving into a home meant what I thought it meant." You mumble between kisses. Wrapping your arms around his neck.
"Of course it does, dumbass." He says, deepening the kiss as he walks and pulls you down to the couch. Falling into each other's embrace.
It's definitely a creative way of getting comfortable in the new home.
Age 45
"Fucking shit" Bakugo groans after the building collapsed on the two of you by the villian you both were trying to stop for months now.
"Katsuki." You weakly groan beneath him as the raging headache ensued from the collision of the building.
Bakugo look around them, sighing in relief as he realizes his wife is okay, and so is he. He tries to get but stops when he hears you yelp in pain.
"Stop, don't move, Katsuki!" You breathe tiredly. Only then does Bakugo look down and see the large metal bar piercing the two of you together. It's shocking the two of you are still alive.
Bakugo looks into your eyes as you whimper in pain. His adrenaline is beginning to stop as he winces in pain, too. But he puts on a brave face.
"Shh.. Fuck. It's okay, baby. We're going to get out of here okay, rescue shouldn't take long." He now says breathlessly holding you close.
You smile weakly at him, grabbing caressing his face.
"You're no liar, Katsuki. It's okay." You say while your voice cracks with emotion. He grits his teeth as tears spill out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry... I can't save us this time, baby " He says, choking on tears and blood. Your tears beging to spill, too.
"There was still so much I wanted to do with you." He sobs out as you listen, sobbing too.
"Fuck, we should've stopped ages ago, our stubborn asses. Should've retired early, go on a vacation, fuck maybe even had a child or two." He huffs out in a sad laughter as you both realize just how different your lives could've been if you had stopped being heroes year before.
Maybe your guy's death would have been more peaceful; one with old gray hair and wrinkles.
You give out a weak laugh. Your vision starts to get smaller, so you try to soak up every last detail of your husband's face.
"I don't regret this." You say choking on your blood. He stares lovingly into your eyes. His vision too slowly giving out.
"I loved that I got to spend every moment with you, Kats. I fucking love you're annoying ass so much. I couldn't imagine breathing without you next to me." You say with a weak smile, gasping for air with each pause.
Bakugo weakly smiles back at you as he brushes the debris off your face. Taking your beauty in for the final time.
"Good thing we don't have to" He says his final comeback as he pulls you in and puts his lips on yours.
Taking each other's final breath...
[If] our time on Earth was through, I'd wanna hold you just for a while, and die with a smile.
If the world was ending, I wanna be next to you~♡
Alternative Happy Ending

The Moon And You.
Tumblr media
After your death, every night he would look up at the sky and remember how much you used to say how much you loved the moon and wish you could go up to space and just live there forever. Maybe you were there right now. Sitting on the moon, looking as beautiful as you always had. Maybe he'll get the chance to see you. Probably soon with how his health is going so far. He hasn't been out the house in weeks. He can't stand the thought of going outside without you by his side every second of the way down the street for your daily walks that he always thought were stupid but got used to them cause of how happy they made you. How cute you looked ranting about all the different birds and squirrels around. And how happy you got looking at the sunset forming from the horizon. Or when you two walked to the market together cause you always said "Driving the car would be so quick and we wouldn't be able to spend quality time together" Even though you saw each other 24/7 since you lived together. Fuck, how he missed you. The people called him crazy, or said how he should just move on. But they would never understand the love he had for you. He couldn't live without you. He couldn't look at himself in the mirror without blaming himself for your death. It pains him hearing you cries while in the hospital about how much your body was aching and he couldn't do anything about it. He hated how even how much pain your body was in you we're still positive for his sake but he couldn't bring himself to feel any better while seeing you in pain. He hated that by each passing day he told himself that you would get better but never did. He hated the last day he felt your warm lips on his, your warm hands caressing his cheek and scratching his scalp in all the right spots. He hated the day the doctors had to pull him away from your cold body. He hates everyday knowing he'll never be able to see your beautiful face again. He hates everything about everyday. What he hates most is that he'll never be able to keep his promise to you, "Before we go to the moon together I'll propose to you, the love of my life. Then we'll live together on the moon just with each other, til death do us part. " But death got to his promise before he could even start it.

heyy girl i have a request
can you do 2010tom x reader fic where tom and bill have a sister who’s same age as reader(they’re best friends) and tom is crushing on reader(don’t mind me,i love romantic stuff🤧)
hiii ofc pookie
Tumblr media
My best friend Summer has 2 twin brothers, one named Bill and one named Tom. Me and Bill are super close and Tom too but Tom is very different.
Tom has always been super flirty with me, kissing my cheek when he greets me, putting his hand around my waist possesively when other guys are around, cuddling me in very provocative ways when I'm over and watching a movie.
Summer never really noticed, he only did it when we weren't around her. I felt bad for letting him do it but I couldn't help myself, he was a really cute guy and super kind. He always treated me with respect and stood up for me if I was getting bullied.
One night Tom had invited me over, it wasn't unusual since we were somewhat friends and Summer knew. Bill and Summer were out for the night, on a holiday with their parents, Tom had decided to stay back to focus on his "studies." I didn't buy it for a second.
Once I arrived he opened the door, his eyes lighting up as he picked me up and hugged me tightly, "heyy y/n!", I chuckled, he set me down eventually and I walked in, heading up to his room.
"Soo, what do you wanna do?" he smiled, obviously super nervous. "Oh, anything" I smiled back, sitting on his bed and looking around his room. I had never really been in his room before, only for a short time if he needed to show me something.
He sat down next to me, his tall frame towering over me, making me cave. "Uh...do you wanna watch a movie?" I said, stuttering slightly. He smirked and rubbed my thigh softly with his thumb, "Y/N, its just us..you don't need to pretend anymore.." he whispered in my ear, softly kissing my neck.
I pulled back, sort of freaked out "Tom..but..what about summer? She'll kill me if she finds out!" I whined, "then we won't tell her" he rolled his eyes, slightly groaning.
I sighed and nodded, moving my neck to give him better access. He grinned and held the back of my head, his lips doing magic on my neck, leaving little marks everywhere he went.
"You know..i've liked you for years y/n, I hate that Summer is getting in the way of us" he sighed, pulling back and looking deeply into my eyes, caressing my cheek. "I know Tommy, but maybe if we tell her another time she'll understand, I'll try and throw hints that i like you.." he nodded "honestly that's kind of a good plan, I just want to be able to hold and kiss you in front of everyone, tell everyone you're mine and mine only"
I smiled, blushing softly "me too Tom, i've liked you for years too..all the secret little acts of affection you do made me fall harder for you" he chuckled "it always made me happy when you'd get flustered, you're so cute" he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against mine.
I softly kissed him, my hand resting on his chest. He kissed back with more passion, holding the back of my head again, pulling me in closer. His hands moved to my waist, pulling me onto his lap.
I continued to kiss him, our lips locking in a desperate embrace, needing each others touch urgently, depraved for so long. "I love you Tom.." I blurted out, his eyes widened, "fuck..no..I'm sorry!" I sighed, thinking it was too soon, how could we ever love me?
My overthinking was cut short by him smashing his lips into mine again, "I love you too..it was just a little shocking hearing it" he chuckled.
(When Tom sees or thinks of Y/N, just the way you are by bruno mars starts to play)

Louis - the Liam Gallagher cosplayer
I said my next project would be Louis as a homophobic bully - with proof. But the hard proof I have is in a hard drive I can't access right now, so I'll leave that for later (but it is coming as soon as I can).
I thought instead I'd tackle a huge thing that's been bothering me, especially in light of the Oasis reunion.
I'm personally a huge fan of Oasis, and everything about Louis regarding Oasis annoys me, but particularly these two things:
He's not an actual fan and never was. Just a casual listener who's marketing himself a certain way to appeal to a certain audience
He's attempting (rather embarrassingly) to be a copy-paste version of Liam Gallagher
I'll divide this into two parts, and this first post will be about point #1, because it'll be too long otherwise.
Anyone who was a fan of One Direction in their early days would know that Louis' Thing, the music he said he enjoyed, was Top 40 radio. He can act like he's an indie rock band enthusiast all he wants, but that's just simply not true. In fact, that was HARRY'S thing throughout his time in the band.
Fans called him a hipster (the whole Frat Harry thing came later, at the time, in 2013, fans said he was a hipster). And Louis LITERALLY mocked him for liking "obscure" bands.
Here, March 13 2013, One Direction's Take Me Home Tour in Dublin. They read Twitter questions and answered them on stage. The question was "What's the number one song played on your iPod?" and Louis introduces the question to Harry with "Harry, got any indie bands we haven't heard of?"
Here's the video. The question is at 2:06, first he talks to Zayn, then Niall, then at 2:36 to Harry.
youtube
This isn't a one-time incident, but it's one I distinctly remember (because I went to multiple shows of that tour and followed it closely!) and can physically point out. It happened multiple times. It was a Thing Louis mocked him about constantly. Keep in mind, Louis was 21 when this happened, a fully developed grown adult who had been in the industry for three years and was a professional musician.
Why do I say this? Does it bother me that he mocked Harry? No, that's just banter lmao. But what bothers me is that a few years later, he would rebrand as someone who enjoyed indie music, as an indie musician himself, who enjoyed and propped up unknown bands. And his fans would act like Harry was the popstar who made and enjoyed shallow music and Louis was a rock connoisseur all along.
At 21 Louis... distinctly wasn't that person - he also wasn't that person at 22, or 23, or 24, he started being that person in 2017, when he decided to craft his entire persona around being a Donny chav who gave you a two-finger salute and wore trackies to red carpet events.
Louis didn't even try to act like his musical style was indie rock back then. in the early 2010s there was a type of social media called Ping where you could log in songs that you liked. It was connected to your Twitter account and your iTunes account. Because in late 2012 (Louis was almost 21, might I add), it was about to shut down, a fan (a Larrie) documented the whole thing in screenshots. Here's the post. Of course they make everything about their conspiracy, but the account was legit (connected to his verified Twitter account) and the post made the rounds on normal Tumblr, so I remember seeing it at the time and saving it because it was interesting.
Some of the songs that he added to his Ping:
Thinking of You, Part of Me, Wide Awake, and the entire Teenage Dream album by Katy Perry
Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars
Look After You by The Fray
Someone Like You by Adele
Far Away by Nickelback (he got this as a tattoo lol)
Who Knew by Pink
Bedshaped by Keane
I'm With You Avril Lavigne
Take Care by Drake
Yellow, Shiver, Talk, Fix You by Coldplay
Moves Like Jagger and Payphone by Maroon 5
It Girl by Jason Derulo
Without You by David Guetta & Usher
Love Story and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
Domino by Jessie J
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt
Titanium by Sia and David Guetta
Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye
Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown
Let's Go by Calvin Harris
Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me by The Killers
We Are Young by Fun.
Stop And Stare by OneRepublic
She Moves In Her Own Way by The Kooks
Basket Case and Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
I Miss You by Blink 182
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte
Bright Lights (the album) by Ellie Goulding
Believe (the album) by Justin Bieber
Naive by Lily Allen
Imagine by John Lennon
How We Do (Party) by Rita Ora
All of these songs are heavy rotation radio hits. I'm not sure how many people will see this post, if any, but if it happens upon any young Gen Z or Gen Alpha eyes, who happen to not know some of these, they're literally just... the most played songs on the radio at the time, and Imagine by John Lennon (which was the only song older than 2000 in his entire Ping).
The only bands he has on this entire log, are Two Door Cinema Club, who you might say "oh wait, that's indie isn't it?" except they reached #2 in the UK albums chart in 2012, when this log happened. Literally following trends once again. Same thing goes for Owl City, it's a somewhat indie project, but they had a big hit (certified Diamond and hit #1 in the UK and the US), Louis logged in the project immediately after this song made it big. A bunch of John Mayer songs, who in 2012 was hyper-mainstream. Or the #1 album Coexist by The XX. And songs from the #1 album in the UK Contrast, by Conor Maynard. That plus the incredibly mainstream hits by some more rockish bands (I'm surprised he didn't log in American Idiot by Green Day) and pop. That's it.
What about Oasis? It's there.
Stop The Clocks - a greatest hits record.
Stop Crying Your Heart out - literally the #3 most popular song of theirs on Spotify
Little By Little - a huge hit off one of their latest albums (33 million YouTube Views, 85 million Spotify plays)
I'm sure he enjoyed himself some Oasis. He was a British boy growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s. It'd be weird if he didn't. But he never talked about going to see them growing up (he was 16 when they played in England for the last time). He logged in just one album, and it was a greatest hits. He logged in two songs, and they were both huge hits. He logged in a ton of songs by Coldplay, or Katy Perry. Hell, he has more songs logged in for DRAKE than Oasis.
It's obviously not definite proof, but he had that Ping account for two years, and all his iTunes purchases or likes showed up. I also don't remember him mentioning them in any particular way throughout his time in the band. Nor him mentioning going to see them. Or wearing their merch. Or...
Despite both Liam and Noel having a Twitter account as far back as 2009/2010, Louis didn't follow either of them until 2017
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So that in and of itself is bizarre for someone who in 2017 would give a million different interviews specifically mentioning Oasis and Liam Gallagher, right?
But the most egregious part of his pretend act, is that he's just flat out wrong about Oasis in and of itself.
First of all, in every single interview he mentions Oasis, he singles out Liam Gallagher. You can look it up, because frankly, there's so many interviews where he does this that I could probably be here forever. He talks about Liam Gallagher so much it's almost obnoxious (and we'll get on to that in part 2), but he almost never talks about Noel. Who he mentions is Liam. Even though he says Oasis was a huge part of his inspiration as an artist, who he mentions is Liam. And this is in the context of Oasis, as a band who inspired him growing up, not Liam Gallagher as a solo artist. OASIS. Liam.
To the uninitiated on Oasis, Liam is my favorite because he's great. He's funny, he's charming, he has a distinct voice that makes Oasis stand out. He's a mean tambourine player. But to name Liam as your inspiration when you admire Oasis, as a musician, is akin to doing that with Ringo and The Beatles.
Just so we're clear, this is the writing credits for their debut album:
Tumblr media
Their second album
Tumblr media
Third album
Tumblr media
Shall I go on?
Liam doesn't play instruments, except the maracas or the aforementioned tambourine. Noel:
Tumblr media
Just:
Tumblr media
You have to actively ignore everything about the band to pretend that your inspiration, musically, as a musician, is LIAM GALLAGHER if you actively like Oasis. What the hell are we talking about?
To be clear, Louis didn't say in these interviews that he admired Liam's vocals (which he could never in a million years imitate, and I beg him not to try), or attitude, or charisma, or fucking tambourine expertise. He talked about lyrics, and music, and songwriting. And yet, he never mentioned Noel Gallagher. IN THE CONTEXT OF TALKING ABOUT OASIS.
Listen, I fucking hate Noel Gallagher. He's a c*nt. But I happen to like Oasis, and I know, despite how much I despise him, that Oasis wouldn't exist without him.
So why did Louis mention Liam??? Well, two main reasons.
His fans don't give a fuck. They don't care about his musical opinions because they're not fans of his music or him as a musician. It's why they don't listen to it. They're fans of his status as a purported underdog or the conspiracy theories surrounding him, or rate him as a part of the band they once liked. Some of them pity follow him. He could say his musical inspiration is Miley Cyrus because of how well she plays banjo and it'd make absolutely no difference for them. Also, most of them are musically illiterate and would find a way to justify anything he says, despite being completely nonsensical, if they even listen to him in the first place.
Because of #1, Louis has been on a quest to capture a specific type of audience. He tried to capture the 1D audience with Just Hold On and Back To You (which are songs that are actually up his alley in terms of the music he consumed). But despite being his best commercially performing songs, they failed to actually and significantly move the needle. And he saw the writing on the wall even in the middle of promo for Back To You. Which is why he gave up trying to be commercially successful with that crowd and has been relentlessly trying to shift his audience.
It's why he wears sweatpants and sneakers everywhere, why he called himself a chav in 2017/2018, why the horrible haircuts, why the constant smoking and drinking in promo pics, why the pivot to "actually, I'm a die hard indie enthusiast" even though four years prior he mocked his bandmate for that exact musical taste. It's why he markets his own music as indie, rock, etc, even though it's decidedly not. It's why he does the photoshoots he does, hires the people he hires, and has the bands he has in his narcissistic "festival."
It's put-up on. I suspect it's partially borne out of deep insecurity and wanting to appeal to the type of guy he went to school with. I think his mates, despite enjoying the wealth of 1D's success, took the piss out of him for being in a boyband. This is pure speculation, but we're talking about the guys who openly retweet Andrew Tate (Nizam Kabir), or mocked his singing voice in his ex girlfriend's posts...
Let's actually expand on that, Hannah Walker, Louis' ex girlfriend, uploaded a video to her instagram account singing with a sore throat. It was captioned "sore throat singing" and this is what one of his "best friends" from childhood, Calvin Rodgers, commented on it:
Tumblr media
This wasn't some gentle banter either, this was around a point in time where Calvin and Louis weren't hanging out (2013/2014). I actually saw Hannah's post and the comments a few years ago, but her account has gone private since.
"Calvin (unprompted) In theory, the singing wasn't AS flat as Louis" another friend (Dan Woollet) replies "Fair point" to which Calvin replies "Not only fair, but true." Hannah replies "controversial."
Louis cheated on Hannah with Eleanor (I can do a deep dive on that later), and at first Hannah didn't know, so she and Louis were on good terms, but she has been openly very negative about Louis ever since late 2011.
Calvin is also a musician, by the way. His comment was fair and true. Louis' singing IS flat. I doubt he'd say that to his face when he's on good terms with him, especially because he greatly benefits from Louis' money and status (his friends have mooched everything from access to events, to paid vacations on yachts by being with him, to outright jobs). But from things Louis has said in interviews, such as "I don't have a skincare routine because my friends would make fun of me" or "if I showed up wearing designer clothes my friends would never let me hear the end of it," it does seem like he has this need to fit in and seek approval from these idiots. I'll never understand it, and I'm not going to try and psychoanalyze him (and he doesn't wanna do therapy because he's too good for therapy anyway), but I think he wouldn't be seeking this audience otherwise.
His attempts have clearly failed. His music is consumed less and less. He's at 2.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Just so we're clear, Spotify has a chart of the most monthly listeners per artist, where they chart the first 500 artists from 1 to 500. #1 currently is The Weeknd with 107M. #2 is Billie Eilish. Harry is #53 without having released music in 2 and a half years (which is amazing).
The #500 is Lynyrd Skynyrd with 16,147,684 monthly listeners. Louis would have to gain 14 MILLION monthly listeners to be at the bottom of the list. That is SEVEN TIMES the total amount he has right now. That's how bad it is.
His fans don't listen to his music. They're just incredibly annoying online because their idea of stanning him or being his fan is Twitter, and TikTok, and some of them on Tumblr and never shutting up despite having zero actual arguments to back anything up (which is why I'm venting on this blog, and potentially giving Harries tools to shut these idiots up because I know how annoying they are).
I think he's still trying to market himself this way because deep down he still wants the acceptance of his high school buddies and other men like them, and his idea of cool is (deluding himself into believing to) have a career that his buddies would actually respect (as opposed to 1D).
To close off this part of the post, I'll leave with the worst part. How do I know he's not and was never a fan of Oasis? How do I know that he's lying when he says they were his inspiration as an artist?
Well, this:
Tumblr media
He said variations of this multiple times in multiple interviews. He bashed metaphors a ton, for instance:
“[So how you classify your genre?] Oh, that’s a big question. Wow, that’s hard. In terms of what I’m looking for from a production point of view, I want things to sound organic and live. Not too many programmed instruments. I want it to feel authentic. From a lyric perspective, almost like indie-pop, very conversational. All these sexy metaphors people put in their music? I ain’t got time for that. I like it straight to the point. It’s hard to classify it as a particular genre.”
Source.
Here's another he gave for MTV:
Though "Back to You" is certifiably pop, Tomlinson grew up loving guitar-based rock bands, he said, and that when it came time to sit down and create solo music of his own, he found inspiration in the acts from his youth: mainly Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, both from Northern England (like Tomlinson). "The way that they write I've always found very interesting because, you know, if you look at a pop song fundamentally, lyrically it's very different to the conversational style that Arctic Monkeys or Oasis might use, and that's exciting to me," Tomlinson said.
All I can say is.. What the actual fuck is he talking about?
Obviously I have a lot more that I can say. But. WHAT?
Let's ignore Arctic Monkeys, because yes, I would absolutely call "honest and to the point" early Arctic Monkeys. Honest meh, because early AM was so conversational and so casual and about such mundane things that honesty wasn't really a factor, but whatever. It was incredibly to the point. BUT OASIS? OASIS??? Honest and to the point? OASIS?? OASIS??
Just so we're clear, the most mainstream song Oasis has ever released is Wonderwall. Everyone knows that song, correct? What the fuck is a wonderwall? That is not A WORD.
The word "wonderwall" came from a George Harrison album. And the lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with it. The song itself is a "Hollywood-esque song" that talks about "some unfathomable crazy love story."
The entire premise of wonderwall is that one person who's always there for you, but told in an abstract metaphorical way. That is by definition the opposite of what Louis said he wanted and liked.
In fact, Oasis FAMOUSLY worship the ground The Beatles walk on. Hell, Liam named his kid fucking LENNON. One of the most known facts about The Beatles was the amount of fucking NONSENSE they wrote in their lyrics. I Am The Walrus?! Like, this is music 101. Louis you are supposed to be a musician (yet play no instruments).
The second most mainstream song by Oasis is Champagne Supernova.
This is a verse from that song:
Wake up the dawn and ask her why A dreamer dreams she never dies Wipe that tear away now from your eye Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball Where were you while we were gettin' high?
Exactly what part of this is honest and to the point? I thought he hated metaphors?
Remember the songs he Pinged? Let's see those lyrics.
Little By Little
'Cause little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time I just asked myself why, you really here?
I'm gonna go insane. What the fuck did he mean by "honest and to the point" immediately after saying the word "Oasis"? Is he OKAY? Is he having a stroke and smelling colors? How else can he describe this as "honest and to the point"?
The other song was Stop Crying Your Heart Out
Hold up Hold on Don't be scared You'll never change what's been and gone May your smile (May your smile) Shine on (Shine on) Don't be scared (Don't be scared) Your destiny may keep you warm
I'm swimming in directness and honesty here, you guys. I can't believe how to the point these lyrics are! Metaphors? Never knew 'em! Soooo conversational!
But maybe I'm cherry picking songs, and the rest of Oasis' discography actually fits what Louis said, right? RIGHT?!
Let's look at Stop The Clocks, the Greatest Hits album Louis pinged back in 2012. Literally the first verse of the songs in order. Just so we're very clear.
Rock 'N Roll Star
I live my life for the stars that shine People say, "It's just a waste of time" Then they said, "I should feed my head" That to me was just a day in bed I'll take my car and drive real far They're not concerned about the way we are In my mind my dreams are real Now you concerned about the way I feel Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Some Might Say
Some might say that sunshine follows thunder Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine Some might say that we should never ponder On our thoughts today' cause they hold sway over time
Talk Tonight
Sittin' on my own, chewin' on a bone A thousand million miles from home When something hit me Somewhere right between the eyes Sleepin' on a plane, you know you can't complain You took your last chance once again I landed, stranded Hardly even knew your name
Lyla
Calling all the stars to fall And catch the silver sunlight in your hands Come for me and set me free Lift me up and take me where I stand She believes in everything And everyone and you and yours and mine I waited for a thousand years For you to come and blow me out my mind
The Importance of Being Idle
I sold my soul for the second time 'Cause the man don't pay me I begged my landlord for some more time He said, "Son, the bills are waiting" My best friend called me the other night He said, "Man, are you crazy?" My girlfriend told me to get a life She said, "Boy, you lazy"
Seriously I wanna sit down and ask this man what the hell he was talking about. How can he, with a straight face, say that LIAM GALLAGHER was his musical inspiration growing up because of the lyrics of OASIS, and how straight and to the point, devoid of metaphors, they were. It's the most nonsensical talking point I've ever heard. If he was even remotely relevant the way people would've laughed their head off at him saying this would´ve been diabolical.
He said Oasis and Arctic Monkeys because they fit the persona he wanted to build (even geographically).
There are SO many actual indie bands from up north who write the type of lyrics he claims he likes, but he's too lazy to actually do research into this put-upon image he chose for himself (I hardly think a competent group of people was behind any of it).
He changed his hair, his facial hair, his clothing style, the way he talks, walks, the words he says, how he stands in front of a microphone, his facial expressions, the aesthetic surrounding him, even the people and teams he hired for his career, to cosplay Liam Gallagher. This isn't a case of inspiration. Inspiration is normal. It happens in art every single day. Everything we do is an amalgamation of stuff others have done before. Everything is invented. I want to make it very clear that I don't find any of that problematic in any way.
But Louis is an inch away from wearing the skin of Liam Gallagher as a winter coat. I'll actually dive deep into that in a second part of this post, because it really does go SO deep.
Tumblr media
And I sincerely doubt he likes him or his music all that much. He just likes the idea of people viewing him like they view Liam and the "respect" he would get from men.

being childhood best friends with cc!ranboo would include...
synopsis: what it was like growing up best friends with ranboo
tw: none!
listen to: count on me by bruno mars, twin size mattress by the front bottoms, the best day by taylor swift
you probably met in your early school days, most likely first grade or so (you'd be like 6 for those of you who don't go to american public school!)
you'd become friends pretty fast, always picking each other during partner work time and playing with each other on the playground
you probably poked at worms and drew each other little pictures 😭😭😭😭😭
growing up your parents knew him and their parents knew you, so you'd always spend time at each other's houses
summers were always the best because you got to spend nearly every day together, always swimming at his house or riding your bikes around your neighborhood
when you were twelve, you got into a pretty big fight and didn't talk to each other for almost a month. it was the longest you'd ever been apart, and you both cried when you finally made up. your parents were extremely worried about the two of you
when you got to be about 13, your body changed quickly, and they were always the first to hype you up when you felt down about yourself, and they always stuck up for you if you got bullied or received unwanted attention
he became a personal guard dog for you 😭
they'd literally just intimidate people with their height and that's all it took
you were his support system when discovering his gender and sexuality and they will never ever forget that
you're genuinely their soulmate. even if not romantically, you're two halves of one whole, and you both know it deep down
you're the first person he goes to when he blows up online
you're in full support, but you want to remain completely anonymous and uninvolved
you don't want their clout, and they love you for that
everyone around you thinks you guys are dating, and you don't make a big deal out deal of denying it, just a simple "no, they're just my best friend!"
as ran continues to grow online, you remain entirely out of the public eye for a couple years
in late 2022, he introduces you to his fanbase and they love you!!
after that you still stay pretty private, only really joining for a couple streams and videos here and there
chat always asks about you
they love to tell stories about you on stream
when he moves to the uk, you cry harder than you ever have, but you understand that he sort of needs to for his career path, and you're in support
they promise to still call and text you every day
before he leaves though, you guys kinda have an "oh, duh" moment where you're like,, wait. you're an adult, too,, you could literally just go with him.....
so you do! you move to the uk with them!
your parents all see you off and you all cry together, but they know you'll be alright because you have each other to lean on
eventually you're introduced to aimsey, bill, tommy, tubbo (im delulu), freddie, and others such as wilbur, james, ash, phil, and charlie
you are an official member of cricket crew
sometimes you guys will go back to america and visit your hometown in california, driving together down your old town's streets, windows down and music up, reminiscing
they will cuddle you or hold your hand (/p) if you ever want or need them to
ceo of piggyback rides.
he knows you so well that you don't even have to ask
tesco trips. y'all never have to argue about who is going to do the shopping, you always go together because it's fun. hanging on the shopping buggy, riding it through the aisles, buying a bunch of things that you most definitely do not need
they 100% spoil you. they will buy you anything and everything, just because they wanted to. you try to do the same as much as you can, but he always wins because they have that streamer money 😔
you both have so many stories and so much blackmail on each other
and photos... my god, the pictures yall have........
birthday gifts are never serious, you always get each other gag gifts and inside joke related gifts
christmas is when you literally spoil each other
they always bring home your favorite snacks when they're out
if you're a gamer, they're introducing you to new games they found and learning how to play them with you
if you're not a gamer, he's teaching you how to play his favorites just for fun!
if they get too scared playing a horror game they'll call you into the room and make you sit with them and be scared too :P
you guys have this sixth sense, when something is wrong, you just... know. ran's upset? you don't even have to talk before you're already hugging him. you're sad? he's leaving tommy's house right now because he can't explain it, there's just a disturbance in the force
whenever anyone asks how you guys met/how long you've been friends, he always sounds so proud when he says "oh, i've known them my whole life!"
y'all are so sweet i swear to god

hueningkai ~ memories
pairing: hueningkai x gn!reader summary: of course being best friends with your boyfriend's sister means premium access to his childhood videos. genre: fluff, kinda crack vibes but not rly warnings: mmm none ? idk just kinda embarrassed kai. mention of kids at the end notes: TY FOR REQUESTING ANON!! sorry it took so long 😭 word count: 0.7k click here for my masterlist!
Tumblr media
being best friends with hiyyih had it's perks, especially when you accidentally fell in love with her brother.
she thought it was kinda strange at first, her best friend and her brother dating - but she got used to it quickly. whenever kai came up in conversation it definitely became more of a roast than anything, complaining about his unhelpful habits - like leaving his plushies all over the floor where you could trip - and his terrible jokes.
he knew the bullying was all in good fun, but he'd never been quite so embarrassed by it as when he came to your apartment to surprise you with some cheesecake he'd picked up after practice when soobin had dragged him to the bakery.
you'd given him a key for emergencies so he waltzed right in, putting the cake on the kitchen counter and calling your name. when he couldn't find you he started to worry, until he heard two sets of incessant giggles coming from your bedroom.
curiosity bubbled in his chest as he pushed the door open, only to find his partner and his sister losing their minds over something on the TV. your eyes darted to the door at the sound of it opening, and the sight of kai just made you and hiyyih laugh even harder - clinging onto each other with tears pricking your eyes.
"what the hell is wrong with you two?" he couldn't help but laugh a little himself at the sight of you struggling to catch your breath, shooting a weird look at his sister before turning to look at whatever was paused on the screen.
oh.
"HIYYIH YOU LOSER WHY DID YOU SHOW THEM THAT???" he complained, running to stand in front of the TV with his arms out, trying to block your view of the video.
hiyyih had dug up some old videos of kai, some of him just being a silly kid and others of him singing and performing - this one in particular being of him covering 'just the way you are' by bruno mars.
he looked so cute, and you couldn't help but laugh at him as a dorky kid just starting out his music career. "it's not that bad!" you argued, hiyyih now shoving her face into the pillows behind you to stifle her laughs. "you were so cute!" you defended, noticing the panic on his face and the way his ears and cheeks turned red.
"it's embarrassing! i could barely even play that stupid guitar," he argued back, finding the remote and switching off the tv.
you took the opportunity of his arms being spread to jump up and walk into them, hugging him tight while he groaned in annoyance. "you were adorable. and talented. you still are!" you mumbled into his chest as his arms wound around you. he sighed and pressed a kiss to your hair.
"BARF."
hiyyih had since composed herself and looked at you both with disgust. "hey you started it! what else did you show them?"
you eventually turned the tv back on and the three of you started watching the old videos - kai bringing up some of your best friend too, both of them teasing and laughing at each other despite the embarrassment.
once hiyyih left and you convinced kai to stay the night, you snuggled up in bed ready to sleep.
"kai?"
he hummed in response, hand squeezing your waist gently in acknowledgement. "will you sing that song for me?" you asked. he groaned, thinking you'd just make fun of him - "no." but when he looked up at your sparkly expectant eyes, your sleepy voice whimpering a small "please?" he just couldn't say no.
"okay, fine. only for you."
and so he sang it to you, voice deep and heavy with sleep ~ soothing voice and gentle hand stroking your cheek as he sang to you. when he finished the song he pressed a quick goodnight kiss to your lips, returning his hand to your waist to hold you close.
"thank you. i love you. i hope our future kids will be as cute as you were."
you fell asleep too fast to see he was blushing even harder than earlier.

Describe your friends in one sentence!
Like as a collective or nah?
cuz as a collective: they're all certified simps lol
If not, then I'll show you just how much I can test the limit of "one" sentence HAHAHAHAH
@leftdestiny-posts: Looks like a cinnamon roll, but will actually give your remains to their deranged husband so they can make cupcakes together.
@a-dose-of-phitre: That one genius friend that's fun to bully for her taste in men but no one can deny she's skilled af /j /that j is for Kaeya, he's a good man.
@estellxli: Arlecchino in real life & fun-sized (short), but we put her in the wrong genre— so she's now the protagonist of a shoujo manga. /aff
@navxry: “How many times have we walked around the same spot here at the mall just to talk shit about our academic system?"
@meimeimeirin: That one friend that made so much great content you've consumed before interacting under different names so each revelation is flabbergasting like "hey, she's like my grandmother cuz everytime she spills lore I feel like I've unlocked both necessary yet forbidden knowledge-" (idc if this is a long sentence. i got shocked realizing she made god of war and then some more with that persona gam-)
@mixed-kester:
“When will your OC rest—”
“Fiiiine, I'll put her in a dream she never wants to wake up in—”
“what—”
@jessamine-rose: Queen of the yandere!harbinger fics and has the most slay darling designs, so you just know she can achieve anything in life. /lh
@mochinon-yah: "I can't believe people don't think this fellow is wild wdym you guys aren't seeing what I'm seeing have you seen the way she reblogs and provides commentary that is not a sane individual." /pos
@stardust-for-your-soul: She is giving those anime characters that know almost everything behind the scenes and goes "🤭" on screen. /aff (why do i feel like she knows whenever I'm going through something—)
@vennnnn-diagram: I'm in the house like carpet (bruno mars cover).

I feel like talking....
There is something honestly so narcissistic and shallow about swifties.
The way they constantly compare Michael Jacksons fame to hers. They don't really do it ( or i don't see them doing it) with other artists that are more similar to her. It's the level of fame that interests these people not the art, the talent or the impact.
You can't even compare that fame. Like MJ debuted like in the 70's and Thriller got out in the 80's. He had no social media. MTV wouldn't really play black artists at first. The media bullied him.
Taylor Swift is a white woman in the 21th century who has the benefit of social media and the media praising her.
I have some Swifties argue against that Biggest Selling Album of all time, and that he just got that, because there were less famous people and nowadays it is harder. Well, you could use that same argument against them and say that back then it was harder to get famous. Nowadays it's faaar easier to become famous. People like Drake, if they came out in the 80's they would have not made it.
There are also so different. MJ, was a performer, songwriter, dancer, singer
Taylor Swift is a songwriter, singer and plays instruments.
MJ has four octaves is a Star Rated Vocalist.
While Taylor Swift has three octaves and is D rated Vocalist
MJ was inducteed in the Dance Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2×) and the Songwriter Hall of Fame.
Taylor Swift was inducteed in the Songwriter Hall of Fame
If Taylor Swift allegedly is the music industry like they always say, then Michael Jackson made the music industry. He basically saved this racist channel from bankruptcy. And if wasn't for him we wouldn't have artists like: Beyonce , Usher, Jason Derulo, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, BTS, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Drake, Lady Gaga,
And the fact they call it Michael Jackson level of fame. Like, they are telling themselves.
spill honestly

The argument that TS uses when she says "I write about my relationships but so do Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars" does not stand because their stans don't go harassing their exes like her stans do. Even for Michael Jackson (whom I'm a great fan of), a lot of his fans have made a compelling case that some songs were about Diana Ross (like Who is it, Dirty Diana for ex and those are not songs that portray her in a good light) but none of his stans harass her because he was smart enough to publicly deny that the songs were about her.
Like it's ok to talk about your relationships in your songs but when your stans start harassing the other party and you have the bigger fan base, I feel like it's your responsibility to at least take a stand publicly you know ? And not let your rabid stans harass your exes because they've hurt you..
she’s literally ENCOURAGED them harassing and bullying her exes for years. all her interviews where she says she like “if men don’t want me to say bad things about them they they shouldn’t do bad thing” when she openly admits in her songs to be the toxic one, publicly shaming and victim blaming her exes for not taking her fucked up idea of relationships, have been going on since fearless. she gets this cocky ass look on her face and smirks at the camera/the audience like “you know they deserve it”. it’s fucking disgusting, and she herself is the only one to blame for letting her “songs about her life” get so fucking out of hand.

There were very few times in his life when Azriel felt as if he were dreaming. This was one such time. 
He was out on a walk in the woods. With his almost ten year old son. Whom he didn’t even know existed until yesterday.
The snow from last night had melted so Azriel took him to the small pond near the house and they’d been there for the past hour. The entire time, Daemon had been talking about his school and his friends and his favorites.
By now, Azriel learned that his best friend was Jason, he studied in fourth grade at Velaris Elementary and he loved to talk. 
“Do you know, I have a blue bunny just like the one in your room?” Daemon suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
It took Azriel a minute to realize he’s talking about the blue bunny he gave to Elain for her 12th birthday. She had left it along with her letter just before she left. Since then, he had never let go of the bunny. But he clearly remembered his being in his room back home. Maybe Feyre or Nesta had brought it along with his clothes, he assumed. Which also reminded him that he needed to go back home to get all of his stuff. 
“You really don’t talk much, do you?” He wondered. Azriel glanced towards him and raised an eyebrow, to which he gave him a toothy smile. “Uncle Lu says that the only way I’m similar to mom is the way I love to speak. Otherwise, I am exactly like you.” Then he frowned. “But my friends never believed me.” 
“Why?” Azriel asked. 
“Because you never came to any career day or a parent - teacher’s meet or anything.” He said glumly. “They teased me saying that you weren’t real.” He threw a stone into the pond. “Mom said to ignore them because they’re bullies.” 
Azriel hated the fact that his son was bullied due to his absence. Daemon then looked up from the lake. “Did you ever get bullied? When you were a kid?” 
Azriel gave him a sad smile. “All the time. But you know who always stood up for me?” He shook his head. “Your mom. No matter what it was, she would always support me.” 
Daemon smiled. “Mom says that she would help anyone she loves.” 
Azriel averted his eyes. Yeah, Elain would do anything for those whom she loves. But he was no longer that person. Azriel got up from where he was sitting and dusted his jeans. “Come on, let's go back. Your mom would be wondering where we are.” He gave Daemon his hand and pulled him up.
“Thank you dad!” He started running ahead but paused, looking back at Azriel. “I’m sorry, I didn’t ask, but is it okay if I call you dad?” 
Azriel felt tears brimming in his eyes, but managed to hold them back. “Yeah. I would love that.”
Daemon smiled. “Okay! And you can call me Dae!” 
He walked back towards the house and Azriel dazedly followed. 
~~~~
Elain quietly finished her breakfast and went to the game room to watch TV. After all, there was not much to do when one was trapped in the middle of nowhere and even better than, when they’ve been kidnapped. She started watching Brooklyn 99 when Nesta came and sat beside her. 
“I feel betrayed.” She stated.
“Oh, I wonder why.” Elain continued watching the show, not paying attention to her sister. 
“You never used to hide anything from me.” Accusation filled Nesta’s voice. Elain took a cushion and placed it on her lap.
“Yeah, well there’s a first time for everything.” She turned to look at Nesta. “Like, I don’t know, kidnapping your sister and keeping her hostage for no reason whatsoever?” Elain shrugged and turned back towards the show. 
“Elain, it’s not like that.” Nesta reasoned. 
Elain whipped her head towards her. “Then what is it like? Please tell me. I’m dying to know.”
“And I’m dying to know why you never told any of us about your son!” She screamed in retaliation. 
Elain didn’t answer and turned back towards the TV with her hands crossed across her chest. 
“Nes, it’s time to - hey! My favorite show!” Cassian walked into the room. 
Nesta ignored the second half and got up. “Cassian let’s go.” 
He pouted at Nesta. “But the show…” 
She dragged him out. “No.”
Feyre walked in from behind them and Elain raised an eyebrow at her. “Let me guess, you were listening?”
She shrugged unapologetically. “How do you expect me not to? Come on, let's drink coffee and gossip like old times.” Elain finally smiled and got up, conveniently forgetting all about her conversation with Nesta. 
Feyre handed Elain a coffee mug and dragged her to the outside porch where Cassian and Nesta were getting ready to get into their car.  
From the side, Daemon came out of the woods, running, wearing a jacket and gloves. Behind him, Azriel followed slowly. He stopped as Daemon ran towards Cassian who hugged Daemon, making him laugh. 
Both Feyre and Elain smiled as they watched them interacting. Elain watched Rhys go towards Azriel and talk about something. With the way his face was, it was probably about something serious, but then again, when did Azriel not have a serious face?
“I wonder how things would’ve been if you would’ve just told us about Daemon.” Feyre said as she looked towards Cassian and Dae. 
“I had my reasons, Feyre.” 
“I realize that,” She looked at Elain with soft, understanding eyes. “And I am not judging you. But he deserved to know.” 
“Both of us deserved a lot of things.” Elain replied sourly. Suddenly Azriel started walking towards them and initially, Elain thought it was to come talk to her. But he passed by her without a word and she ignored him, looking forward. 
Feyre sighed audibly. 
~~~~~
Azriel and Daemon reached the house just as Cassian and Nesta were getting into their car. 
Daemon ran towards them and hugged Cassian. Both of them smiled at each other and Cassian said something which made Daemon laugh. Near the doorway, Azriel saw Elain standing beside Feyre with a coffee mug in her hand. She was smiling as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. 
Cassian lifted Daemon up and shook him, which caused Daemon to shriek in laughter. Azriel could feel a small smile of his own forming. 
Rhys walked up to him and handed him a mug filled with coffee. He stood beside Azriel and looked at Cassian playing with Daemon. “Sorry about whatever happened at breakfast.” Azriel just nodded. “And not telling you about Elain.” Azriel looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He looked back and rolled his eyes. “What? I’m just apologizing.”
“What do I have to do?” Azriel asked, exhaustion evident in his voice. 
“There’s no beating around the bush with you, is there? You need to check on Graysen. Then you need to go and meet up with Vanserra who’ll give you Elain’s stuff. After that, you can go get your stuff.”
Azriel inhaled deeply, the smell of coffee filling him. “I’m going to stay with them.”
“Didn’t expect anything else.”
“When should I leave?” He asked as he finished his coffee.
“Now would be preferable. Nesta and Cassian are leaving. Feyre and I can stay for a while, but not that long.”
Azriel agreed and went inside the cabin, passing Elain and Feyre on the way. Feyre smiled at him while Elain ignored him, looking out towards Daemon and Cassian. 
Azriel sighed and walked inside.
People had often told him that he had a bad habit of thinking the worst about himself. They said it as if it was something he could fix. But it was not his fault that whomever he loved turned up dead or left him. 
Losing his mother, then getting abused by his actual father who ultimately went to jail. Then he moved in with Rhysand’s family who treated him like their own and his mother died. 
And then there was Elain. Luckily she didn’t end up dead, but she very well could. And so could Daemon. 
He wouldn’t allow that, no matter how much it might hurt him. He’s stayed away from her once, he could do it again. 
~~~~ 
After Cassian and Nesta left, Azriel soon followed, leaving only Elain, Daemon, Feyre and Rhysand at the cabin. Elain was busy reading a book while both Feyre and Daemon were seated on the library floor, painting on plain sheets of paper. 
“Mom,” Elain glanced down at Daemon, who was pouting. “How long will we stay here?” 
Elain smiled at him. “I don’t know sweety, ask Auntie Feyre, she’ll probably know.”
He turned towards Feyre who was looking at Elain with narrowed eyes. She shrugged and continued to read her book. “Daemon, have you seen the game room downstairs?” Feyre asked. Daemon shook his head in affirmation and Feyre stood up, wiping her hands on her pants. “Come on, I’ll show you. We have tons of games.” She took Daemon out of the room and stuck her tongue at Elain. Elain replied similarly. 
Elain decided to look around the house to see if she could find something helpful. Groaning and muttering curses under her breath when she couldn’t find anything, she walked downstairs to where the TV was. She plopped down on the couch and turned the news on. 
There was discussion regarding the previous night’s ball and the attack. Then they showed Graysen in his office, clearly worried.
Rhys came into the room and stood behind Elain, his hands resting just behind her head. “Turn up the volume.”
She did as he said and Graysen’s voice came through. “I don’t know why they’re doing this. I had my suspicions against the Knight clan, but I thought they’d keep it professional. Just yesterday I found out that my fiancée had ties with the Knights and now she’s gone as well. The attack was definitely orchestrated by them.” 
Elain frowned. Was he trying to somehow insinuate that she might have a hand with the attack? 
“I honestly cannot see what the hell you saw in him.” Rhys stated as he came around and sat beside her. 
“Well, neither can I.” She muttered. “Can you at least tell me why I’m being held here?”
Rhys sighed and took the remote from her, turning the TV off. “Look, Graysen has been interfering with our work for quite a while now. His father had a negotiation with us, but with him stepping down, we need control over Graysen.”
“Control?” Elain scoffed. “So what, I'm just a part of some good old business rivalry?”
He gives me a grave look. “Elain, the shit he’s trying to get involved in is much bigger than you could imagine. He’s killed three of my men.” 
“Oh, and I guess you took that silently?” When Rhys didn’t answer, Elain shook her head. “Do you really think I haven’t heard of the things you’ve been up to? Not only have you been pretty known in the business section of the news but also the criminal one.”
“Elain you are not understanding. He’s dangerous because he’s going to ruin our city. They’re mainly targeting the kids with this stuff.” 
“Why would he do something that awful?” 
“That’s not all Ellie. He has a huge prostitution ring going on. He hides it with his greater investments and he has the perfect cover with his fucking neurosurgeon fiancée who helps people.”
Elain looked at the dark screen in front of her and took in deep breaths. “Okay, so even if you are correct, how does it involve me?” 
“We kidnap you, torture you and force Graysen to stop.” 
Elain widened her eyes in fear. “You- you’re going to torture me?”
A loud sound of Daemon screaming came from the hallways. Suddenly Daemon showed up at the entrance, his cheeks flushed with a bright smile on his face. “Momma, Auntie Feyre’s a dinosaur and she’s going to eat me!” A roar voice came from behind and he ran away, shrieking. 
Rhys looked towards Elain with a smirk. “Yes, we plan to torture you to death.”
She rolled her eyes and slightly punched him on the shoulder. He gasped. “Oh no! You’ve hurt me! Someone help me, I’m being tortured!” Elain laughed at him and he started laughing as well. 
“I missed that laugh.” He said as they quieted down. “We all did.” He gave her a meaningful look.
“I missed you all too.” She muttered softly. 
~~~~~
Azriel was bored out of his mind. He was checking up on Graysen’s activities who was acting as if nothing was wrong. He went to his meetings, had lunch with his father, flirted with literally every single female to pass by. 
Azriel’s phone pinged with a message from Lucien telling him to meet at his building's parking lot. 
When he reached he found Lucien standing near his car wearing black goggles, playing with a bunch of keys. Azriel slipped on his own and moved towards him. “Where’s the stuff?” 
He held the keys out. “At her house.”
Azriel narrowed my eyes at him. “You were supposed to bring them to me.”
“I think Elain would do a much better job of picking out her stuff than me.” He shrugged nonchalantly. 
Azriel released a sigh and took the keys from him, turning around to leave. “How are they?” Lucien asked.
“Fine.” He started walking away from him.
“And what about you? You okay?” Lucien called out. Azriel stopped and looked back at him with narrowed eyes. 
“Not even 24 hours ago, I found out that I have a nine-year-old son, who looks exactly like me, with the girl whom I have loved ever since I was 12.” His face was emotionless. “How do you think I am?” 
“Did you ask Elain how she found out about him? How she managed to raise him as well as get a medical degree, becoming one the best in her class?” His face didn’t hold any anger. Only sympathy and understanding. “Let’s go have some coffee.” He pointed towards the hotel cafe. Azriel nodded and let him lead the way. Lucien went and ordered two coffees while Azriel went and sat down at a table. 
Azriel didn’t say anything as he came and placed the coffees on their table. He sat opposite to Azriel and looked at him for a minute. Azriel stared back. 
“She didn’t know she was pregnant.” Lucien started off. 
“I know.” 
He shook his head. “It was the first time in years that she wasn’t with you on your birthday. The night before, she got extremely drunk. Near midnight, she started screaming in her room. I thought she was dying. I took her to the hospital and they told me that she’s in labor. I didn’t even believe it until they let me see him.”
“How didn’t she know?” He wondered.
“It happens. Elain wasn’t in a really good place at that time. She had shifted to a new place with new people, none of her sisters were there with her either. And mainly, she had lost you. That was the one thing that set her back majorly. She didn’t go into depression, or become suicidal or anything. If I wouldn’t have known what had happened, I would’ve thought she was perfectly normal. But she was suffering within. Doctors say that all of that could have made her mentally unprepared for a child, which caused her condition.” 
Azriel lowered his head in shame. He caused that. Females have nine months of getting used to having a child and even then, most are not prepared. And for Elain, it would’ve been so sudden, he couldn’t even imagine how it would’ve felt like. 
“But she managed to hold on. The way her eyes teared up when she saw him, held him in her hands, it was one the most magical moments of my life. Since then, Elain has had this habit of taking a photo or video of every moment she considers special, so that she can’t have any other special moments stolen from her.” He smiled at him and Azriel  remembered how Lucien had taken a photo of Daemon and Cassian at the ball. 
“He likes me.” Azriel stated. 
Lucien smirked in return. “He idolizes you. You’re this perfect man in his eyes who can never do anything wrong.” 
At Azriel’s confused face, he clarified, “Well, he knows Graysen isn’t his father. And he’s old enough to know he didn’t hatch out of an egg.”
“Didn’t he ever ask where I was?” Azriel knew he would’ve if it were him. 
“She told him that you couldn’t be with them.”
“And he just accepted it?” 
“He is Elain’s kid as well. He sees the good in everything.” Azriel scoffed.
Lucien looked into his phone and got up. “I need to leave and I assume you have some other work to do as well.” Azriel nodded. “I’ll leave you to it. It was nice talking to you.” He shook his hand and watched him go as Azriel remained sitting on his seat, finishing his coffee. 
~~~~
After driving for 15 more minutes, Azriel finally reached his own house, empty and lonely. It was far away from the main city, the nearest house was at least a mile away. Rhys and Cassian had expected him to buy a small flat where he could drown himself in his sorrows. Just to spite them, he had bought a huge mansion, with a pool and a fountain. And now, all it did was remind him how lonely and empty he was. 
He trudged inside, the lights turning on automatically. First he went to his study and grabbed a few books along with his laptop. Then, he went into his room and took a backpack out. He filled his books and laptop into it. He decided to take a few extra pairs of clothes as well. Azriel turned around surveying the room and looked at the little bunny lying on his pillows. He smiled to himself and picked it up. 
Maybe he could bring it along for Daemon. He did mention having a bunny just like this. 
Which was at the cabin. 
But how was that possible if Azriel’s was here in his house and no one had yet gone to Elain’s house? Unless -
Someone planted it there. 
Fuck. 
He dropped everything and rushed out of the house, heading straight for his car. As soon as he got the car on, he sped in the direction of the cabin where Elain and Daemon were. 
He tried calling Elain but then remembered that he had her phone. He dialed the cabin phone, but no one picked up. He tried both Rhys and Feyre, but theirs directly went to voicemail. 
He cursed and sped past all the other vehicles, ignoring all the honking, with only one goal in mind, to reach Elain and Daemon on time. 
Who could have known about the blue bunny? And more importantly, how did they manage to hide in the cabin without anyone knowing about it. The cabin was one of the places they used as hideouts, which no one knew about. 
What would they want from Elain or Daemon? The blue bunny could be anything, a camera, a voice recorder, a bomb. 
He was only 3 miles away from them. Hopefully Rhys and Feyre hadn’t left. 
Finally, the cabin came to his view. He looked at the driveway and couldn't see Feyre and Rhys' car. 
Damn it, he thought.
~~~~~
Feyre and Rhys left as soon as they finished lunch, promising to return the next day. Azriel had still not returned from wherever he went. 
Elain was surprised when Rhys told her that Azriel would be coming back. She had expected him to hate her and not want to ever see her again, considering she hid his child from him. 
She was sitting with Daemon in Azriel’s room talking about the recent changes they had faced that day. 
“So, did you like your Aunts and Uncles?” She questioned.
Daemon smiled brightly. “They’re so much fun! Especially Uncle Cassian! Did you know he named his daughter Tootsie after the chocolate?” Daemon and Elain giggled. “I told him it was weird and people would make fun of her but he reassured me it was just her nickname.” 
Elain huffed out another laugh. “What about your father? I heard you went out on a walk with him.” 
Daemon’s smile slightly dimmed. “He said he looked just like me when he was little. I don’t think Dad talks that much.” Daemon brightened. “Oh, and he said he would love it if I called him Dad. I thought he would find it weird.” 
Elain sighed. “This whole situation is weird.”
Suddenly, they heard the door slam open and large thumps from someone climbing up the stairs. Azriel barged into the room and beelined towards the bunny kept on the arm chair. 
He picked it up and looked at it for a moment before he started tearing open the bunny. 
“Mommy, what is dad doing?” Daemon asked her softly. She shrugged and turned towards Azriel. 
“Azriel, what are you doing?” He removed all the cotton and uncovered a small device inside which caused her to gasp. “Holy shit.”
“Take Daemon and go to my car, now.” He said fiercely. Elain instantly took Daemon’s hand and dragged him downstairs and out of the house where Azriel’s car was. The door was left open and the ignition was still on. Elain placed Daemon inside and sat on the driver’s seat preparing to take her son and run away. She could escape. But something stopped her.  There was a fucking bomb in the room she and her son were in. She didn’t want to take a chance with any other horror waiting for them.  
Azriel came running towards them and she shifted the gear to drive, ready to drive as soon as he sat in the car. 
“Momma?” She looked down at Daemon and realized that he’s not wearing a jacket. He looked at her, fear evident in his eyes. “Don’t worry Dae, daddy’s coming, okay.”
He bobbed his head and waited patiently. Azriel quickly got into the car. 
“Get out of here quickly.” He instructed and Elain quickly reversed the car, pedaling the accelerator, the car lurching. As they reached the large gates of the house, she heard a loud exploding sound and could see the house up in flames from the rearview mirror. 
“Don’t look back!” Azriel told Daemon, his body turned around completely, holding Daemon’s shoulders. 
“Mommy, what’s happening? I’m scared.” He whispered with his hands covering his ears. 
“I don’t know. Just, don’t worry.” Elain reassured him with tears in her eyes as she glanced towards Azriel who was completely focussed on Daemon. 
~~~~~
Azriel was looking straight ahead, pitching in to tell Elain the directions once in a while. Other than that, he remained quiet. 
“Azriel, what just happened?” Elain asked after a while. 
“Shit happened.” He replied curtly as he urged her to speed up the car, ignoring others on the road. 
“Azriel, that’s not an answer.”
“I’ll tell you when I get this mess sorted out.” He continued looking straight ahead. He saw Elain shaking her head in his peripheral vision. 
Azriel took his phone and scrolled through his contacts, clicking on Cassian’s name. A second later the sound of ringing came through the car speakers. “Hey Az! Everything good with-”
“Get Rhys and come to my office as soon as possible.” He cut the call and looked back towards the road.
“Azriel, what’s going on?” He just continued to ignore Elain and turned back towards Daemon. 
“Hey buddy. How are you holding up?” Daemon looked slightly scared but managed a small smile. “Okay, we’re about to go to my office okay? You’ll get to see where I work.”
He told Elain where to enter and informed her which spot to park in. Then he got out of the car and opened the back door holding a hand out for Daemon. 
“Azriel tell me what’s going on!” Elain whispered beside him. 
He ignored her again. “Azriel Knight! What is happening! This is the second time in a day that I’ve been driven away to some place I don’t even know where! I deserve to know where you’re taking me and my son.”
“There was a fu-” He glanced back at Daemon who looked slightly startled. “There was a bomb in the toy.” He says calmly.
“Yeah, I know! I saw that! Question is, why the hell was it there?” 
He took a sharp turn entering a lobby. “I don’t know.” He couldn’t hide his frustration that he didn’t know about the bomb. 
“Why are we here?” Elain asked in a calmer voice as they entered the elevator.
“I’ve told Rhys and Cassian are going to meet us here.” 
They soon reached a well decorated floor, with a woman waiting behind a desk and a large couch set up. Azriel turned towards Daemon and knelt down. “Daemon, I need you to wait out here okay? Mom and I will be right inside.”
Daemon nodded slowly and Azriel looked towards the woman behind the desk who came towards Daemon with a smile. “Hello! My name is Cerridwen. Why don't you come along with me?”
Azriel then grabbed Elain and dragged her into a massive office space. 
“Rhys and Cassian will be here soon.” He said as he settled in his chair. 
~~~~ 
A few minutes later Rhys and Cassian stormed through the office. 
“You took your sweet time.” Azriel said coolly as he got up from his seat, Elain sitting quietly in the corner. 
Cassian scoffed. “Well, you didn’t exactly give us enough information. We had to prepare.”
“Cassian knock it off.” Rhys interjected and moved towards the couch. Both of them sat down while Azriel continued to stand. 
“So,” Cassian started. “I’m guessing something’s wrong.”
Elain couldn’t stop her snort. “Yes. Thank you for stating the obvious.” 
Both Cassian and Rhys sent amused looks towards her. “Where’s Daemon?” 
“He’s sitting in the waiting room.” Azriel replied in a cold voice and then glanced at Rhys. “You’re getting sloppy.” 
Rhys furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
“Azriel. It’s not his fault.” Cassian started. 
“I’m not even talking about that. There was a bomb in the house.” Azriel accused. 
“A what?!” Both Cassian and Rhys exclaimed.
“It was in a blue bunny in Azriel’s room.” Elain informed them.
Rhys looked at Elain, “The same one that you…?” She nodded but Azriel replied, “No, it was different.”
“How did someone place it there?” Rhys wondered aloud. 
Azriel kept a stone cold face. “You tell me.”
Cassian shrugged. “Guess it’s not much of a secret hideout now?”
“Cassian, it was set to explode minutes after I found it. What if I had not reached them on time? And it was in my room for God’s sake!” Azriel claimed. 
Rhys stood up from his seat. “Keep them at your place. It’s well away from the main city and no one can find it, even with the help of directions.” 
Azriel crossed his arms. “And you’re not going to say anything about the bomb?”
“Az, how was I supposed to know that someone would place a bomb?” 
Azriel pointed a finger towards him accusingly. “You were supposed to ensure everything was safe. You fucked up Rhys. Admit it.”
Rhysand raised his hands in surrender. “I get it, I’ll do better next time.”
“There shouldn’t be a next time.” He stated.
“Okay, but don’t do anything that’ll screw things up.”
He scoffed at Rhys. “Interesting. What would’ve you done if it was Feyre, huh?” Then he turned towards Cassian. “Or Nesta and Tootsie?” 
“Az, you’re-”
“You would tear apart the entire world. In fact you did almost that when Feyre was taken.” 
Rhys sighed. “Az, you can do whatever you want. Just not at the moment. I’m just telling you to stand by for-”
“Don’t you fucking dare expect me to stand by when someone tries to hurt my son and the woman I love!” Azriel shouted. 
Instantly, everything went dead quiet. Both of them were looking at Azriel in resignation. 
Elain looked shocked at his words. She couldn’t remember a time she ever saw him shout in anger. But what shocked her more was that he called her the woman he loves. 
Azriel took a deep breath and stormed out of the room, not glancing at any one of them.

Let me know what you think!

Glee- S2 E8- Furt Analysis
This episode of Glee mainly focuses on the popular vs. nerd dynamic and the social constraints that popularity impacts the students. Producer, Ryan Murphy, shows the various ways that social standard norms influence the way people are treated in society, often being shown by presenting stereotypes. Simple comments that occur throughout the show Glee, often have inappropriate emphasis on sexuality and issues regarding that. Comments include ones Sue’s mother spoke regarding her assistant Sasha, exclaiming she looks mannish but it is okay. The vast amount of problems that the characters face in this show always revolve around gender norms and sexuality. The sole fact that they get bullied because they are in the glee club is a substandard issue to the fact that perceptions from the outside can entirely impact someone's life. In this episode, we see Kurt getting bullied by the jocks. He gets threatened by one of the jocks, Dave Karofsky, which involves him threatening to kill Kurt. There is a major issue with the scenario since he recently found out he is also gay. Kurt keeps his secret, but the bullying remains. This issue with having to feel like protecting him even though he treats Kurt terribly, truly shows the heart that Kurt has.
       Along with that, the characters Rachel and Finn struggle to entirely be open about their virginity status. Rachel opens up honestly about her genuinely being a virgin, and there is a lot of stigma against women and their purity. However, Finn continues to lie that he is also saving himself for her even though he had already had sex with Santana, Rachel’s rival, prior to their relationship. Even though this theme isn’t extremely significant, it shows the ways relationships have an extreme sense of walking on eggshells, especially from the feminine side. If Rachel had not saved herself for Finn, there would likely have been more animosity between the two. As well it heightens the codependency the two have with each other. This juxtaposes the ‘self’ love journey that Sue has, for she marries herself in the episode, to show her mother and the ones around them that she doesn’t need anyone. She doesn’t need to please anyone other than herself.
     However, going back to the issue in this episode regarding gender norms, there is an issue with Finn, Kurt's future brother-in-law, standing up for Kurt when he is getting bullied. Since he was once a jock, he still wants to seem cool. He has a mindset of being too worried about what other people think than to be there for his friend. That being said, this episode featured a lot of character development from Finn, for the wedding scene featured him dedicating a speech and song to Kurt, of Bruno Mars’s ‘Just The Way You Are.’ The LGBTQ+ community and the pride that the club shows is a recurring theme in Glee. Karofsky, who was momentarily expelled, is going to be allowed back to school because there wasn’t proof of him being violent with Kurt. Therefore, he doesn’t feel safe at school, the club tries to protect and console Kurt, but he decides to leave to go to Dalton Academy, a private boys’ academy with a no-bullying tolerance policy. This is a prime example of the school system and their flaws when it comes to protecting queer students. Glee is a very controversial show, but it does a good job of exploring different social topics and issues that are prevalent in the 21st century.
