Someone should make a band named cbt³ and all their songs are either about learning how to program, therapy or bdsm.

hello fun 2ourdust albany things (note i typed this at like 4:30 am last night when i simply couldn't sleep but then passed out before i could post it so it may not be the most coherent)
- pete talking about upstate being special 2 him due to memories of taking a bus to a tattoo parlor in syracuse and feeling inspired by all these cool achc dudes... god i love hardcore scene lore fob stuff ESPECIALLY when upstate gets brought into it
- reinventing the wheel for the first time in apparently seventeen YEARS (i take full responsibility for making this happen due to my showing up in my tttyg crewneck /s)
- andy waved to us!! long story short about 30 of us were waiting by the wrong buses sadly & just barely missed pete & patrick meeting folks by the right ones. we were pretty heartbroken when we came over & found out, but a combination of the andy thing & meeting/trading bracelets/caroling along to folie songs (if ya know ya know) with cool folks turned waiting after the show into a fond memory regardless. i love the fob community, dude. t/2ourdust has changed everything for me.
and still i just find it worth noting how sick it is that this tour pete & patrick have been taking the time to come out & talk w folks. you don't see that much with bands playing arena shows and it makes me happy to see.
- lots of celebration for the smfs anniversary!
muse live (shit is INCREDIBLE live dude), kintsugi & what a time to be alive for medley, lil pete speech about the record.
- ginasfs instead of sixteen candles as a wild card again!!! i cannot believe i have heard her three times now when if you asked me two years ago i never would have thought i'd hear her once!
- smfs is definitely a worthy replacememt for srar in every sense. i appreciate both similarly, and i love that they recall tourdust's srar performance in the sense of it serving as a great medley transition, also in regard a to collaboration (everyone joining in to sing at the end, in this case joe especially)
- that reminds me, it seemed like pete did a lot of backing vox tonight which was nice
- i may only really know a handful of jimmy songs well but great band and jim adkins is one of those people that just seems nice. i like watching the dude do his thing.
- seeing hot mully in an arena was crazy. was pretty sad they cut featuring mark hoppus but still was nice 2 see them
- i remain wholly not a fan of seated shows, at least not for this kinda music, that did get me down at a couple points as i just can't move the way i wanna (not being able to mosh to cbts etc like at tourdust sucked, as well as just being confined to my seat/row all night) & also it seems to keep the crowd in general way more stagnant.
but at least i could see well + no one around me was particularly disrespectful!!
i also respect fob's ability to make a concert at an arena like this still feel like a SHOW (in the scene sense)
- and finally, have nightmare quality pete randomly crawling inside the inflatable dog (i am currently forgetting dude's name)
#fall out boy#fob#2ourdust#so much for 2ourdust#so much for (2our) dust#pete wentz#patrick stump#andy hurley#joe trohman#am i sat here contemplating if i should try to swing pittsburgh wednesday? perhaps#regardless i am just glad to be here/have fob in my life#grateful to have this music & community#wavernot4love gets 2 the gig#2ourdust albany

idk if you know the band ajr, they're an indie pop band and idk if that's your music taste, but i saw a video of them shaving a fan's head on stage in front of a full stadium (it's on their youtube under shorts) and way too quickly thought "someone should let cbt know about this. probably me."
the guy in the vid volunteered bc he went to the military the next day, but imagine like. going to a massive concert and in between songs the band carries on a chair. the spotlight shines across the audience and lands on this long haired person. they get told by the band to come on stage and at first they move freely, but even when they notice the clippers and start trying to move back, the crowd pushes them to the stage. they get pulled up and sat and the whole stadium watches them cry as their hair joins the cables on the ground. at the end, they get sent back to the crowd and they can't even hide in it because their new look is so visible, everyone can see their head shine. the shaving is over, but the shame persists. someone in the crowd reaches over and pets them and more and more people join in. the concert goes on and people are just going around to pet them and pushing them along, but not in the way people push around famous art to see, more in the way people pass around a fidget toy. at the end of the concert, the head is completely greasy with skin oil by all these hands.
this is NOT rpf of ajr, i'm pretty sure they're not the type to force fans into these things, all their crowd stuff seemed to be done with very enthusiastic people, it just inspired me to write this :) probably more likely the band in the fantasy would be some type of metal/punk because the crowd pushing and moving a lot is a big thing at these concerts
bro of all the bands to do this shit why the fuck was it AJR i am crying 😭😭😭 literally the least sexy music of all time
anyway can someone tell trent reznor about this please

hey is anyone else like having their civil rights blatantly violated by their school and a lawyer + trying to decide whether to threaten legal action + waiting for an email + cheating their way thru classes bc the way theyre being taught isnt working for their brain + going into debt they dont understand to do so + trying to find a new therapist but everyone only practices cbt now + not eating enough bc of their meds but physically cannot eat after taking them + has barely checked their messages in months except for a few of their irl friends + their mom doesn’t love them + realizing a situation they were in a few years ago was probably abusive + just found out the singer of a band they loved is an abuser + not sleeping well + cant remember most of the past month + doesn’t have a doctor and is too scared of phone calls to get one + cant work bc of mental illness + cant apply for disability bc of mental illness + the world they live in is spiraling into evil + watching murders happening through their phone + watching murders happening through their phone + watching murders happening through their phone + watching genocides happening through their phone + watching self immolations happening through their phone + watching transphobic hate crimes happening through their phone + feeling very very overwhelmed and helpless and alone etc. Or is that just me lol

"About the Blogger" Meme
Thanks to @all-inmoderation @bioloyg & @imliterallyjustablackgirl for tagging me! ❤️
Star Sign(s):
Sagittarius Sun, Virgo Moon, Pisces Rising <- What does it all mean? No idea! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Favorite Holidays:
Eid, Divali & Christmas <- Not for religious considerations, I associate them with having lots of delicious food, which is precious to me. 🤰🏽
Last Meal:
A slice of pawpaw (papaya), stew chicken, black eyed peas, white rice and sorrel juice. <- #grateful thanks mom 😔
Current Favorite Musician:
Khruangbin because Mark, Laura and DJ are all super talented and disciplined musicians, but also because I want the band's lead guitarist, Mark Speer and the bassist, Laura Lee, but especially Mark Speer, in ways that would shock and alarm you, like IDK anything about his personal life, but I think I'd combust if I met him. Mark if you're reading this that smut chapter in my songfic WIP was only possible because I just know you're good with your-[GUNSHOTS] <- He's not reading this, finish the meme! 😤
Last Music Listened To:
Total Control by The Motels for a The Bear meta post that I did and Hope Tala's "All My Girl's Like To Fight' from my small playlist of songs that I headcanon that Syd and Carmy from The Bear (2022) listen to. The playlist serves as a writing aid for me because regardless of the actual musical tastes of Syd and Carmy in the show's canon, this is a small sample of what the two of them like to listen to as I've characterized them in my fic.
Last Movie Watched:
Precious (2009) I was traumatizing myself and [SPOILERS]
Carmen Berzatto in my WIP fic, because Syd insults him using a gif from the movie and Carmy ends up watching this film so he'd understand the reference because he is a loser and is obsessed with his totally platonic coworker and he wants to know everything about her. 😔
Last TV Show Watched:
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, @devisrina convinced me, but I haven't finished watching it yet and I'm not to sure when I'll resume because The Bear and Sydcarmy still have me in thrall. 😔
Last Book/Fic Finished:
Last book finished, Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Last fic finished.....I shan't say - I'll describe it though - it was a seedy, sketchy, funny, smutty, crack ship one shot gag fic on AO3. I'm ashamed of myself, some of those words in that fic were in The Bible, but chile........anyways. Moving on!
Last Book/Fic Abandoned:
Last book I stopped reading - Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson - Dalinar Kholin, you stupid cunt, why do you always-[GUNSHOTS] <-Girl walk away from the book if it's stressing you that bad, c'mon now - the fictional character's dumb decisions can't hurt you. I'm actually planning on finishing it someday, but I watched The Bear when I was a quarter of the way through the book and now I am totally useless for almost everything else.
Currently Reading:
Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappe, get a free ebook copy of it here while you can. Also the Gaza Diary by Ziad, a 35 year old Palestinian man.
Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation:
High blood pressure and pregnancy, and maternity leave in the US of A, and before that CBT case studies and CPTSD and ADHD, and before that meningitis and sepsis. <- All for my current Sydcarmy WIP.
Favorite Online Fandom Memory:
The day Richonne went canon, or rather that era. <- Love it when racists suffer, schadenfreude can be something so personal. 🥴
Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence:
I want Star Wars and BNHA to be good, but alas....Next question. <- Anyways these franchise/series are making money hand over fist still, nobody cares if I never care about them again, but I do love the ship Inko Midoriya/All Might from BNHA and I ship UkaTake from Haikyuu!! <- I had a lot of fun in that niche marketplace for a time.
Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did:
The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery FUCKS severely - I'm glad that it got a boost on here with The Blue Castle Book Club. Ms. Montgomery put her whole pussy into that book, every single cell and I relate to the book's protagonist, Valancy, quite a lot.
Also, The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner has a smallish, but fairly active following on Tumblr, but it deserves the energy that is devoted to some more popular YA fantasy/historical novel series. <- All of these books are re-readable af, 10/10 no notes.
Tempting Project You're Trying to Reign In/Don't Have Time For:
No such thing because I am unemployed. <- have mercy on me O God! It's been the first year of my adult life that I haven't been in university or running myself through the gristmill of capital and I feel trapped and anxious and fed the fuck up. I hate it here, goddamn!
Sorry to end on such a bummer of a note, but thank you for reading if you've read this far and please, regardless of if you were tagged, play along if you can! I've seen a lot of my mutuals tagged in these things before, so apologies if you've already done this, but*
@vacationship @anxietycroissant @bulabujalam @tvfantic87 @devisrina @dreadfuldevotee @mod-doodles <- please come back to me, Mod, darling, I miss you! 🥲 @jub-jub @pureseasalt <- bestie I miss you too! @ashluvsu4ever @cchickki @parrradiseeee @margaery-bonaparte-said-so @seleneofthejungle @prowitchazel @gardenianoire @artemis0404 @polymorphposting @hauntedstrawberrygiver @justabovewater20 @monetbonet @sab-teraa @agoodworkerdoes @melfinawins @melaninerd @iwantadecentblogname @persephonelovesbooks @november-rising @yannaryartside @bitchqueenofthebitchsquad @waywarddeee @myelegieseulogizeme @paddington22017 @ruethrills @techliche @erins-quinn @sydcarmyfan @lunasink @perkedelktg @couldbemaybe @msmoiraine @darkostudios-blog @angelica4equity @theonlyamazingtazmin @mswyrr @chansoooo1-blog

Favorite bondage sex position of each EC guy?
Are they tied up or their partner?
Oooooh. I don’t think they’re all into bondage but in order for your question to work, i’m gonna modify it a bit to ‘what type of bondage & who’s tied up’
Kevin: predicament bondage (Him)
There’s way too many videos of Kevin letting his bandmates slap him, gag him with a dildo and fucking CBT to not think he likes at least some of it. Predicament bondage is about making a choice with a catch 22: there will be pain in both options (or pleasure).
David: Hair bondage (him&partner)
Really, his hair looks so soft and ready to be pulled. It just works. Also, these big hands need to be put to work and pull someone’s hair. Pretty please.
Pascal: shibari (partner)
I know, i know. Dan is the unofficial-official rigger of the band per the fanbase lore. But what would be the fun in that? I personally think Mr. Perfectionist right here would be good at it, especially since it’s turning someone in a piece of art. Also, who said he didnt get tips from Dan?
Daniel: sensory deprivation (him & partner)
Maybe he read 50 shades of grey. Maybe he tried to be seductive. But I think he’d do well with making his partner wear a blindfold or some noise cancelling headphones so that they’re completely focused on what he’s doing to them. Or what his partner does to him.
Dan: gags and situational bondage (him & partner)
Maybe he enjoys making his partner wear ball or ring gags, just for the looks of it or for the convenience of muffling sounds. If play is the name of the game, he strikes me as someone who might enjoy a situational thing, especially with the amount of fics of him having to hide a boner on stage because he was turned on by someone.
Nico: restrictive (him)
Nico 100% brought fuzzy handcuffs in the bedroom as a joke and once they were used, it wasn’t that much of a joke anymore. Maybe he’s just gonna buy real ones. Just for shits and giggles. (Also the idea of Nico absolutely furious as he’s tied to a bed is glorious imo)

Not gonna moan about the few physical issues bothering me this morning.
Nope, not today. Move aside whinger, make space for the winner......
Up and out for my hormone boosting morning walk. Just that 30 minutes out in the early light does SO much good. Sets me up for a good day, no matter what else happens.
Full winter protocol for the first time in a while. Ugh. Don't leave me, summer!!!
My usual "power up" breakfast back in the house, by the light of the big window.
Dessicated coconut
Sunflower/chia seeds
Seed protein powder (100% ground chia/sunflower seeds)
Cacao powder
Apple
Olive oil
Mixed up with boiled water
Coffee with collagen, creatine, inulin and coconut "milk".
Little stick of liquorice root
Then into our little home gym. I'm very fortunate to have the equipment at home, but you don't need stuff like this to get fitter, stronger and boost literally every part of your system inside and out! Bodyweight and resistance bands are incredible tools!
We all have different targets, goals, fitness levels, health concerns, etc.
My goal now is strength. Muscle endurance. Power.
For me, that means heavy weights.
Another pyramid structure with this session. Ending with the highest weight, working to failure.
Then a high knee sprint for that five interval finisher.
I had the ENT consultant appointment this afternoon, plus a few other chores while we were out in the car, so that was my only fitness for today.
But that was enough. I definitely put the work in for that hour!
Nice coconut cappucino treat at the hospital costa.
And yes, she gave me my THIRD nasal endoscopy. Oh, happy days 🤔😪.
It's mostly a psychological thing. She has recommended I talk to my GP about being referred for CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). She has also given me a course of treatment to hopefully clear up the reflux.
She says I have mild reflux. But she believes the main problem might be my perceived reaction. The physical state, in terms of what's actually there, is not serious enough to incur my reaction to it.
The consultant was lovely. Really listened to me.
I remain optimistic and hopeful!

muttmotorcycles: The collaboration no one asked for… Love them or hate them; there is no denying that McFly were a gateway band for a generation of alternative individuals.
Last Monday, we were lucky enough to have @dannyjonesofficial & @idougahole of @mcflymusic join us at Mutt HQ to do their CBT
CBT training provided by ORMT & @rideto 🤘

For the WIP meme: Groomed (notes) 😊
This is a personal memoir. It's something I've been toying with off and on for a while.
"The week of thanksgiving I’m waiting for my takeout sandwich order and Luke, our soon to be dinner guest for the Indian feast on Thursday: lamb roghan josh, baked saffron rice, a dal and carrots with peas in ginger and turmeric…it was a full day of work, split 50/50 made to feel light working with Graham, letting go of some of this. Back to my takeout sandwich: Luke and I sit and talk for 45 minutes about EMDR and CBT therapies for C-ptsd. Sitting on a bench with another victim of child abuse, or I mean survivor of child abuse and knowing it and even a little owning it. Giving myself space to go to therapy and have a nice Thanksgiving.
Phone calls with Emmy don’t go well. The boundary thing is impossible and it turns out she’s making drama of it. When I sent a thanksgiving care package to the woman I thought was hosting thanksgiving in ND, she asked my mom for my number and my mom made a big deal out of NOT giving it to her. I have to call her and exchange information and chat.
Thanksgiving is nice and I manage to not answer the phone though it rings every night without fail. We go out and go see a band and I lose my purse and id. This after having lost my id after my indulgent Jane Austen 6 day weekend in Denver. So two trips to the DMV and therapy every week with a different therapist working through the alphabet of shit.
From my icklist this week:
the way she talked about the fact that I wanted a baby brother and that she couldn’t have any more kids because she had a difficult delivery, like she would just tell that shit to strangers with me right there as if it couldn’t hurt me…Someone could be like, “How many kids do you have, just the one?” and she would launch into it…as if this stranger has any right to this information not to mention the damage of me hearing that repeatedly.
the way she would retell stories to be more dramatic, always to make herself look more important/better/special/caring etc. and often negating or straight up lying about the contributions of others, I knew she was a liar early on but believed the lies she told anyway like that my father really wanted a boy and that’s why I played with boy’s toys, again she would tell that to anyone as a way of explaining why I was so weird,

- pete magic trick genuinely had me baffled
- SO MANY SURFERS YIPPEE!!!! AND THE PIT (like the actual mosh pit) WAS SUCH A GOOD TIME!!! we had it open for probably a solid two thirds of fob's set!!! during cbts (i've been dreaming about pitting to that song someday for so long!) me and like 20 random folks got arm in arm & did a random kickline thing which we then opened during the bit where it totally picks up w pete near the end! pit also went HARD during bmth (i had a gr8 time in there). all in all i was super pleasantly surprised and had the time of my life w how sceney my crowd experience was
- bmth were INSANELY good. one band i somehow have not seen until now in the nearly nine years i've been listening to them and they completely blew me away. great performance
- oli like, slyly going "i have a question for you" and me in my head just KNOWING he was gonna say can you feel my heart and then him, in fact, doing it was a highlight. also his drown crowd thing is fun. also i found him saying fob were one of the bands he grew up listening to interesting. it's always crazy to me when big bands i've listened to forever also look up to other big bands i've listened to forever.
- stardust project honestly looked beautiful during fake out! shoutout to them
- a fight breaking out and pete and patrick making fun of the prospect of a fight both at a fob show and in canada
- i heard my favorite song EVER (saturday) for the first time in nine years and my first time actually knowing it <3

His Girl Friday - Scene 3
Scene 3 - Words Are Only Words
J: Code red
The text message popped up on James’ phone during his poolside interview from Jennifer - which one he wasn’t sure - making his stomach wrench uncomfortably.
For the last three hours, he had managed to keep Gustavo and RCM/CBT/Global-Net/Sanyoid film crew both occupied and distracted while the building team their boss had hired for a commercial shoot was busy transforming apartment 2-J into the ultrateen crib of his dreams.
In his opinion, he’d been doing an incredible job; If there was one thing James Diamond could do, that was talk, as evidenced by the endless interview footage he’d given the film crew to work with while they put this commercial together. It’d be the first time Big Time Rush would advertise on national and international television, and even if he was driving Gustavo crazy with his endless yapping, he wanted to make sure he was the main focus of the clip. It was a win-win; New apartment, lots of screen time.
The issue now, however, was that the band and their assistant’s plan was being blown wide open, as evidenced by the text from Jennifer.
James hoped it was from Blonde Jennifer and his phone buzzed again.
J: CODE RED
He’d been too caught up in his thoughts to react to the message the first time, but now, as he heard screaming from across the pool, he finally made it out of his head and back to the present, where he noticed Gustavo dragging an agitated Logan and Kendall from the lobby to the poolside by their ears.
Boy did that look uncomfortable.
But, as of right now, saving his friends from their boss’ evil clutches wasn’t his main concern. A code red meant that Bitters was dangerously on the verge of discovering their plan and if Kendall and Logan had been caught, that left Roxanne as the sole defense against the hotel manager.
Before Gustavo managed to pull his friends over to the spot he was currently sat in to perform their interviews, James was quick to rush off the set and enter the lobby from the opposite side to avoid being roped into an inescapable situation. Though their boss was scary, he was only one man with no way of containing three wiley teenagers.
If all went well, Kendall and Logan would be the only two caught anyway. Carlos was busy with Katie and Camille at Rocque Records pretending to have the set for the video built in Studio A when in reality, the set was being constructed in apartment 2-J. Since James had already given his perfect interview, there should have been no reason for Gustavo to seek him out again, but he had devised a foolproof plan to ensure push never came to shove.
Earlier in the day, James had urged his bandmates to join him in fueling Hollywood’s newest accessory trend - bandanas - through their commercial. None of them had agreed because they never supported his risky fashion choices, but it had admittedly worked out for him in the long run. During part of his interview, James had come up with an insane backstory for a character he “made up in his youth” by the name of Bandana Man. Being in front of the camera and continuing to keep the film rolling allowed him to spin the tale of a mild-mannered fashion designer turned night-stalking vigilante. He’d even designed a long, flowing cape and matching eye mask by weaving his collection of purple bandanas together, making sure to detail the design process to the camera.
So, James wouldn’t get caught by Gustavo because James wouldn’t be around. Bandana Man would dash off to 2-J to save the day - and by extension Roxy - to ensure he and his friends gained the apartment of their dreams.
In a matter of seconds, James had hauled the cape and mask on, running up the stairwell to the second floor to make it there hopefully before Bitters and Roxy had a standoff. Hearing the obnoxious sound of power tools as he opened the landing door and entered onto the second floor certainly wasn’t helping their case, but at the very least he spotted his assistant, her back to him, and Bitters rounding the corner down the end of the hallway.
Each of them was equal distance to the door of 2-J, Roxy would certainly beat the middle-aged manager there, yet it was clear something bad was going on. Even if she beat him, BItters would still be able to do something to stop their scheme and James simply couldn’t let that happen.
At least, that’s what he told himself. It didn’t have anything to do with his heart skipping a beat thinking about Roxy being in any kind of danger. Whatever she got herself into would be her fault, even if it was at the band’s expense.
Goddamn it. Ever since he’d seen her in the cheerleaders uniform at the School of Rocque’s first and last-ever basketball game the other day, he’d been having some trouble getting thoughts of Roxy out of his head. It’s not his fault his brain was hardwired to flirt with cheerleaders; Even after his conversation with Logan earlier that day about dating the already-famous for status, James couldn’t forget the adorable way her pigtails curled down past her shoulders or the glimpses he kept sneaking of her perfect legs poking out under the pleated blue skirt.
It’s just a phase, he told himself, you’ll be dating models once BTR’s first album is released.
But he certainly thought Roxy was pretty enough to be a model if she really wanted to.
Her back left foot shifted, the same as his would if he were preparing to shoot across the ice during a hockey game, and his heart skipped another beat. She was about to throw herself right into the heart of the issue at his… the band’s… expense. What kind of hero let an ordinary person fight their battles? Definitely not Bandana Man.
In a flash, he sprinted past her, catching the scent of her delicious floral perfume. The noise of heavy footsteps down the hall alerted the hotel manager to his presence, and James hoped that his large frame and wide cape would conceal his assistant enough so she wouldn’t be held liable for whatever was about to come.
The man froze about halfway down the hall and James struck his best superhero pose, arms akimbo, while imagining his cape effortlessly flowing behind him. He’d seen enough superhero movies to know he looked exactly as cool as he thought he did.
But, honestly, he wasn’t quite sure where to go from here. He’d nailed the pose, he’d saved his friend, but now he needed to contain the villain… So, he screamed and Bitters jumped about a foot off the ground before letting out a defenseless yelp and diving into one of the supply closets on the floor.
In his first week at the Palm Woods, James learned plenty of interesting facts about the hotel while exploring with his friends… Like the fact the supply closets are locked from the outside. Now that their main threat was taken care of, he casually strode over to the door and flipped the lock, pulling one of the extra purple bandanas he had in his pocket and stuffing it into the doorframe just in case.
As the boy turned around to face the other person in the hallway, he had the overwhelming urge to ask if she was alright, but was quickly caught off by her questioning tone, “...James?” He knew the costume wasn’t perfect, but hopped Bitters had been freaked out enough not to notice it was him as fast as Roxy did. With a sigh, he took his mask off, absentmindedly running his hand through his hair to smooth it down after the number the cowl no doubt did to his ‘do.
“And they said bandanas weren’t cool?” He quipped, once again on his crusade to prove them as the best type of accessory.
“They’re not,” His assistant replied, but she was smiling, and to him, at that moment, that was all that mattered. “But thanks for your help. Hopefully, that’ll keep Bitters occupied for a while.”
Before he knew it, he strode over to her, gently taking her hand and placing a light kiss on the back of it. Electrifying.
“Bandana Man is at your service, always.” James somehow managed without missing a beat, despite the blood roaring through his ears at his actions.
The two of them stood like that for a moment, a small inch of contact, before Roxy let her hand fall out of his, before clearing her throat and letting her eyes wander around the hall. “I’ll be sure not to reveal your secret identity…”
God, now she was playing along? But at what point did the Bandana Man facade end and James begin?
Just as he was about to respond, a smirk affixed to his features - because she was definitely flirting with him, right? - the sound of power tools came to a stop from behind the door to apartment 2-J. If they were finished, the construction manager caught the two of them out in the hall, and recognized them from their meeting earlier, Big Time Rush’s plan would be blown wide open; Neither of them was willing to risk that for the thrill of a little back and forth banter.
“We can hide at my place!” Roxy interrupted his train of thought, “Gustavo’s bound to come up here at any second!” As she began fishing around her bag for her apartment key, James' eyes widened, remembering the amendment he and the boys had made to the construction blueprint earlier. A connecting door from apartment 2-J to apartment 2-H.
“No!” He found himself blurting, a bit too fast after her offer, before realizing he didn’t have a good enough excuse as to why not. “No, that’ll be the, uh, first place he looks.”
Her sparking eyes narrowed, “He’d go to your place, not mine.”
James let out an involuntary sigh, not because he was upset with her, but because he was upset that their little exchange was interrupted. Not that it mattered to him that much.
Just as he was deciding the next phase of his argument, the door to 2-J flew open, leaving him and his assistant mere seconds to evacuate the hallway. His quick-thinking hockey senses kicked in and he scanned the area as fast as humanly possible, eyes landing on the stairwell at the end of the hallway.
Without thinking, his hands flew to her shoulders, pushing her a bit more forcefully than he’d meant to down the corridor leading to the landing between staircases. Had he been with Kendall, Carlos, or Logan, that wouldn’t have been a problem, but the moment they reached the other side of the door safely, Roxy aggressively swatted his hands off of her body with a heaving chest.
Immediately, her words from earlier in the day played in his head. “I think it’s just people grabbing me roughly that’s been freaking me out lately.”
She had confided in the band earlier about an incident that led to them being kicked off the Sexy Dog Dog Food set last night and he had just done the same exact thing to her.
“Shit! Sorry… I am so, so sorry, Roxy, I forgot what you said earlier.”
A bead of sweat tickled from her hairline down her cheek before she managed to wipe it away with the back of her hand, still having trouble controlling her breathing.
“It’s… It’s alright,” She pushed out between shaky breaths. Sinking down to the carpeted ground and leaning against the solid wooden door she continued, “I trust you…You were just trying to help me.”
Those words sent him into a spiral as well but for far different reasons.
She trusts me? One of his hands shot out to the wall to steady himself before he eventually ended up dropping down next to her. I’ve known her all of seven days…
When Roxy leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes, her labored breaths slowly became more regular. He listened as she breathed in, held it for a few seconds, and then breathed out before starting the process all over again.
It reminded him, shockingly, of his mother. She’d do the same breathing technique before she had to present at a conference or enter a board meeting. Of course, that was mostly because his dad would be in the same room - Just because they’d been divorced didn’t make him any less of a shareholder in Brooke Diamond Cosmetics - and not because of anxiety, but if James was around she often asked him to tell her a joke to clear her mind before she went in.
“Did you hear what the ocean said to the beach?” He asked on reflex. They were never good jokes, but Brooke would always take her last breath out and manage a crooked smile.
At the very least, it got Roxy to sit up, turning to face her friend even with her troubled breathing. One of her brows raised. “What are you doing?”
He turned to face her as well. “Why would the ocean say ‘ What are you doing?’ to the beach? That would be a terrible joke.”
“I think you should stick with singing, comedy really isn’t the move for you,” She shot back, chucking at her own comeback.
With her laughter, her smile returned, and James considered his mission to be accomplished. And it was infectious, spreading over to him as he said, “In a roundabout way, it got you laughing so I’m calling that a win.”
“You were trying to make me laugh?” That realization sent her into an even larger fit of giggles. “With a terrible joke like that? So stupid…”
James’ heart squeezed.
“I’m pretty sure it’s helping at the moment.”
And he was right, she had nearly forgotten all about her moment of panic, letting a strange, but comfortable silence wash over the stairwell for a moment.
Slowly, Roxy turned to James again once she’d recovered from her giggle attack and held out her left palm. “Give me one of those bandanas you had earlier.”
Say less! The boy thought to himself, pulling out the fistful he’d left in his pocket after his interview earlier. As he handed them over, he teasingly clicked his tongue, “You could at least say ‘please.’”
“Please…” The assistant sighed, reaching out and picking a bright red and white patterned cloth; James pretended not to notice when her nails skirted against his palm. “...Don’t push your luck.”
As she tied up her hair using the bandana, their eyes met for a brief moment and neither of them realized the other looked away to hide to light shade of pink their cheeks were turning.

📌 Welcome friends, foes, and passersby to my personal piece of fandom hell.
About My Blog:
18+ only; minors will be blocked
Please, please put your age in your bio!
No further DNI, but I will block bigots, bullies, and blank blogs. Terfs, aphobes, and exclusionists please exit the blog and find a hobby that isn’t bullying queer people on tumblr.
This blog was originally created as a way for me to share my fanfiction and accept requests, but has since expanded to incorrect quotes, memes, and occasionally non-fandom bs.
It runs pretty much entirely on queue and scheduled posts. I don’t have notifs turned on for the app, so I may take a while to respond to messages and asks.
Fandoms:
The Amazing Devil (Band)
Doctor Who
Fullmetal Alchemist
Harry Potter – I do not support JKR
Hazbin Hotel
Helluva Boss
Steven Universe
The Witcher
I tend to cycle through them based on the whims of my ADHD brain, and when each is posted is unknown even to me.

About Me:
My name is Nico, I’m 25, and I write fanfic. I use they/them and xe/xem pronouns, and have a whole heap of queer labels I fall under. For more info on my labels and term preferences, check out my pronouns.page.
I’m part of an real life love triangle made up of myself, my fiancé, and our boyfriend.
If you wanna read more of my work, I’m on AO3 as fanby, and have some exclusive fics posted there.
Blog’s new, but I’m not. I was on this hellsite back in the ‘go nuts, show nuts’ golden age and when they finally shut this place down, staff will have to call animal control to remove me from the air vents like the rabid little raccoon I am <3
I have a twitter, but there’s literally nothing there that isn’t here. Check it out if you prefer Musk’s bird app, I guess?

Will Write:
Angst with a happy ending

Fluff
Familial relationships
Found family trope
X reader
OCs
Canon x OC
Any relationship style: platonic, queer platonic, romantic, sexual, D/s dynamics
Most kinks
Explicit kink
Non-explicit sexual content
Might Write:
Hurt/no comfort
Crossovers
OOC
Non-canon disabilities and mental illness *1
Alastor as a Voodoo practitioner*2
Explicit sexual content *3
*1 If I’m going to represent a marginalized group, I’m going to do my best to do so respectfully, even in fanfiction. If I’m not confident in my ability to do that, then I may choose not to.
That being said, I’m down to research and I have lived experience with chronic pain and a few mental illnesses. I am extremely confident in my ability to project my own experiences onto my blorbos, and do so quite frequently.
*2 This is mainly for the same reason I won’t write non-canon disabilities. Voodoo is highly misrepresented and I don’t want to contribute to that. I may write him as a past practitioner depending on the circumstances and as long as his current magic is not Voodoo-based.
My personal headcanon is that he grew up practicing Voodoo and ancestral magic, but burned bridges in the pursuit of power and lost support because being a serial killer is generally frowned upon. I usually write his current magic as non-specific, demonic, or Eldritch in nature.
*3 My ability to write explicit sexual content varies, so I’ll be taking this on a case by case basis.
Won’t Write – This Fandom-Specific Content:
Note: These are due to personal preference, deeply ingrained headcanons, and nunn’yuh (none ya business). I am not judging or condemning any of these ships/headcanons/etc. or people who make fanworks involving them; it’s just a comfort thing.
Hazbin Hotel:
Rosie in an NSFW context
Chalastor
Alastor x Niffty
Angel Dust shipped romantically with women
Vaggie shipped with men
The Witcher:
Yennefer bashing
Ciri (including adult!Ciri) shipped with any Wolf School Witcher
Ciri (including adult!Ciri) shipped with Jaskier/Dandelion
Won’t Write – This General Content:
Note: A good deal of this section falls under Kinktomato or YKINMKATO (Your Kink Is Not My Kink (And That's OK)) and DLDR (Don’t Like, Don’t Read) – just like, with writing instead of reading.
I’m not here to take sides in shipcourse or police other people’s writing; this is, again, about my own comfort level with writing certain topics. That’s it.
Scat/watersports/emeto kink
Adult x minor ships
Underage NSFW/smut/explicit, including any underage kink
Incest, including adoptive/step family
Detailed or romanticized non-con *1
Detailed or romanticized dub-con *1
Detailed or romanticized suicide *2
Detailed or romanticized self harm *2
*1 I can write aftermath of non-con/dub-con or attempted non-con/dub-con, but will not go into detail or portray it as in any way positive. I won’t write the reader or a canon characters as the perpetrator, unless it’s already in canon – AKA: The Valentino Exception. This does not include negotiated CNC, which I would consider writing under specific circumstances.
*2 Any time I write content involving suicide or suicidal ideation, I write with the National Recommendations for Depicting Suicide in mind.
The way suicide is portrayed in fiction can have real world consequences:
“Studies have shown that both news reports and fictional accounts of suicide in movies and television can lead to increases in suicide. In contrast, when depictions are done responsibly, the media can help to encourage help seeking, dispel myths, and reinforce hope – and ultimately save lives.”
(Source: Alliance for Suicide Prevention)
I am a suicide survivor and have lost loved ones to suicide as well, so this is deeply personal to me. If you’re struggling with self harm or suicidal thoughts, please hold on, and don’t be afraid to ask for help:
International Suicide Hotlines
Australia Lifeline: 13 11 14
Canada Talk Suicide: 1.833.456.4566
UK Samaritans: 116 123
USA Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988
