I was reading a new Demi Lovato interview and they were talking how one of the reasons she was so obsessed with succeeding was to get their father's attention (she had a complicated relationship with him)... Like, they did love her work, but it was also an unhealthy coping mechanism for the family issues, bullying, SA trauma, undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses etc... Now I wonder if that's also one of the reasons why Lestat loves music and theater so much? Sure, there's genuine appreciation for art there and possibly some levels of narcissism too, but it could also be the child him craving for the attention and love he didn't get from his family growing up.

P.S. I'm alternating neutral and feminine pronouns because Demi is non-binary and uses both ok

"It being a largely sober tour was huge for me too. I've been sober a long time and being in that more healthy atmosphere and environment was really nice. It was a win all around."

I know this news is like 2 months old but it's crazy how they can give a mainstream pop star someone else's guitar on a mainstream late night talk show and not even mention whose guitar it is and the impact said woman has had in the rock community and for the women in it but it takes a deep cut interview of Lzzy to find out this even happened at all. Also, according to her she didn't even know they were gonna do it until the day of. That could have been decent press for her and the band but of course they're not gonna give a spotlight to her because she isn't a household name to them. Especially beside a mainstream pop star. Seems kinda shitty to me but I guess I'm biased.

truly incredible how summertime super girly pop music immediately makes me suspend my self-presentation as death-obsessed anachronistic creep so i can go beach party mode

if Mercury is in Cancer, the voice tends to be soft and calming to hear. Ex: Margot Robbie, Elsa Pataky, Kate Beckinsale etc

Mercury in Scorpio gives the native a certain, almost nasally twang to their voice, it's not exactly nasally but i cant think of a good way to describe it, its deeper and fuller sounding but there's a certain twang to it.

Band AU: Hazbin Hotel

Because there's always a band AU.

-666 News Broadcast Theme Plays through the dive bar cafe from the small, flickering TV in the corner-

Katie Killjoy: Breaking News in the Pop industry today! Our sunshine and rainbows, Mandy Moore wannabe, and Princess of Hell, Charlotte Morningstar, has come out with a new music video to help promote a brand new album that appears to have been conjured up seemingly overnight.

Angel: Hey, Vagina! (Elbows Vaggie) Ain't that your girl crush from the open band night down at Husk's Casino two months ago?

Vaggie: (chokes on her coffee) What?! Turn it up, Jackass!

Angel: (steals the remote from across the bartop and turns up the TV)

Tom Trench: And, boy howdy, this makeover is on par with most Disney child stars diving off the deep end!

Katie Killjoy: (spears a pen through Tom's hand) No one gives a shit Tom.

Tom Trench: MY HAND!!!

Katie Killjoy: Spectators and fans of our usually diabetically sweet princess feel that this sudden shift is caused by her breakup with Seviathan Von Eldritch just last month, ending the royal arranged engagement, after he mentioned how she refused to "put out" before marriage in an interview with Hell's High Class Weekly.

Vaggie: (bristles) The douchebag....

Katie Killjoy: Let's watch as our lovely princess makes her breakdown public.

-Screen shifts to Charlie holding a mic in one hand while picking a guitar in another, wearing 2000's Avril Lavigne glam rock attire (hot pink, baggy cargo pants, black leather studded belt, rainbow converse, black leather wrist bands, grey tank top with two black goats faced just the right way so their curved horns make a heart and tied together with a rainbow knot, and a black and red stripped tie) Razzle and Dazzle are playing drums and bass-

Charlie: Don't you know that IIIIIIIII- (flips off the camera and sticks out her tongue while mouthing "Fuck you, Seviathan" as the song reaches its climax) I don't give a daaaaaaaamn about you!!! I won't give it up, not for you!!! I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy. A guy who thinks he's all that!

Vaggie: Whoa! (Big smiles like when Adam got stabbed) Get it, Charlie!

Katie Killjoy: (as the screen returns to normal) Other songs on the album include "Behind These Crimson Eyes", "The Dick Who Blocked His Own Shot", "Smack a Bitch", "Since U Been Gone", and the gay community's rabid favorite "Dear Vaggie"-

Angel: (sucking down his third popsicle for breakfast) What now?

Vaggie: WHAT?!?!?!?!

Katie Killjoy: -The obviously plagiarized parody of "Cool for the Summer" by Demi Lovato has unsubtle lesbian and bisexual overtones that specifically mentions Vaggie "the Steel Vagina". The lead singer and guitarist of the Power/Grunge Metal band, Fallen Angels

Angel: (wheezes as he laughs breathlessly and falls off his stool)

Vaggie: (steaming) Angel!!! ¡Eres un chupapollas, hijo de puta! Why would you tell the news that was my name?!

Angel: (ugly walrus gasps and giggles) Because it's better than I ever dreamed!!!!

Katie Killjoy: Fans of both artists are absolutely frothing at the mouth to see what Vaggie's response will be.

Tom Trench: Frothing at the mouth and other orifices, if you catch my drift. (Gets a pen slammed into his balls) GaaAhaHaaaaHaha!

Katie Killjoy: More on this story tonight at eleven.

Vaggie:

Angel: Soooooo~ Whatcha wanna doooooo~?

Vaggie: We're going to Tune Town, getting a copy of that album-

Angel: Ooooooooh-hohohoooooh~ I can visit dat nice glory hole they got there.

Vaggie: -THEN!!! We are going back to the apartment and making a response single.

Angel: Do you know what you even want to put in it?

Vaggie: (slipping on her jacket) I'll figure it out after listening to the album!

1. What's wrong with being confident?

Masterlist - Prologue - Next

Confident - Demi Lovato

“Oh my gosh, are you okay?” you heard the masculine voice say.

You were slowly trying to process the situation. In a desperate attempt to avoid the collision, you had jumped on the side. You’ve been fast enough to avoid a complete encounter with full force with the scooter but not quick enough to avoid it entirely. You were holding your left side, a bit breathless. You were sure it was not broken, however you would be bruised in the morning. You felt a pair of hands on your shoulders and a scent of sandalwood hitting your nostrils. Looking up, you met two worried green eyes.

“I’ll survive.” you mumbled, getting away from him.

That’s when you noticed who the stranger was. Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari monegasque driver, in all his glory. You were not unaware of who he was, part of your job including a thorough research of each sportsman you would come across. You would be able to recite by heart his biography to a point some might say would be concerning. Not that you particularly would call yourself a fan. You liked to know exactly who you had in front of you. You preferred to be over prepared than the opposite.

“Do you need me to come with you to the medical center? I’m so sorry, I was in a rush and…”

“No shit, Sherlock.” you replied, your cold tone throwing him off his feet. “Sorry. I’m a bit stressed out.” you added, a little bit more softly.

“It’s fine. By the way, I’m Charles.” he finally introduced himself, extending his hand for you to shake but you were already leaving.

“I know who you are, Il Predestinato.” you replied, turning your head in his direction.

If you knew who he was, Charles didn’t know a single thing about you and he stayed still, staring at your silhouette until Silvia furiously walked in his direction, telling him he was about to be late for the interviews. He promptly apologized, images of your encounter running up in his mind and headed to the media pen, his PR officer right next to him, as if making sure he would not run away.

“And remember, you can’t wait to be in the car, you’re happy with it and you’ll do everything you can to bring as many wins and podiums as possible.” she whispered to him as they were approaching the first journalist.

“I hate lying.”

“You’re not lying. You’re not saying the entire truth. The team first, Charles.”

He put on his best PR trained face and politely replied to the questions, moving from one journalist to the other, feeling like he was dissociating by the minute.

“French TV is last. She is new, I don’t know what to expect from her questions, just be concise.” Silvia instructed him as he nodded. And that’s when he recognised you. You clearly were the last person he expected to meet but, here you were, your hair carefully attached in a ponytail, your microphone ready to welcome his answers.

“Hi Charles, you could have won the title last year if it hadn’t been for both your own driving mistakes and team’s mishaps. How do you approach this new season?”

The mention of his previous season made him clench his jaw.

“Well, everyone put a lot of work into the car this year. We hope we will be able to fight with Red Bull even if they seem exceptionally strong this year.”

“Frederic Vasseur has been appointed as your new team principal, you both share a lot of history in F1. Do you think it will change something in the team dynamic, especially between you and Carlos?”

“What I appreciate about Fred is how honest he is, some things have already been improved. It is still too early to know what changes will be made, but both Carlos and I fully trust his vision.”

“What are your personal goals this season, do you expect to fight for the title?”

“I hope to fight for wins. Like usual.” he said, staring at her as she did the same. It was clearly not the answer she wanted if he could interpret the way she was biting her bottom lip. He thanked her, making his way towards the exit, still Silvia right behind him.

“I don’t like her questions, she is trying to get a reaction out of you. I’m going to do some research on her, to know who she is exactly so we can prepare you better.”

“Are we done for the day?”

“We are. For now. We have dinner with some members of Estrella’s board tonight at seven, so don’t be late.” she reminded him before leaving.

Charles sighed and wandered around the paddock, trying to find a little peace and quiet. The season would be long with a car he wasn’t feeling comfortable in. But it was like that, he couldn’t change it, he could only suck it up and hope for the best. He was not a quitter, he would give his all. And he didn’t lie, he was trusting Fred with all he had.

“Charles Leclerc, my good friend. How are you doing?” George Russell called him out as he was leaving the Mercedes hospitality.

“I’m coming out from the most painful interview of the day.” he replied as the Brit started to laugh.

“Oh, who gave you a hard time?”

“The girl for French TV.”

“Y/N.” George stated as Charles looked at him weirdly.

“How do you know her name?”

“I asked. She was very nice to me. I had a lovely time chatting with her, really.”

“Well, in that case she must have her favorites and clearly, I’m not one of them.” Charles mumbled as the Mercedes driver started to pat his back.

“Poor Charles, for once there is a girl that is not fanning over you….”

“I’m just asking for her to be impartial. That’s all.”

But in front of George’s laughing face, he ended up trying to defend his case. It was hopeless. He said his goodbye, wishing him good luck for the Free Practice on the next day.

You were coming out of your first journalist meeting of the season, deciding on what the weekend would look like for everyone. Fortunately, you had been paired up with Marion for Friday as you would be walking around the pitlane and the paddock, interviewing top engineers and trying to get a glimpse of what a F1 paddock was looking like on a Friday. On Saturday, you would be shooting a report in Alpine’s garage and hospitality which would be aired on TV during the week. And on Sunday, you would be in the media pen, interviewing the drivers after the race. A lot of things to prepare, but you were excited about it. You were also grateful that your team was so welcoming and helpful. It already felt like a family and you couldn’t wait to spend more time with them.

On your way out to the paddock and as you were about to badge your way out, you noticed someone running to do the same and you sighed in annoyance when Charles appeared next to you. Life was testing your patience out today.

“Excuse me, I’m in a rush. I’m late for a sponsor meeting.” he said, passing in front of her.

“Being in a rush doesn’t prevent you from not acting like a dick. I was about to badge my way out.”

“You should have been faster.” he shrugged and heard you mumble an ‘asshole’. “What is your problem with me?” he asked, fed up by her behavior.

“I don’t have any problems.”

“What about asking me dirty questions?”

“Oh, that is what it’s all about. Well, sorry to bruise your ego but not everyone thinks you’re a generational talent. And my questions were legitimate. I'm not one to sugarcoat things.”

“Apparently you’re not like that with every driver.”

“What are you implying?” you arched an eyebrow.

“George Russell only had nice things to say about your questions, Pierre Gasly as well. I bet I was the only one who got your petty questions.”

“That’s not true. And I don’t have to justify myself to you. If you only want nice questions, try to win on Sunday.” you hissed, walking to the taxi waiting for you faster.

Who was he to imply that you were not doing your job well? He didn’t know you and was judging you. If you weren’t holding Charles Leclerc close to your heart before, it was even worse now. And if he wanted you to play dirty, well, he wasn’t ready for what was coming for him.

Charles hated sponsors’ events. He knew that it was part of his job but if he could avoid it, he wasn’t thinking twice. He hated faking smiles and niceties. He hated the all too tight suit that he was wearing and Silvia’s look on him, making sure he wasn’t about to run away. He glanced at his drink, sparkling water with a slice of lemon in it, and sighed. Just a few more hours and he could go back to his bed. He thought his nightmare was over until he saw Silvia coming to him with a girl by her side. Pretty, he had to admit. Her long wavy brown hair and her green eyes, were giving her an almost royal posture. And Charles knew exactly what was going to be discussed.

“Charles, just the man that I wanted to see.” Silvia smiled at him. A smile that Charles knew well as it was the usual one she was wearing when she expected something from him. “I wanted to introduce you to Emery, she is the daughter of one of our biggest sponsors.”

The driver smiled at the woman and nodded, not patient enough to give her small talk. 

“I thought you two could have a talk, maybe being seen out together this weekend in the garage. See if you guys can hit it off. Who knows where it could lead.”

He had enough.

“I’m telling you exactly where it will lead, Silvia. Nowhere. Absolutely fucking nowhere. My personal life is exactly that, private.”

“Charles, you know that it’s better for you to be seen with someone. Think about the sponsors.”

“Screw them. I don’t care about the sponsors, I care about a fast car that Ferrari was not able to give me so please, with all due respect, let me be.” he turned to Emery. “ You seem nice, this has nothing to do with you, have a nice evening.”

He was about to leave when he heard Silvia calling out for him.

“Charles! Stay here! You still have people to see!”

“Ask Carlos!”

And without a second glance, he passed through the doors of the hotel.

Saturday was about to be a busy day for you. You would spend your day in Alpine’s garage and hospitality to shoot the first part of a documentary that would follow Alpine throughout the year. You had been able to discuss with Esteban and Pierre after qualifying as you were shooting a few more close ups on the equipment. When it was finally over, you packed up your things and were about to make your way out when you met Pierre and Esteban coming out from the debriefing.

“Rough meeting?” you asked, noticing the gloomy mood coming out of both of them.

“Kind of, yes. We can’t say much.” Pierre shrugged, an apologetic look on his face.

“That’s fine, I understand. Now that the cameras are off, I can say I’m rooting for you.”

It made them laugh and they kept on chatting a little, a coffee in their hands.

“You know you are nicer when you don’t have your mic with you.” Esteban smiled.

“I mean, I’m not the same person when I do my job than when the cameras are off. I guess you can relate. To a certain extent.”

“Believe us, we do. But it’s nice to have someone around that we can talk to and who understands that. Maybe we could be friends.”

“I don’t know if that’s something we could actually be. Even if we are shooting a documentary, we probably see each other quite a lot.” you admitted.

“That’s fine, we understand. But if you ever down for a coffee or come to a party, let us know.” Esteban said.

Charles was on his way out, content with his qualifying when he saw Pierre running to him. They talked a bit about the session before moving to more personal topics. Charles told him all about Silvia trying to set him up with someone, making Pierre laugh.

“Speaking of girls, you know that the French TV is shooting a documentary about Alpine this season.”

“Good luck with her, I hope you’re ready to handle her petty questions.” Charles said bitterly, throwing off his best friend.

“Come on, she is nice. Dedicated to her job, yes. Perfectionist, for sure. But when the microphone is off, she is very nice. It reminds me about someone.”

“Be careful, though. She is a journalist, she is sneaky by definition. Mind your words around her.”

“Who pissed in your cereal this morning? I’ve never seen you reacting this way around anyone.”

“I don't like her. That’s all.”

And Charles was about to like you even less when he was forced to go to the media pen, on Sunday, after his DNF and he saw you, waiting for him, a smirk on your face. Unconsciously, he rolled his eyes as he was reluctantly coming forward. You looked happy when all he wanted was to forget about his day. And he thought he was about to burst when he heard your first question.

“So Charles, a reliability issue cost you the race. You would have ended up third if it hadn’t been for this issue. Does it scare you sometimes, Charles Leclerc, to be remembered as an unreliable driver?”

It pissed him off, the question pushing all his buttons and revealing everything about his insecurities. He saw Silvia glaring at him, silently asking him to not overreact.

“I think it’s just up to me to prove you wrong and to give my all, races after races. Of course it’s not the first race of the season that I was hoping for but I’ll bounce back.”

She politely thanked him as Silvia was pressing him out of the media pen. He gulped and looked at you one last time to see you staring at him, your face unreadable, and he swore to himself that if you wanted to torture him with you questions, then he would find his own way to give you a taste of your own medicine.

One of the reasons why I love Armand and Lestat so much is that I think they're characters more defined by the emotion than action? That's not to say the story can't be eventful with them, it can and it is, specially with Lestat who is the protagonist, but they always make me feel something. They constantly touch my heart. And intensity is such a big thing for me. As a reader, a listener, a viewer. My favorite lines, scenes, songs and performances are usually the most cathartic ones because there's just something really powerful and moving about those moments. I'm wholeheartedly obsessed with that.

[wiitzend]

the problem with this whole child stars situation and that brings me back to cole sprouse’s interview (yeah, i know he is problematic too) but he spoke about how his mom pushed him both him and his brother to work as a kids to sort of full-fill her dreams as an artist and also to help them financially since she was a single mom and i get that but this is the thing that also demi lovato said, at one point she wants financially sustaining her entire family and this creates a weird power imbalance where she not longer viewed her mom as a authority figure because she was acting as the breadwinner of the family.

a lot of parents know they’re setting up their kids to this situations and yet want to ignore it because they want the money and for their child’s to keep paying the bills. only alexa nickola’s mom was like yeah no, we’re leaving at the first sign that something was really wrong.

alyson stoner in her podcast (worth watching) also speaks about how if you notice a lot of the productions nowadays take place in states where rules against child actors aren’t in action for example altlanta so it’s easier for production to manipulate it. I know a big portion of child actors have had some horrible experiences at some degree and most don’t want to either relieve that or admit that it happened to them. and that’s fair.

i agree 100%.

i genuinely don't understand a parent's wish to live vicariously through their own children and push them to become child stars when they willingly know the dangers that can come from that. if you have to work extra hours as a single parent to support your children then that's what just what you have to do as an adult. you never made it in hollywood and you're still bitter because of that? too damn bad. get over it. some of these parents play an equal hand in their children's abuse and they need to be held accountable as well.

i think it's incredibly valid that some child actors don't want to reveal that happened to them when working on these tv shows/movies. some of these stories are pretty horrific, i just hope they get the help they need to heal and move on so the people who abused them won't be able to steal another minute of their peace and well-being.
