--------------------------------------------------------

Waking up and realizing the life you're living isn't exactly what you desire anymore and deciding to pursue your passion, move to a city in another country and devote yourself to trying to become somebody in the world can be an extremely scary thought for many, but not for this one person.

Today, the first guest on my blog that has been kind enough to sit and speak with me about the stories behind not only himself but also his music and the pain and happiness that has accompanied him along the way is aspiring independent artist, Robbie Z.

L: Hey, Robbie! Thank you for taking the time to speak with me about yourself and your career today, I really appreciate it! You are the first artist to be interviewed on my blog, so it is an absolute pleasure of mine to accommodate your story today!

R: Hi Liam, so nice to meet you! Congratulations on starting your blog! This is really cool, good luck with it! And thank you for having me as your first guest, it's an honour!

L: Thank you so much, Robbie! It's kind of crazy and I cant thank you enough for the opportunity to do this together, now let's get into it!

--------------------------------------------------------

L: You started your professional career in 2018, it's now 2023, whats the journey been like for you?

R: Ahh, it's been so exciting! Music is what I want to do long term. It's my passion, so growing up doing that and learning from my mistakes has been amazing. It's an amazing thing that I started so young to be honest. I always knew I wanted to do this; I started recording covers in 2014, when I was 11/12 and started writing my own music when I was 15 in 2017! So, when I was around 14, I thought "huh.. I wanna do that? Then I might as well start now if I wanna get good at it young." Because when I started I was really bad haha… but it also helped me get thick skin in terms of bullying etc. it's been amazing, but it's truly only the beginning!

------------------------------------------------------

L: I've seen that you have inspiration from Iggy Azalea, who else in the music industry compels you to want to do more?

R: I've always been a fanboy.. Some incredible women besides Iggy who "raised me" as an artist are definitely; Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. More recently, I've been really loving Madison Beer, Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Taylor Swift.. I get really inspired by these artists to work hard and achieve all my goals. It really drives me forward.

-----------------------------------------------------

L: The vibe of The Butterfly Trap is very fresh, a total feeling myself energy, but it also includes emotional parts that relate to the listeners life - what kind of vibe can we expect from the new project?

R: Ahhh, thank you! Writing the first EP, I was kind of in a tough spot mentally.. I wrote it from the ages of 18 to 19 and I was going through a lot of stuff that I couldn't understand in my life which made me very confused, sad, angry… This new project is totally different.

First of all, it's elevated in terms of quality in the songwriting, recording etc. Secondly, in "The Butterfly Trap", I was really vague while talking about the struggles.. Masking them in a lot of metaphors. I was afraid to speak of these topics in songs as I was still going through what I was going through while writing. This new project "Dear Diary," is more so me reflecting on situations whilst also having fun, a less anxious, more out going alter-ego of mine! But, as fun as it is, it also has some deep messages that really cut deep for me and it just even feels a little uncomfortable when someone listens to some of these new songs as they're so personal to me. Hence the name, "Dear Diary". It's supposed to be inspirational and honest, but it also talks about lots of different topics such as following your dreams, getting your dreams taken away from you, one sided love, letting yourself live freely.. It's basically 6 different diary entrees of mine put into songs.

-----------------------------------------------------

L: I've noticed you have a lot of unique sounds. Do you enjoy being multi genre and having the ability to switch flows whilst also being able to use sounds that seperate you from the rest?

R: Honestly? I love mixing genres. I love rap verses with pop hooks, rock hooks, punk, ballads, anything. But, I've been spending time trying to find my sound and I think I've finally found one that is just perfectly me, right now. This new single '5 Dollars & a Dream' is exactly what I would want to be remembered with regarding the genre, flow, lyrics etc. I don't want to give myself any labels as a "pop artist" or a "rock artist" etc. I just consider myself a rapper/singer who likes to change. But Pop Rap is what I would describe it as if I have to!

-----------------------------------------------------

L: 5 dollars + a dream (a song that is beautiful by the way and extremely reminiscent of Iggy's earlier work which I LOVE entirely) , whats the story behind this track and what was the process like behind making it?

R: Oh my god, thank you so so much!! This song means the most to me so I really appreciate the nice words. The story behind the track… I think it's pretty straight forward to be honest, which is why I'm a little afraid of people hearing it. It's about knowing what you want to do, having started that and just following your dreams (as lame as it sounds). The song talks about some parts of my story, which I've never been vulnerable about in songs before. And not letting myself give up. Making the song was an absolute blast. One night a few years ago I was in my bed, in my home town in Bulgaria, and I thought of the phrase "I got five dollars and a dream…" with the melody and I wrote it down, then last year as I was packing up to move to London, I wrote the first verse which goes like "I took all of my belongings and I put them in a suitcase…" Initially I wanted it to be a song I write for my first album one day, but it just felt right so I brought it to my producer "SojBoj" , we made the instrumental and a demo and then I wrote the second verse and recorded it! It was really fun!

------------------------------------------------------

L: There is a lot that goes into being an independent artist, how has that been for you so far? Have you had any label offers yet?

R: Being indie or signed each have their own ups and downs / good and bad sides, it just really depends on what an artist wants.. For me? I've been fortunate enough to grow, learn and find myself as an independent artist. I couldn't imagine starting out with a record deal from the beginning. But now I feel I'm ready to get signed and get this party started. Being indie obviously gives me the opportunity to have full creative control which I'm not willing to sacrifice. Whilst it's not for everyone, for me, when the right deal comes, it'll definitely be something I do, because the connections and resources a label has are so worth it for a young artist like me.

-------------------------------------------------------

L: Who have been your main musical inspirations behind this new project thats coming later this year?

R: Ahh! Well, whilst there hasn't been a specific one, I'd say, of course I'm always super influenced by Iggy Azalea; especially her first album 'The New Classic'. '5 Dollars & a Dream' is actually kind of inspired by her song 'Work'. But I'm also now inspired by a lot of punk rock music, more contemporary pop-rocky songs, A lot of just everyday things that I romanticise and turn into songs. Sonically, I make what I want to hear, putting my own input on the kind of music I like. Like a mixture of everything I like, quite literally.

---------------------------------------------------

L: You're doing a show at the Metre Squared In London after the single drops, are you excited to perform and what should people expect to see?

R: I love performing! Back in Bulgaria, I had some performing experience, but when Covid hit, it was hard to get performances.. I did a car-concert, it was super fun! I was in a big truck performing to around 100 cars! I was an opening act for a drive-in movie theatre. When I moved to London though, that is when it really started for me with the performances. I've done some shows the past year that amazed me with the amount of people who came to have fun and listen to music, but also the people who actually know my songs and connect with it, it's my favourite thing in the world. The show is coming up on the 14th of October in Metre Squared in London, and tickets for that show are on sale now! I'm super excited. It'll be the first time I perform my EP, prior to it's release!

-------------------------------------------------

L: With your new music coming very rapidly, and a show coming up around the corner, are you looking forward to what the future holds for you and where your art will take you?

R: I am a very goal orientated person, I've got lots of big and smaller goals that I will accomplish soon. I don't like sharing those before they come true, but I have to say; I've got something that I'm working really hard for that I really hope to get to do within the next year. Plus also, always lots of new music! I've got stuff planned for even after the EP, and my releases will become more often too!

------------------------------------------------------

L: For our last question, Robbie, I want to ask you - who in the music industry, whether it be a singer, rapper, producer, writer, absolutely anyone, who would you love to work with the most and why?

R: There's a bunch of people I admire and would find it an honour to work with, but off the top of my head, I'd say a producer that I would really want to work with one day is Jack Antonoff! He's incredible, it seems like to be so much fun working with him. Dan Nigro is another one, he created Olivia Rodrigo's first two albums with her, he's amazing! Artist-wise, Iggy Azalea. She inspired me to start all of this craziness, she helped me find my path when I was really young and I just admire her for a hundred other reasons, it would be CRAZY. I think maybe a song of mine with Ice Spice or Charli XCX would be so fun too! Me and Charli XCX have to make a song about cars together one day!

-------------------------------------------------------

L: Well, Robbie, it has been absolutely beautiful and a true pleasure speaking with you and getting to hear your thoughts about your music and everything to do with your grind! I would also like to thank you for letting me hear your new single prior to release! I am excited for whats to come from your career given the product that we already have from you and the world should prepare themselves for the undeniable force that is yourself!

R: Thank you so much for having me, Liam. It means so so much to me, the questions were great, they made me think deeper and I really enjoyed it!

L: I'm glad to hear that, Robbie! Once again, thank you SO much for being my first guest on my blog and hopefully this wont be the last time we speak! I look forward to hearing your new EP!

---------------------------------------------------

To anyone reading; Robbie Z's new single '5 Dollars & a Dream' from his new EP 'Dear Diary,' comes out this Friday, September 22nd!

It'd mean the world to me, as his interviewer and to him as an indie artist if you gave it a listen!

You can also buy tickets to his upcoming show on October 14th at Metre Squared in London in his INSTA BIO (@iamrobbiez)!

rant #2: internet watering down alt subcultures

(before or in case some ppl jump me in the replies i just want to clarify that ik this acc revolves around anime content but i’ve been into the goth subculture for a few yrs now and i don’t want ppl to think i’m a poser talking out of my ass just bc i don’t post or repost any goth topics/have a gothic style for my blog )

but um

why do ppl call anything remotely alternative ‘goth’ or ‘emo’…..

im sry but the ‘“i need a goth mommy’ or ‘i love goth girls’ mfs are actually unbearable like no u don’t even know what goth is, you just want a hypersexual e-girl with black hair and bangs with heavy eyeliner (same goes for the ‘i need a metalhead bf’ mfs who just want a tall guy w pretty long hair who plays the electric guitar)

those same ppl have started saying shit like ‘noooo i actually want a trad goth 🥺…um! well..no trad goth wants u..😁😁😁😅

like pls u didn’t know what a trad goth was until goth ppl started joking abt this sort of situation and using them as an examples for ‘goth girls’ that aren’t onlyfans models wearing skimpy black clothes and using goth as a buzzword for engagement, u just want to look good😭

also h8 the people that call themselves goth or emo and get defensive when u tell them they’re not bc they don’t even listen to the music or know about the culture of those scenes

‘omg im so emo😂😂😂’ be srs ur wearing a black t-shirt and u bully actual emos

and i’m not ‘gatekeeping’😭 u called ur self goth, we asked around and heard u said ur fav goth band is deftones LMAOO (b4 u get on my ass im not saying deftones is bad, theyre p cool, just not goth😭)

i genuinely fw people or babybats who take time to learn more about things they’re interested in rather than being an annoying trendhopper who thinks listening to shoegaze, wearing alt clothing and being freaky or smth makes them a ‘dommy goth gf’ or a metalhead😭

one of the biggest perpetrators of this have to be the is abt the tiktok #affliction #y2k #jncos male manipulator ushanka wearing cornballs. some of them r chill but a lot of them STINK!! bc of gekkasanctuary (zero hate i actually love him and follow him on all my ig accs ‼️) getting on some of their fyps they’ve started trendhopping once more and begun to waste their money on jp archive fashion and if six was nine just so they can thirst trap to malice mizer and tag their posts w #vkei. hate them💔

anywho this rant is mostly abt the watering down of the goth subculture and not vkei so don’t let me get carried away, i’ll probably rant abt this sometime next yr since i literally do not post at all😭😭

lastly i do NOT fw the onlyfans ladies who tag their posts w #gothgirl or gross captions with more ‘goth mommy’ stuff and continue to perpetuate stereotypes of all goth women being hyper sexual and dominant ☠️

if ur a goth lady and ur like this there isn’t anything wrong w it or wtv, you do you😭i really jus don’t like the stereotype bc it leads gross men to think all goths want to be sexualized without their consent, barked at in public and asked to peg someone (which has happened to me b4 sadly)

ummmm anwyays conclusion of this rant, i don’t fw trendhoppers , weirdos and ppl who water down alt subcultures and use them as buzzwords to perpetuate stereotypes

this is p much a word salad and nothing i wrote down is going thru my brain anymore so pls take this w a grain of salt, if i made any mean comments i was literally just pissed writing this 😭

12.3.23 - 2:48p: gave up IG just to hop back on tumblr. my life is not too hot at the moment. not the worst but definitely just not the business. mainly dealing with my shortcomings as a parent. my priorities were not in the right place and now my son is acting out pretty bad. I have my household to maintain, new job but still not enough support around me to have freedom to repair the damage done. I used IG as an escape, a major distraction from what was truly important. I wasn't using it properly. IG is not terrible, it's just how you pair it with your life. I'm so internally damaged that I seek attention from family and friends by carefully curating posts to my IG stories for views and conversations. Ignoring my son in the process, brushing him off but using him at the same time for "IG clout". I got triggered pretty bad by something on IG that really made me wild paranoid. I was distraught but by my own doing. It happened while I was at work and I did not like that experience at all. I didn't want to feel that way anymore. I didn't want my sanity being toyed with like that anymore. I had to give it up for the time being. It should not be having me all fucked up in the head. I should not allow something as silly as social media to have such power over my life. I had to let it go. I had to regain some sort of control. I gathered phone numbers I didn't have and got rid of it. I have done it once before and came back after like 3 years. I'm not sure how long I'll be off of it. Indefinitely or temporarily. I'm gauging it based on if I'm able to find a solid balance with my life and then maybe slowly integrating myself back into it. I just don't trust myself because I'm very vulnerable right now. I'm crying everyday. Not all day but literally every single day. It's mentally exhausting. I feel like this isn't another attention-seeking thing for me. I'm not tagging or trying to boost recognition for this space. I just need an outlet. I thought physically journaling would work but writing my thoughts feels different from typing. I like with tumblr that I can find pictures, quotes and music to mix in with my thoughts. I don't want to be found but if anyone happens to resonate, then welcome to my space. I surprisingly did have followers when I had my old tumblr blog and I honestly don't know why or how lol. I think I did tag my posts but mainly for my own archive to find my own stuff easily. My son is napping so I have the time to get in at least one post before he wakes up. I'm working on being more present with him, practicing more patience with him. He has a lot of learning and unlearning to do. He needs me and I need him. Single parenting is no joke. Taking it one day at a time...

Note

was scrolling through your blog (love it by the way) and In terms of which member is the most popular, I think in America and lots of Western countries, it's undoubtedly Jungkook and Jimin (with Jungkook being much more popular after the World Cup and Seven, like at this point people would have to be delusional to deny it lol) But I think when people talk about how V is super popular too, it's because he's arguably the more popular one in many/most Middle eastern and Asian countries (and the asian music industry is HUGE. Not as big as America but still very big).

Sorry, it's not that serious but seeing lots of people underestimate V's popularity and be surprised kind of makes me go like ??? because while no one (at least no one with brains) expected V to pull the kind of numbers that Seven did, especially not in the US, V's popularity in Asian countries isn't new at all.

Layover's success (so far) was possible because of V's global popularity, with Asian countries putting in the majority of his streams and sales.

it just kind of feels like when people talk about the general public what they really mean is "Americans" or "Western people" because it's usually expected that whatever is popular in America has to be popular everywhere else, and while that's sometimes the case, it's not a sure thing. Idk if I'm making sense, but it was honestly a shock for me to find out people were shocked by V's results lol.

Him having the most IG followers isn't the only indication that he has a lot of popularity, mainly in Asia.

I mean the records and number she's pulling Korea, China, Japan, The Philippines, Vietnam, etc... are kind go crazy and really cool!

They're all so popular and maknae line are on an insane level but for a while there, it kind of felt like the fandom as a whole underestimated V, and weren't seeing him as popular/successful as jikook and tbh I don't really understand when that shift took place. It's been really weird on twitter lately.

Sorry to rant in your inbox. I was just surprised to learn that you were surprised by V's numbers. Been following you for a while!

I've been Army for 4 years but I think I only joined Twitter (for BTS alone) last year. So, despite being Army, there was a lot I didn't know, and still don't know, about the fandom. Since V's probably my least biased member it's easy for me to underestimate his popularity. I knew he was first or second to Jungkook in that area, but, to me, it didn't seem like he was making as much noise with Layover as Jimin with Face. But, like, aside from his massive popularity, Layover has 4 versions and Armys knew the album itself was their only chance at breaking records as Slow Dancing is not a great song for charting.

From my understanding, after Dreamers, Jungkook became the most popular member in Africa and in the Middle East? And he's arguably as popular as V in a lot of other Asian countries. He was all over Asian stores with CK. It's true that the "general public" is often Western countries, particularly the US and in Europe, but Seven dethroned OMG on Spotify Korea and charted really well on Billboard Japan.

Like I said, though, I don't know the fandom that well still, especially the Asian fandom who I think might not use Twitter as much as other platforms? I think underestimating V's popularity comes from that. If you're not that interested in someone you might not understand why everyone else is. V being the second or most popular member never fully made sense - I see it a lot of times, yet I don't? - which makes it hard to understand the scope of his popularity... Like, I just don't keep track of all of his accomplishments, and pretty much everyone I follow on Twitter are Jikook stans, Ot7 update/translation accounts, "daily" whatever accounts (Jungkook, Jikook, Jin, Jinkook, etc.), so I don't follow any V biased Armys as far as I know.

Thanks for the ask!

🌈 'sup. i'm aria. unovan transfer student in paldea's uva academy, hobbyist breeder/trainer, and your local catperson ( in both ways ).

🧶 i don't really do much other than just kinda exploring, catching pokemon, n' doing classes. i did complete the paldea dex that one time and maybe stopped a few threats and i may or may not be a supplier of a good few of the various professor's starter pokemon but yknoooow. typical stuff compared to things othr ppl r doin

🌻 my """ace""" ( in many quotes bc i never have consistent teams ) is a meowscarada the head of uva gifted me who i named forsythia. he's showy and loves doing tricks for ppl so i sometimes have him outside of his ball so he can show off. if ur ever in paldea and see a meowscarada in mesagoza chances are it might be mine lol

🔴 you can battle me if u want ig but i dont battle suuuuper duper competitively. like yea i know what evs and ivs are and i try to maximize my favorite pokemons ones since thats rlly cheap nowadays ( bottlecaps used to be sm more expensive ) but other than that i dont do much else

🖌️i also like uh, drawing and writing and stuff like that a lot but i only rlly post abt that stuff online lol. i've wanted to be a musician but learning stuff other than singing is hard, and same w/ game dev stuff. codings hard. but i also play games ofc ofc. i love splatoon 3 n im good at my ursaco shifts >:3c

idk what else 2 put here. uhh. have fun

______

OOC:

hiiii this is a pokemon irl blog :3

anyone can interact. pokemon, pokepasta, rp blogs, non-pokemon related blogs, whoever tf!!! the excuse is just "alt timelines/dimensions" etc for crossover stuff or different pokemon rpers/irl blogs who have diff rules

RULES | ABOUT ARIA ( IC ) | ABOUT ARIA ( OOC )

🌀 the character being played is aria! a 19 year old pokemon trainer ( who is also uh. a catperson. ) enrolled in naranja-uva academy ( specifically uva ) and just sort of exploring the world to find themselves and all. they/he pronouns. if you want more go here.

the character is an AU of my persona based on my playthrough of pokemon violet specifically but is also just generally based on my experience with pokemon - except mixed with if it was in real life. they aren't 100% me bc that'd probably make things weird, but they are mostly made up of my segments and parts hence. them being a sona.

⚠️ most of the way this blog goes abt the whole pokemon irl and related stuff doesn't follow any super specific rules or anything. of course, it follows most of the groundwork of that and stuff, but its a little mixed with canon pokemon a little more so it might be a little more outlandish as opposed to the more grounded ( quote unquote ) nature of most pkmn irl blogs. it's still mostly grounded, just like, everso slightly more akin to the pokemon games for a little more wiggleroom. also whatever the natural catboyism is about. it is not explained nor will be probably.

⚡ "yes and"-ing / improv is very important for any pkmn irl blog but if anything doesn't follow Your blogs canon the explanation is probably just "timeline bullshit" or "don't think abt it too hard" with some specific things ( the fact aria is a catboy just, like, naturally ). u can point these out but aria will just be like "lol? that's always how its been"

🔔 follow me if u r interested... i will post now and again. I do not know how to make good info/first posts.

____

❤️ ooc, i am a young adult and use he/they pronouns.

🐈 i am. also named aria. aria's a self-insert/sona but at the same time not really. it's complicated, but there's enough levels of separation where things won't be weird i prommy.

🐱 idrc who interacts, but do note i'm fine with suggestive jokes but they'll be tagged like that and not taken further than just jokes + i probably won't make them that often? just if smth asks me smth like that or if i see an Opportunity for a joke.

✨ magic anons are allowed but i have the right to refuse them.

📧 asks are allowed and so are interactions, ofc ofc

⚠️ i likely won't tag unreality / high stakes pokereality unless any post feels particularly hard to distinguish, so heres your warning; this blog contains unreality since these blogs r for acting as if pokemon are real!

⛔ of course as always bigots, terfs, prosh/ppers, etc DNI ⛔

anyways have fun!

#pkmn irl #pokemon irl #rotumblr #pokemon rp #pkmn rp #oc rp #about post #info post #unreality #ooc #idk how to tag these.#real pokemon #pokeblogging

Audio

04/14/2023 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube playlist. What Now is my 39th official release and is a 6-track EP. You should be able to buy a CD of this from Amazon for around $5. This EP is about the rap game and my opinion on artists in the industry. I’m going to talk about each track in order and then list the lyrics in order below. All the tracks were self-recorded but mixed and mastered by KeyAno. The beats are all by Kylo got beats and the cover art is from Gigzlogo from Fiverr. I spent under $100 on this entire project.

You can see me talk about this blog post from last Sunday Update here:

youtube

Paliperidone

I wanted to make the first two track on this EP positive and about spreading love. I have learned and made more money just by following and listening to LaRussell. I just wanna say content is not king, or at least doesn’t help you grow on social media. I release once a week and do a word of the day rhyme every day and I’ve seen little growth. I basically feel like no one cares.

That’s probably just where I live though. I recently received my first large royalty payment from ASCAP. Before that I was making little to no money and was basically doing all this for no money/return. I make the majority of my money from outside the United States. I have yet to break even and am still a long way away. The second verse is in reference to Lupe Fiasco’s “Drill music in Zion” which is also referenced in other songs like the last verse of “Had Enough.”

Square dance

The premise of this song is based on Eminem’s song “Square Dance.” Throughout this entire EP if I mention them I basically bite their lyrics/style a little, less with the people I dislike. This is a track to provoke a response and show some love to underground rappers that I like. Like I say, it’s all love in this track.

Patrick CC is a YouTuber and rap executive producer that has a couple main channels that do well. He makes a lot of hiphop music related content that I always enjoy and watch. Crackhouse recordings is now closed, I think their lease ran out in the building they were in and they haven’t reopened yet. Contact Cracka Lack and tell him you want the studio back! TheyCallMeHeat (pictured below) is my favorite producer at crack house and he’s made me a bunch of beats for my songs. They had a TV at the studio, so you could technically have watched Patrick cc while you record your hiphop song.

I get the majority of my beats from Tantu. Sam peters is my producer at La Luna recording studio in Kalamazoo Michigan. And KeyAno has become my main producer who I also buy a lot of beats from. Headband Henny is a burgeoning artist in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that I found on Instagram and have had the pleasure to meet. I have a song feature Henny in the works. He is part of the Kalamazoo artist collective Caged Lotus. Cody Redd is a female artist I know from TikTok, and I like her music.

First of all, I hope I said Kharii’s name right. She seems to be “finding herself” on vacation. I hope she doesn’t quit music. I’m hoping to pay for a feature. The hook seems relevant in this circumstance. It’s times like these I think it’s Gaia‘a influence guiding me. But I really wrote this because of something similar to what Cracka Lack said in his ig story one day, which was “10 months later 95% of artists aren’t still making music.” I just wanted to encourage the artists in this song to continue. I’m a fan of Ekoh’s heart hop and Gibson is a local artist to Michigan that I’ve met and like.

Rap intelligence

I love Ged GaTa. This song is an act directed at actors. I figure if anyone could understand my approach I’d be Price and Glover. I intentionally directed fake outrage at them for a couple reasons. They’re actors, I like them, they’re really talented, they seem like gentleman, and seems they’d probably understand, see through the temperament, and might actually create a worthy response.

WTF bruh

Unlike “Rap Intelligence” which is just an act, I can’t stand Tom McDonald. I can’t tell if he believes all the bullshit he spews and is duped by Fox News and the republicans or if he is just pandering to radicals because it’s a an easy market to sell-to because he’s definitely pandering to ignorance and white supremacy with his work. I basically feel the same way as Anthony fantano.

youtube

The lyrics about Samson being divisive comes from a YouTube video response I made about one of Samsons videos (as seen above). I put Samson into the same category as Tom but I could see how Samson is just an idiot and actually thinks Joe is to blame for high gas prices or that guns would protect schools. Unlike Tom who does it for clout, I think Samson might actually be noble but just wrong in his pursuits.

Calhoun is clearly a white supremist by proxy and disposition. He believes Fox News and the republicans. What makes it worse is his ego and toxic hyper masculinity. He’s the kind of person that thinks violence solves problems and guns protect people. Calhoun also thinks he’s morally and intellectually superior. Basically he’s wrong, doesn’t care he’s ignorant, and is aggressive about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was beaten as a child.

I intentionally try not and look into these characters. I don’t want to give them more attention. They deserve to be ignored and laughed at if encountered. I listened to their music enough to know it’s poppycock and to formulate an opinion but it’s not like I know thier life story, or care. I think the world would be a better place if they quit, but they’re too narcissistic for that, so I might as well leverage their stupidity to make fun of them in my own music.

Tom is an idiot’s savant, and a idiot savant. I can see why stupid people like his music. He seems to be mad at the system but the arguments he makes don’t make sense and/or are just mostly republicans taking points with no real validity. So he seems really smart to the ignorant and duped.

I talk about this in my American inequality post you can find at FarmingHumans.com or by watching this playlist, but in short, corporate CEO’s rule America. They create and sponsor congressional appointments through lobby money they get from their corporation. Don’t take my word for it, read the leading researchers book in America, called “Who Rules America“ by William G Domhoff. In addition, I will say, in short, all the problems we are seeing with anti lgbtq, banning books, opposition to global warming initiatives, and mass shootings are all coming from the groups alliance defending freedom (ADF) and council for national policy (CNP) who are a Christian fascist extremist hate group that is lobbying the government and winning to turn America into a Christofacist theocracy.

To their followers, Calhoun, Samson, and Tom are the new Christian rap holy Trinity where you have to be an idiot and or Christian to like their music and think it’s actually good. Christians are turning Jesus into a nazi here in America. I would personally like to see real Christians stand up to this nonsense, but if they did that and thought for themselves, they probably wouldn’t be Christian

So Far off

Unlike the last song which is aimed at people I think are intentionally destroying America, I think Chris is just ignorant. I think Webby means well and is a nice guy but he’s literally illiterate when it comes to understanding the facts. What’s worse is he pushes and promotes that stupidity upon the just as ignorant and influential public.

youtube

I did a break down of Lupe and Webby’s call about the vaccine (above). Webby is clearly having an emotional reaction. He feels attacked in the call but it’s really because he doesn’t have any answers to the vital questions Lupe has in understanding the importance of the vaccine. Webby’s also clearly using conservatives taking points.

Look Webby is entitled to his opinion, but it’s wrong and he’s profiting off demeaning public health and medical professionals so I didn’t really hold back on him. Like I say in the song, he’s perfectly free to be an idiot. I’m not saying I agree with all the lock down measures. Stupid People should be free to kill themselves but the vaccine is safe and effective and he talks about it like he actually understands words.

I’m not gay, but I’d fake sucking a dick for clout to make a homophobe uncomfortable and regret his decisions. To be clear, I DO NOT condone violence period or against Congress members. What I’m talking about in the song would have to be self-inflicted. I do however think certain Congress persons self inflicted demise, whether physically or politically/influentially would make America and the world a better place.

Had enough

I miss Immortal Technique. Immortal’s presentation is a conspiracy but it’s still more accurate then the idiots addressed in “WTF Bruh.” I have no real problem with the island boys. I’m basically piling on and misdirecting my anger at the songs subject of mass shootings onto them for attention and clout. The last two disses were justified, this one isn’t.

I hope the island boys get their money and have a good life. Don’t get me wrong, they’re clowns, but that doesn’t mean I wish them any ill will. I did say “my bad.” But they could graduate to clowns that are wrong and helping to dismantle democracy and public health like Tom or Chris (respectively) and then I would mean it. I’m normally a really nice guy, but I’m not nice to those who are oppressive and discriminatory. I want people to know I can be a huge dick for the right cause, and rap encourages ego, bravado, confrontation, and competition.

Lyrics:

Paliparadone

Yeah, yeah, yeah Paliparadone up in my blood Just so I can show you love Get you some, help you up Cuz the dream is gonna come Paliparadone up in my blood Just so I can show you love Get you some, help you up Cuz the dream is gonna come

Just giving you ideas About how to spread some cheer Know yourself, control fear Earn respect from your peers Tell them what you learned from the struggle Play it cool, make the drum roll Tell the truth and they’ll love ya Is what I learned from La Russell (salute) I’m a grad, I’m grinding Get the bag, tame the violence Take reason, insight it Be real and define it Take the star and align them In your mind to alignments That seek to assign them To the continuum time shift It don’t matter how good your pen is It’s all about marketing, and how you present it Don’t like that statement, prove me wrong I 30 sum songs in my catalog They want it polished, packaged And available for free But get paid 50 cents for a hundred stream And then they wonder why I can’t afford to eat So Buy the track if you want to support me (please) 10s, 20s, 50s, 100s Add it all up is what I pay for production Per track and I ain’t fronting I put in the work but don’t make no money The proof is in the pudding, and I don’t make shit I put in the work, but no one shares what I give I’m thankful for everyone who listens to this But can’t wait for the day people actually give a shit

I’m illin don’t you know I’m killing every show I loop greats into my flow Like Lupe Fiasco I can’t stand it here… it’s the smell … You gotta learn, that’s how to take the L (think) Wait, hold up, I’m getting signals from the source (what) Gaia’s force of magnetic recourse My retina in need Of something beautiful to see The meta message in between Are such precious things I don’t drink, unless it’s just a beer And unless it’s weed, I don’t inhale You can’t suceed, unless you fail Rewrite the story and here’s the tale Rappers die to much It’s just designed to crush Another life from drugs Why can’t we find the love Rappers die to much It’s just designed to crush Another life from guns Why can’t we find the love

Paliparadone up in my blood Just so I can show you love Get you some, help you up Cuz the dream is gonna come Just giving you ideas About how to spread some cheer Know yourself, control fear Earn respect from your peers Paliparadone up in my blood Just so I can show you love Get you some, help you up Cuz the dream is gonna come Just giving you ideas About how to spread some cheer Know yourself, control fear Earn respect from your peers

Square dance

It’s all cool, it’s all fun I just wanna get you sum Shine the light and get some sun Its all good, it’s all love This that underground doe-see-doe How you gonna do me yo Whip me up a flurry, cold Music that is lyrical Don’t just stay By the wall or leave As Eminem would say Square dance with me

Like magic and card shops I love that heart hop I’m just a vessel Can you hear that Ekoh I take lyrics, develop them Change what they represent Interpolate the meta gist So they sound irreverent Imma get on top and make sure all y’all eat Make them all wanna spot, and salute to the king So when you see me, just know it’s all gravy Hold me down, say hey, and maybe thank me With a feature swap, play my chips with gwap Thermally I’ll leave you shocked Cuz verses are cold (brrr) but hooks are hot (ah) And I might put you on the spot It’s all cool, it’s all fun I just wanna get you sum Shine the light and get some sun

Its all good, it’s all love This that underground doe-see-doe How you gonna do me yo Whip me up a flurry, cold Music that is lyrical Don’t just stay By The wall or leave As Eminem would say Square dance with me

You don’t need a big name For me to respond to what you’re sayin Just make good music, that makes me think while I’m pacing Never give up, do it for your health Put in the work, accumulate your wealth Been learning social psychology and taking steps To find inside that I’ve been looking for myself Thanks Gibson I want Justice, not a deal For cats to keep it real Rap it to heal Instead of acting out of fear Got a premium cadence Soon they’ll be saying I’m on that, I’m on that, I’m on that, yo what now

Rap Intelligence

Like Russ teach me your ways Put me on game Don’t leave me to dig my own grave I don’t make excuses I focus on the tool kit Creating a rubric And making that new shit Think you’re hot when you rock Yo you better check-up What you got, peep the ops Yo you better check-up I’m grinding every day getting educated daily And gettin every dollar cuz gata taught me plainly Think you’re hot when you rock Yo you better check-up What you got, peep the ops Yo you better check-up I’m grinding every day getting educated daily And gettin every dollar cuz gata taught me plainly

Just to get my numbers up I’mma call your number up Tell you what you're on is dumb If you don’t do it for love That love-hate relationship That bravery and indignant tip Redirected from indigenous On to rap intelligence Just to get my numbers up I’mma call your number up Tell you what you're on is dumb If you don’t do it for love That love-hate relationship That bravery and indignant tip Redirected from indigenous On to rap intelligence

Lookie there a don But I bet these pussies won’t respond They don’t know how to compliment while pissing me off So I Watch the world spinnin listenin to Conner Price Clean cut, release sus, I wanna see him bite It’s like hearing Steve Martin rap, rant and gripe So prim and proper I bet he actually tries To be a better person, someone you could learn from Derive purpose from his verses as a wordsmith Am I supposed be smitten? From his egregious penmanship Chizzled jawline And meticulous sentences (well I am) His beautiful family I bet he’s kind and understanding What an ass, to make the rest of us look pandering

Price is like Donald Glover A good father and husband The kind of man whose duck I’d suck If it meant saving kids in America from guns Come on Donald, what if it was like Atalanta In the back of the van and Darius put hands on ya Saying if we learned to love and be real with ourselves We could build a new society where our people could excel And construct a reflection in the stories that we tell Naw, better stick to beefing I’d rather see you six feet deep and grieving Cuz that’s the culture America is repeating Welcome to America, we hope you don’t see it That the runaway slave patrol is now the police But instead, deny history and claim woke is a disease The schools are closed Prisons are open Ever since MAGA has come into focus

WTF Bruh

Look, I can’t really let this shit fly, so I’m your calm sedate academic type I don’t want to throw down and have a fight I wanna use my words to show I’m right And laugh at how you frivolously try To get it right, make it tight And ingratiate the melody So you’re wrong and offbeat Is what you’re telling me You’d rather kill me cuz your inferiority Is culminating obsessively and cultivating jealousy (Oh My God) Tom McDonald it’s a shock rapper He makes fun of the system, politicians, and actors He only has so long to live before the Illuminati caps him Is what idiots say and hip-hop moves backwards That song propaganda with Dax was terrible You played to the most ignorant and vulnerable Tom thinks elections aren’t done fairly He’s above indoctrination and thinks journalism’s scary

What the fuck brah You’re not the truth dawg You make it worse y’all Support what’s gone wrong Don’t make things worse I wish you’d actually learn Heal what is hurt And give what you earn

You're not on my level g I have my integrity I’m a whole other pedigree And rap it pedagogically Like self-interested CEOs rule They want you to think it’s a conspiracy So you won’t act legitimate Just vote your interests please What will it take you to see Republicans are terrorist Who causes most of terrorism In America is extremist right They solve their problems with violence Because they’ve been taught it as a child They’ve been beaten, so repeat the cycle Rappers blaming Joe for high gas prices Should really analyze the word divisive Cuz they paint a false narrative about devices Like OPEC that colludes on the size of it We are now stupider for MacDonald and Samson Will someone please teach them common sense manners They’ve been acting real funny since we turned on the cameras I think they’re acting like this for the attention of radicals

What the fuck brah You’re not the truth dawg You make it worse y’all Support what’s gone wrong Don’t make things worse I wish you’d actually learn Heal what is hurt And give what you earn

Take Calhoun, Samson, and Tom McDonald And tell me, what do they all have in common? They’re perfectly free to say what they want in a song Which means they’re also free to be totally wrong They say what they want, and don’t make sense Get it all wrong, and wonder why we’re pissed Imagine that, idiots can rap I should say uneducated but it’s really something bad If you’re not talking about laws and how money controls things You’re not talking about the way things are functioning You have to know you’re a distraction A public detractor, that really not a factor All you are is a rapper Live long and prosper Find some love to foster Build a lot of wealth And actually educate yourself Cuz

What the fuck brah You’re not the truth dawg You make it worse y’all Support what’s gone wrong Don’t make things worse I wish you’d actually learn Heal what is hurt And give what you earn

So Far Off

Maybe it’s time for these rappers To get a dose of their own medicine Ayo, check it What, who want it, I’ll put 50 on ya Just to serve you up from civics from ancient Sparta Gorillas by night, instead of armies by day That’s how you blot out the sun, I guess we’ll fight in shade Since Russ put me on game I’ve branded my name Packaged my brain And sold it for change Come on dawg, I don’t get paid I do it for the love, to involve and create Before you come at me, attack the system Don’t shoot the messenger here to help the mission Differentiate the layers Hate the game not player, Don’t want vindictive haters Or victim blamers I’m coming, they ain’t ready To the top is where I’m heading To develop a better version When compared to Chris Webby If you’re a humble giant, I’m an irate leviathan Make a logical argument Not how you feel about all of it

Your raw thoughts Are so far off We all feel lost And at a loss You think you’ll get capped But with you bro their glad You’re here to distract And riddle the facts

I’ll have political gaff And the critical task That relates to the bag And science tested in labs We’re like white American dads That are high on that gas But I’ll be chilling and laugh While you’re triggered on Zans You should definitely really stop talking but the vax Cuz you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to facts You don’t know basic terms or how to interpret the math You just listen to Rand Paul who condemns Fauci for cash You’re perfectly free, to be fucking idiot And from the looks of it You really fucking nailed it kid You can’t talk to Lupe without getting triggered You don’t understand words let alone the bigger picture (Which is why)

Your raw thoughts Are so far off We all feel lost And at a loss You think you’ll get capped But with you bro their glad You’re here to distract And riddle the facts

I’ll give birth to your fears like a vagina involved And slap you after busting a fucking nut in my palm Oh webby let me suck your dick till I choke Til you admit that you’re wrong and that you sound like a joke Be careful what you wish for, cuz you’re sexy and hot You make me wanna scrape and bite while giving you top You sick fuck, you like it rough and when I shit on your chest You like when dominatrix take away your respect You’re shitty, disgusting, putrid, nothing You should find the end on a bridge by jumping Pop more pills til your life dull and fuzzy You know what’s overrated? motor functioning If I’m not getting you off, than I don’t wanna get on If your not triggered at all, then I’m spitting it wrong Republicans are the reason the country is shit So with the political rap I’ll show you how to do this Marjorie Taylor Green, fuck yourself with a bat Lauren Bobert shove a cherry bomb up your ass Ted Cruz and Matt gates are secret fags With Trump, please kill yourself or we’ll be sad Rand Paul you’re a monster, Fauci is a hero damn How much money have you made from condemning the man They need to put a bulls nose ring on Mitch McConnell’s neck And steer him clear of lobbyists’ checks Fuck what am I saying, that’s all of Congress And nothing’s gonna change until we get money out of politics So brother help me fight and change the mechanisms To give power to the people and not seek to leverage them

Had Enough

I just wanna salute to Immortal Technique I wish it wasn’t a conspiracy, but it’s ill, preach It’s a rich man’s world, and the purposes they seek Their self-interests align to the same degree A CEO fraternity The CFR logistically You heard of the absurdity Like knights of old, I’ll murder the Thought that I won’t fervently Fix it like a surgery Precisely, lift the burden leave The evil for prosperity

It’s like we’re numb to the carnage and just watch them bleed Don’t ever say I didn’t try to help you see I’ll go to the school in your nearest town Go outside and hang the flag upside down Cuz every day there’s a shooting What the fuck are we doing Had enough, come on y’all Learn “How to Love” like Tunechi Cuz every day there’s a shooting What the fuck are we doing Had enough, come on y’all Learn “How to Love” like Tunechi

What bitch ass mafucka sucka Mcee Is gonna tell me, I got what you need When it’s clear he agreed to corporate greed Check yourself before you wreck yourself Gee Couldn’t give a fuck, go and taunt, make a show of it Cuz when I make Um turn on you the reasons will be copious You’re not for the culture You don’t represent the community The only reason it makes sense to you is because you’re assuming things You better sound dope, cuz your points are wrong Wait, I mean we have a Republican star It’s like half of America, where do I start I’m surrounded by idiots and feel like Scar Like The Island Boys who need a job Huh, come on dawg No hypothetical taunt You made me drop my croissant That’s you, you’re a meme Where’s your pathetic response Cuz I’m just a mitten boy, just tryna make it That’s how your flow sounds on, not acappella and off basis You’re the poster child for what it’s like to make it When you’re famous talentless and baseless You little bitch, put me on blast on MTV Oh wait it’s not Cameo, my bad, hee hee Red and blue may make violet But on flag with stars they stand for violence

I know it’s hip-hop, so we all tote big guns Move that product and make dope puns But tell me about the culture of guns How it relates to violence, and what it does To kids and teens in school and halls Or a simple kiosk in the middle of the mall It’s not your fault, you’re just the culprit Because how you conducted your thoughts around the substance It’s bigger than black and white It’s a problem with the way of life We should love one another Don’t give up on me brother

You should write some raps About the rights we should have If we try, we can How bought that You should write some raps About the rights we should have If we try, we can How bought that You should write some raps About the rights we should have If we try, we can How bought that

Okay I LOVE that head canon! Post-orgasm nap Mickey would definitely still be horny if he woke up to Ian being a tough guy. He might even think it's a dream ... Thank you for joining our fun Anna (:

Now that I think about it, Mickey feels like a technophobe. Like, there's no way that guy could even figure out Instagram. But Ian probably has it so, Liam helped him download it and he's only following Ian and commenting inappropriate shit on a picture of Ian's tomatoes because he doesn't give a shit if everyone can see his comments! Ian still uses Facebook because he's in all the Gardening Tips Facebook groups.

However, I'm still a slut for a good Tumblr AU and will always be a slut for a good Tumblr AU (I wonder if there's an Instagram AU)

OKay here's a thought - What do you think Mickey discovers that he actually enjoys from Ian's west side activities? Does he enjoy yoga or Pilates ? Ian liked him flexible Does he learn how to swim and actually does it on his own? They have to cook now, is Mick any good? New friends??

And also, do they get tattoos together ? (I bet Mick wants the boobs covered up, Ian forgets they're there, but Mickey makes a face every time he looks at the tattoo)

As always, you are a treasure (:

-anon xx

hello xx anon! 🥳

you sneaky sneaky anon, i've seen you popping into other people's inboxes... spreading the headcanon love... you gonna make that question blog that @ianandmickeygallavich suggested? lol ANYWAY I HOPE YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING A NICE DAY! 🥰

first of all, i am such a slut for a good tumblr au. i'm sure you know all about @/hornygaythug by @whatthebodygraspsnot & YQHBR by @celestialmickey? so so good, so so different lol. also you know i'm hot for tumblr!mickey--he made me develop a whole glove kink during the spicy collab last year! LOL.

instagram au's... there's this one by @jackieq where ian's an ig influencer! but that's the only fic i can think of off the top of my head.

now for your new questions: this got embarrassingly long, so it's under a cut! xx

oh the westside...

i'd personally like to think that they move back to the southside later. buy a nice little house and host the niblings on the weekends... but maybe mickey could get down with the pool & grill life while he's on the westside? he loves a cold beer & a hawaiian shirt, so why not? i could see mickey getting comfortable in the pool enough to float on his back? turn his brain off a bit? but i don't see him being a big swimmer or even liking too much chaos while he's in the water. he'll gladly throw a child in though!

do i think mickey would enjoy yoga or pilates? hell no. the only workout that man needs is kev-fit & fucking. but ian could probably talk him into going anyway. especially after he loosens up a bit & feels how much further ian can bend him in half.

i do think that they likely make friends, some guys who are more their speed or even some chicks that live in the building & give mickey a hard time in a way that he likes. oooohmygosh now i want them to get lesbian friends LOL. someone write the fic! & yeah, i think they both get pretty handy in the kitchen, especially after ian starts growing vegetables. it's a fun way to be together & they both start to enjoy food in a way that they never could before. plus, i don't think mickey wants to be embarrassed in public, like if he doesn't know what something is or doesn't like something, so he feels more comfortable experimenting at home.

tattooooos!

i do think that ian would do something to commemorate mickey on his body, a la ian galager. but they're definitely not going to be rocking matching tattoos or any fairy shit like that. i could also see them getting their wedding bands tattooed, but they're both so sensory, they probably love the feel of wearing it... of cool metal on their skin... feeling each others on their bodies... yeah....

as far as the tits... eh, i think mickey probably doesn't give a shit. they're just there. s'not like he has to look at them that often. maybe ian covers them up one day with a real tribute piece? but i'd like to think it becomes kind of funny. like, i could totally see mickey being like, "this f-slur's got a pair of tits on his back" during a drinking game at a party. but i also think because they're unfortunately attached to monica, he's probably pretty careful about it?

as always, these were spectacular questions! thank you for blessing me with them 🖤🖤🖤🖤

To the most amazing and adorable merKitty in the world 💙💙💙 I love you, @unbeknownstunknown! Happy birthday my dearest 💙💙💙 You deserve the most amazing birthday, week, month, year, and life 💙💙💙

They had been talking for a long time, they were friends, friends who flirted with each other all the time. It started with a small vent post, a post Percy didn't even think somebody would see. Since the Hephaestus cabin worked together with the Hekate and the Athena kids and worked on a cellphone even demigods could use without being a monster snack, he tended to use it all the time. He was on other social media sites, but his Tumblr blog was his favorite because of the anonymity. He had some followers, even some mutuals, but their interactions were pretty chill, no comments, only likes, not like his IG account, where if he put up one picture, both camps immediately flooded it with comments, compliments, and critiques. Most of the time he shared funny marine biology facts (and memes), or shit posts about various pantheons, but sometimes he needed to vent.

seastar-71

I'm always full of rage, I'm afraid of becoming my father…

He wrote it after waking up from another nightmare about Tartarus, about how he almost killed a goddess just with his powers. Thinking about all the myths about his father, and the rage of the sea, he was terrified of becoming uncaring of others' suffering, only thinking about his own emotions. He never wanted to be like like him.

He already felt better after writing it down, and never really expected somebody to read it and resonate with it.

eyeofthefalcon replied to your post

Knowing what you don't want to be, makes you already better than your father

The username wasn’t familiar, so he clicked on the name, just to meet with Egyptian hieroglyphs, fun facts, trash talks, and complaints about "S", from 'K19 / minor / he/they / Lakers fan / magicians DNI'.

That was their first interaction.

After that, it became a daily thing, talking about everything and nothing, wishing each other good morning and sweet dreams, supporting each other, and trash-talking about things and people that made their lives difficult.

Sometimes they told each other deep secrets,

"Sometimes I want to leave everything behind. I want to leave, I want to move to Alaska, and fuck everybody else."

Sometimes it was little things,

"I suck at basketball. I'm good at martial arts, but basketball? Forget it."

Days turned weeks, weeks turned months, and their tentative friendship turned into something more. Percy learned lots of information about K, like he was 16, he had a sister, he was deathly afraid of scorpions, and he loved pineapple on pizza.

Percy tried to deny it at first, but after months of talking, he couldn’t help but be frustrated with himself and with the situation. Re-reading the text messages, he flopped down onto his bed, sighing. No matter how much they flirted on Tumblr, he was pretty convinced that K wasn’t really interested in him. On one hand, every time Percy said something more suggestive to him, K backed out, playing it off as a joke. On the other, they were just so cute and attentive, Percy felt like he could melt when he saw some of K’s asks. It was maddening.

Every time there was a lull in their conversations, maybe because Percy had to go on a quest, or because K was away on a family thing, Percy felt… afloat. Like he was missing a piece of him. Like he was…

Like he had fallen in love with a golden hand pfp and the beautiful person behind it. Like he had fallen in love with somebody he knew nothing about, yet knew more about them than anybody else. Like he had fallen in love.

It was a harsh pill to swallow.

eyeofthefalcon

Dude!

I’m finally home!

seastar-71

was starting to think somebody kidnapped u

eyeofthefalcon

Don't you worry, don’t you worry child~

Nobody could stop me from sending you the quality content you would never see otherwise!

eyeofthefalcon sent you a post

seastar-71

in your dreams

u mean quality content (derogatory)

Percy opened the post K sent, and… well. Didn't know how to react.

Did he… did he want to tell him something? Was it a step forward? Or was it just a normal post he thought Percy would like? It wasn’t uncommon that they sent Percy some bi content that the son of Poseidon adored and reblogged, but usually, they were less about being intimate, and more about puns and experiences. Biting into his lips, Percy went back to their conversation.

eyeofthefalcon

You wish you knew my dreams, Starfish!

[insert subtle wink wink meme here]

Percy stared at the words, a pink blush creeping up on his face. K… K really was flirting with him, but he had to make sure. He had to know if he was going to have a boyfriend out of K or not.

seastar-71

u flirting with me?

eyeofthefalcon

Thanks for noticing

I was starting to think you might never notice, you oblivious idiot (loving)

Percy gasped, pouting at the screen. That was so not true! K never flirted with him, not without turning it into something humorous!

seastar-71

#unfollowed /j

not even bfs yet and you bully me

eyeofthefalcon

'Yet'?

seastar-71

ofc you'd only see that

#divorcing you /j

eyeofthefalcon

Rude!

You know you love me

seastar-71

who knows?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

eyeofthefalcon

RUDE!

I take it back /j

eyeofthefalcon sent you a post

Percy opened it, rolling his eyes, but grinning from ear to ear. K was such a dork - he adored them.

You are lucky you're cute 💙

seastar-71

😍🥰

Percy stared at the screen, waiting for another message, but as the minutes ticked by, nothing came. He sighed dejectedly; maybe another 'family stuff' interrupted K. He went back to his notifs to see if anybody reblogged something from him because he loved to see the tags others used for his stuff, just to see-

eyeofthefalcon sent you an ask

He clicked on the answer button, and as he watched the words loading in, he felt his face heating up. It was nothing like he expected - it was even better.

Will you go to Tumblr prom with me? 🌹🌹🌹

seastar-71 answered

🥺 I thought you'd never ask. I would love to! 🥰

He went back to their conversation, excited and terrified, and he sighed to brace himself. Before he would overthink it, there was only one thing he had to make sure of.

seastar-71

is this a date?

eyeofthefalcon

It's a date 💙 If you want to. If not, it is a date between two friends.

Percy stared at the screen, deadpanning, then he made sure K knew exactly how much Percy wanted it to be a romantic date between two boyfriends.

When the day of their Tumblr prom date arrived, Percy was a nervous wreck. He wanted to stay anonymous, he didn't want to share his face online, yet he wanted to show himself to his boyfriend. He wanted to trust in K. He prepared a picrew pic of himself that he could share online as others were doing, but he dressed up as well, to take a photo of himself that he could send to K. It was nerve-wracking, but also euphoric.

eyeofthefalcon

Happy Tumblr Prom to my amazing boyfriend! Shall we go?

#tumblr prom #i love my boyfriend #starfish is my star

Percy was feeling like every time he was interacting with K, he could do nothing but blush. He felt like a middle school kid crushing on somebody for the first time, but… K was amazing, and Percy liked him very much. Seeing his boyfriend, even if it was just a picrew, presumably vastly different from how K looked, made him feel dizzy and so, so smitten. His boyfriend was just so cute. Also, a total badass with a weapon in their hand, and Percy had to force himself not to picture fighting with K, getting all sweaty, hot, and bothered-

He reblogged the post, with his own addition.

💙

#tumbrl prom #my boyfriend is sappy #K is the best letter

He went to the messages, and without leaving himself time to rethink what he was about to do, he sent his picture.

seastar-71

thats me

sorry for my face i had an accident

eyeofthefalcon

…

P…

Percy?

Percy Jackson?

Percy felt his heart stop. It couldn't be that K was someone he knew, could be? If all of it was just a prank… if one of the Hermes or Ares, or even Aphrodite kids-

A picture loaded, and his breath caught in his throat.

He knew K, all right. He could never forget that dark skin, those strong hands, those beautiful eyes. Carter looked different from the last time they saw each other. He didn't have earrings before, and his hair was styled differently, but Percy couldn't complain. The sight of him sent a tingling sensation up his spine, and he couldn't help but grin in delight.

K19… potassium, and water. That was a dangerous mix, for sure - luckily, Percy loved danger.

No better way to start a writing blog than by writing something completely self indulgent lmao college students this might hit too close to home but in my defense the new sem started and I'm. Mess

Gen: angst ig???some fluff? hurt/comfort? Quite literally just me writing what I want to hear

CW: insecurities, negative thoughts

Wakatoshi loves volleyball

Everyone knows this

Ever since he was little, he's lived and breathed for the sport

There's nothing better to him than the feeling of the ball hitting his hand, the adrenaline rush of a scored point, the satisfaction of a game well won

He didn't get this far on enjoyment alone though

As his s/o, you know this better than anyone, save for his coaches and teammates of course

You know the effort he's put in, you know that for every second he shines on the court in front he's spent hours practicing alone or with his teammates

And he shines on the court

Watching him play will never fail to make your heart stutter and your lungs feel like they're not getting enough air

After being with him as long as you have, you know enough about volleyball to know that Wakatoshi is something special

His speed, his strength, his reliability

No matter how many times you see that spike, the sound of the ball hitting the floor stays deafening

Wakatoshi was made to play Volleyball. It's an objective fact. Sometimes you think that the sport loves him just as much as he loves it

Sometimes, you get so jealous you could scream

one of the perks of being the volleyball captain's s/o is that you always get the best seats

You watch front row as your boyfriend leads his team to victory, and he always leads them to victory.

You watch, time and time again, as he scores the match point, that sharp wham of the ball hitting the court that sings triumph

Wakatoshi isn't the most expressive person. When his team wins a game, most people would write off his impassive face as nonchalance or as vanity, thinking maybe he's won so many times it doesn't feel like anything for him anymore

But you know him. You know that if you look hard enough at the end of a game, you can see a gleam in his eyes. A gleam that somehow means both satisfaction and hunger

Because while at the end of every game means victory, the end of every game also means the start of a new one, a new challenge, a new opportunity to be on the court. He loves every second of it

You know you're probably the worst person on the world for feeling this way about someone you love, but every time you see that gleam in his eyes, any pride and happiness you feel on his behalf is stained with resentment and an envy so bitter it stays on your tongue for days

You've never had that gleam in your eyes. You've never loved something so entirely, so completely as Wakatoshi loves volleyball

You honestly doubt you ever will

It's not like you're talentless or you don't have hobbies, you have the things you're good at and you have the things you like to do but it's not the same

You want so desperately to know what he feels like, to be doing something and to think, I could do this for the rest of my life and die happy

on your worst days, you wonder why he stays by your side at all

You watch him play, surrounded by his court and his team (no the court or the team, his.) And you wonder what he could get from you that he couldn't get from the sting of the ball on his palm, or the squeak of his shoes on hardwood

He's brilliant, wherever he goes be burns so brightly you swear he leaves scorch marks. What could a forest fire possibly want from a candle?

You watch them play a game against some college team, they win straight sets and Wakatoshi dominated the court, scoring a majority of the points. you're quiet on your way home, and he asks if you were bored by the game

You immediately tell him no, because on most days you love seeing him play, and you try and explain how you feel

He doesn't understand what you're talking about, obviously

Contrary to what most people think, your boyfriend isn't stupid or dense. He has trouble understanding different social cues and conceptualizing some of the more complicated emotions other people feel, but he's not an idiot

But these specific insecurities are something he's never had to face. For him, it's been volleyball since the start. His earliest memories are of his father in the yard, tossing a blue and yellow ball into the air while he sits on the engawa, chubby hands holding tight to a pink vabo-chan plush

It doesn't make sense to him, if you don't have anything like that, then all you need to do is find something you're good at, correct? Then you'll be happy

He tells you this, in his usual matter-of-fact way. (you can imagine how that went)

He doesn't understand why your eyes go glassy, or why you tell him you'll be fine walking by yourself for the rest of the way

But he does understand that he's made you upset, and he knows that he never wants to look into your eyes and see tears that he's put there

As he walks back to his dorm, he's wracking his brain trying to make sense of how you told him you felt, and what he said in response

He's still thinking as he enters the doorway, ignoring Tendou's greeting as he neatly removes his runners and puts them away

This, of course, alerts his redheaded friend, knowing Wakatoshi was taught to mind his manners

He leaves whatever he was doing to see him at the entrance, taking in his pinched expression. He knows that Wakatoshi walks you home after every game, and it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots

He quickly presses the pad of his thumb between Wakatoshi's furrowed eyebrows, smoothing the lines there

"trouble in paradise, Wakatoshi-kun? You can't keep frowning like that you know, you'll get wrinkles! Everyone already thinks you're an old man"

Wakatoshi trusts his best friend, even if he teases him constantly. Besides you, Tendou is his main confidant

He explains what happened much like someone would explain a mission report, in perfect unbiased detail. He tell him what you said, how he thought and responded and your reaction. Tendou is always patient with him, giving him his full attention.

After he finishes his story, his friend sits on his haunches in the middle of the hallway for a few minutes, pointer finger to his chin, head cocked and eyes to the ceiling, hmmmmmming thoughtfully

Wakatoshi waits at the entrance of their dorm room until Tendou snaps his eyes away from the ceiling and onto him

"Wakatoshi kun, I'm going to need you to imagine something for me"

His eyebrows pinch together again, but he nods

"Imagine you never played volleyball, you're exactly the same in every way, except your dad never showed you so you never learned how to play. Try and imagine who you'd be"

Wakatoshi tries his best to imagine, he replaces the blue and yellow ball in his memory with a red one, the bouncy kind they sell in bins at the grocery store. He replaces vabo-chan with some kind of stuffed animal wearing a bow

He thinks about school, about going straight home after class is over, and going to the gym only on weekends

He finds he's skipping parts of his life in large gaps, empty spaces he doesn't know what to do with, his future completely blank. It's terrifying.

Tendou must see the dawning horror on his face because he jumps up quickly with a flourish, clapping his hands together once to draw Wakatoshi out of his daydream

Tendou looks at him, smiling and says "y/n-chan doesn't have their volleyball. Most people aren't as lucky as you, finding your volleyball so early Wakatoshi-kun. Some people never find their's at all"

He stands at the entrance quietly for awhile after Tendou returns to his room, thinking about how scary it felt to imagine, even for a few minutes, his life full of the blanks that his sport filled

He wonders how it would be like to have those blanks empty all the time, with not even a clue how to complete them

Swallowing his pride, Wakatoshi realizes he wouldn't be able to live like that. Wouldn't be able to go forward into such unknowable territory, under such impossible odds

He thinks about you waking up every day, seeing your life full of blanks, and still pushing forwards despite it

He doesn't get much sleep that night.

You wake up in the morning to Wakatoshi's text ringtone

7:10am Toshi <3: Call in sick for first period.

7:10am Toshi <3: I am going to pick you up at 8.

7:13am Toshi <3: I will bring you breakfast.

7:27am Toshi <3: Wear a light jacket, it's chilly.

The half of you that's still hurt over yesterday wants to tell him to shove breakfast up his ass, but then you realise something

You stare at your phone, deeply confused

Doesn't he have volleyball practice before school?

You get ready quickly, and sure enough, when you walk out of your door at exactly 8:00, Wakatoshi is there.

He's wearing his tracksuit and runners, and he hands you a paper bag from the conbini. There's an apple, a bag of grapes and onigiri. In his other hand he's holding a warm drink, written on the lid is your favourite, exactly how you like it

"I am taking you to the park."

You tilt your head up at him, confused

"don't you have volleyball practice?"

"I'm skipping. We are going to feed the ducks."

The idea of Ushijima Wakatoshi skipping volleyball practice stuns you into silence, and you simply follow his lead to the direction of the park, you walking and him doing some sort of ridiculous exercise thing that looks like it'd make you puke

When you get there, you're happy to find that your usual bench is empty.

Wakatoshi pulls a water bottle out of his ridiculously-deep men's tracksuit pockets while you take the bunch of grapes out of the bag, neatly dividing it in half. You decide to take the big half of the grape bunch for once, because he was being a jerk yesterday and you deserve to feed the ducks more than he does. You give him his half and you both start feeding the ducks in silence

After awhile, he decides to speak

"Tendou made me imagine something yesterday"

You turn to face him, but he's still looking at the ducks

"he told me to imagine my life if I'd never played volleyball"

He frowns

"he said to imagine everything about me was the same, except I never started playing. I found that it was difficult"

"there were many things I found I couldn't fill in, both in my life and in myself"

"but the worst part was imagining the future. I couldn't imagine a single thing to put in it"

"I wouldn't be able to live like that. To live every day and see blank spaces and uncertainties. It sounds terrible"

He pauses for a moment and you're like :/ wow king thanks for the pep talk

But he takes a deep breath and he continues

"I think, for a person to face that uncertainty and keep pushing forward, they would have to be exceptional"

Your head snaps to look at him so fast you almost get whiplash

Exceptional

There's a word that you've never used to describe yourself

"I think, that if I knew someone like that, I would tell them that they are strong in a way that I doubt I will ever be"

He finally turns to look at you, and you try your best to see him through the tears distorting your vision

"after awhile of thinking, I finally thought of something that I could put in that blank future. Would you like to know what it was?"

You just nod, not trusting your words. His big hands gently engulf your own and for a moment you're absolutely certain Ushijima Wakatoshi will be the death of you

"if I didn't have Volleyball, if I didn't have a single clue of what I could do with my future, if I still had you by my side, I think I would be alright"

One hit K.O.

He keeps going though, as if he didn't just kill you

"if you would have me, I'd like to be in your blank future. For as long as it takes for you to find your volleyball, I'll be there. If it's months or years or decades,"

"if decades pass and you never find your volleyball, I would still like to stay by your side. Maybe your volleyball is looking for volleyball?"

His face contorts in consideration of the idea, and you can't help but laugh wetly, your tears soaking into his jacket as you bury your face into his arm

He presses a soft kiss to your head

"I apologize for what I said last night. I didn't understand"

You only shake your head

You two sit in companionable silence for a little longer so you can eat your breakfast, then you both walk to second period hand in hand

It's only in the boredom of your math class that you realize the gravity of what your boyfriend had said to you in the park

11:08 you: Tendou

11:08 you: was I tripping

11:08 you: or did Wakatoshi /propose/ to me in the park today

Tendou is typing......

A/N: I've never posted this kind of stuff before so comments would really be appreciated! Like if there's something I could do to make my stuff easier to read or whatever I wanna hear it! Even if it's mean I promise I'll only cry a little
