i dont do very good art but uhh uh take my ocs' guitars and basses.

if you care there's a small info under

So P&B is the abbreviation of Phoenix and The Blizzards. (from left to right) the characters listed are Phoenix (vocalist and occasionally lead guitar), Kale (lead guitar but also vocal) and Tundra (rhythmic guitar). In the bass part on the left, Janette, is the bassist to this band.

B-H is Bloody Hands, my first oc band lol! (from left to right) There's Gabby (lead or rhythm guitar, vocal) and also Sara (rhythm guitar, keyboard). Their bassist is Aoi, the middle one.

Last one is GT, Ghost Thievez. There's only one guitarist, called Blake. And their bassist is Eden, on the right. Fun fact, they're dating with the drummer. We love a band of lesbians!

I made them with more silhouette and color than actually being identical to what an irl guitar or bass looks like, just wanted a vibe, not too serious.

You know I got you

(Ross Macdonald + Teen!Daughter!r)

warnings: r throws up, Ross bein the best

A/n: I was liking to write fluff as an apology but I’m it’s actually kind of just hurt/comfort now that I think of it so….thats my b. Also this was requested in like march im so sorry um

It was supposed to be a normal show, and for the most part, it was. The boys had been onstage for a while, sounding as good as ever, their energy electric as they moved through the setlist. The crowd was alive, a sea of movement and sound. You’d normally be part of that energy too, jumping around the side of the stage with a friend, a guitar tech, or whoever happened to be there. Tonight, though, was different, and Ross noticed almost immediately.

You weren’t your usual self—your movements slower, your laughter absent. At one point, during the lull between songs, you clutched your stomach suddenly, a sharp intake of breath giving away your discomfort. You were near the front of the side walkway, in perfect view of your dad for most of the show, so there was no hiding it. While he switched out his bass, Ross’s eyes darted to you, his expression shifting from the joy of performing to a flicker of concern as he caught the subtle change in your mood and the distant look in your eyes.

From the stage, he mouthed, “You alright?” His eyebrows knit together in worry as he noticed the way you held yourself tighter, your focus clearly elsewhere, struggling to steady your breathing. You forced a quick smile, nodding too hastily in response, hoping to ease his concern. But Ross wasn’t convinced. His gaze lingered, searching your face for any sign of reassurance. When the next song started, he nodded hesitantly and turned back to the crowd, though the unease in his chest remained.

You held out as long as you could, but as the song continued, the discomfort became too much. Without a word, you slipped backstage, your only thought being to find the nearest bathroom before you lost control of yourself completely.

Onstage, Ross’s hands moved instinctively over his bass, but his mind was no longer in the music. It took everything in him not to drop his instrument and follow you, every fiber of his being screaming to check on you. His eyes darted toward Gabbriette, silently pleading for her help. He didn’t need to say a word—she was already moving, weaving her way through the side stage to chase after you. Ross watched her disappear after you, a pang of helplessness settling in his chest as he forced himself to keep playing.

When Gabbriette found you in the backstage bathroom, you were already crumpled on the floor, your arms wrapped tightly around yourself as you hunched over the toilet seat. The sound of the door opening barely registered over the ringing in your ears, but the warmth of her presence immediately filled the small, sterile space. Without hesitation, she knelt beside you, gently sweeping your hair out of your face and securing it with one hand as she used the other to rub slow, soothing circles on your back.

“Shh,” she murmured softly, her voice low and calm, an anchor in your spiraling panic. “It’s alright, you’re okay. What happened?”

You shook your head, swallowing thickly, the words caught somewhere in your tightening chest. Finally, you managed to whisper, “I don’t know. I just started feeling bad all of a sudden.”

Her hand didn’t falter, the steady motion of her palm a quiet comfort against the storm brewing inside you. “Okay, okay,” she said gently, her tone as steady as her movements. “It’s alright. The show’s almost over. Your dad will be here soon.” Her reassurance was soft but firm, grounding you even as the unease continued to ripple through your body.

Gabby kept the door propped open as she stood in between the bathroom and the hallway, trying to keep a protective eye on you while also waiting for Ross to walk down the hallways from the stage. Only a few minutes had passed, but they felt like hours. You could hear the crowd get louder and louder and eventually heard the familiar tune of the last song.

Ross, Adam, and Matty were all on the B-stage for the last song. Ross didn’t waste anytime when he played the very last notes. Immediately climbing down the side ladder before handing his bass to one of the boys, and running down the side walkway as fast as he could. Ignoring every single fan is his reach, he ran backstage, eager to find you.

Gabby called his name as soon as she saw him. “In here.”

He silently thanked her as he passed her and walked into the restroom.

You didn’t look up, too tired to move, but you knew it was him. His footsteps were familiar to you, comforting in some sense, although it did nothing to relieve the aching feeling running its course through your body.

His heart broke at the sight of you, knees curled up to your chest and body sweating almost as much as him, but you didn’t just complete a two and a half hour concert. “Oh, darling. What have we got here?” He asked gently, kneeling down to meet you.

“I don’t feel good.” You said simply 

“I know, sweetheart. I know. I’m gonna get you back to the hotel right now, okay?” You nodded with all the energy you had left as he cradled your face.

“Can you tell me what hurts my love?”

You slowly moved to adjust yourself, the cold floor not being the most comfortable place right now. “My head hurts a lot. My stomach too…I don’t know, everything just feels very achy.”

He nodded, trying to hold it together but in reality he was in pain too every time he saw you in pain. “Okay, Alright. I’m gonna go get your things. Want to stay here for the moment?” You nodded softly. “Alright. I’ll be right back, my love.”

…

The ride from the arena to the hotel felt like an eternity, each passing minute stretching as your discomfort grew worse. By the time you stepped into your dad’s bedroom, every symptom had reached a ten. You didn’t bother with decorum, collapsing face-first onto his bed with a muffled groan. Relief felt like a distant concept, and the lack of medication or even a temperature check only made it worse.

“Not so fast, my girl,” your dad said, his voice cutting through your haze of exhaustion. 

“Whyyyy?” you whined, refusing to lift your head from the pillow.

“First off, you’re still in your clothes—which, might I add, have hints of puke on them. Secondly, that’s my bed. Have you forgotten that your room is next door? I just came in here to grab you some medicine.”

You shifted slightly but didn’t make any move to leave. “But I don’t wanna be there by myself,” you murmured, your voice soft and pleading. “Please, Dad. Just this one time? I don’t feel good.”

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He wanted to say no. He wanted to remind you that you’d said “just this one time” last week when you crawled into his bed at three in the morning, claiming you could hear George’s snoring through the wall. But the memory of his bandmates’ voices rang in his head, their teasing reminders to *enjoy it while it lasts.* He looked at you, curled up in his blanket, pale and pitiful, and he knew he couldn’t say no.

“Fine,” he relented with a small sigh, “but you still gotta shower.”

“That’s gonna take too long,” you grumbled, burrowing further into the bed. “I just want to rest.”

“You’ll feel better after a cool shower, my love,” he coaxed gently. “Then, I promise, you can come right back here and lay down.”

You hesitated, your stubbornness clashing with the trust in his voice, before finally nodding. “Okay.”

“I’ll go get it running for you,” he said, already moving toward the bathroom. “Just wait here for a second.”

Moments later, he returned, gesturing toward the bathroom. “It’s all ready, go ‘head.”

Dragging yourself up, you trudged into the bathroom, expecting the usual sterile setup. Instead, you found the shower set to the exact temperature you always preferred, the steam curling softly against the mirror. Your shower products, still tucked away in your suitcase, were carefully laid out on the counter, alongside a fresh towel and your favorite set of pajamas. Seeing everything he’d prepared sparked a small, warm smile to your lips, a flicker of gratitude breaking through the fog of your discomfort.

The cool water worked wonders, easing the aches in your body and clearing your head. You could now admit your dad was right. By the time you stepped out and changed into the cozy pajamas he’d picked out, you felt a little lighter, a little more human. Padding back into the bedroom, you found him sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling absently on his phone. He looked up as you approached, his expression softening.

“Dad?” you murmured as you crawled back into the bed beside him.

“Hm?”

“Thank you.” 

He smiled, brushing a damp strand of hair from your face. “Always, my love.”

Fictioned Machines! Watts' ref. sheet

Personal info.

Full name: Vivienne "Watts" Kaiser Wattson

Place of birth: Gear Ville, Electric Realm

Species: Electric machine

Occupation: Racer

Age: 23 years old

Birthdate: 25/Jan./20**

Abilities: Electricity manipulation, "Electric Charge" (a special move of hers that allows her to make electricity and shoot incredible blasts of them).

Extra info.

Her real name is not Watts because I took as a reference the time she said "They call me... Watts!" in the first time she appeared in the original show (you can see what I did with her last name lsbdkssks).

Xyr birthdate is based on the date the episode "Fast Friends" was first aired.

Her and Pickle met at some point in their childhoods, but they were too young to remember it.

Apart from the electric guitar, she is surprisingly very good at playing the harp.

The white bow on her head was given to xem by Blaze before xe even began dating them and Crusher.

The silver arm bracelets on xyr right arm are a gift from Crusher when they first began going out.

She has problems with half of her family because she chose to be what made her happy (a racer) instead of what would make her have a "good reputation in the Electric Realm" (any complex carrier).

This one is actually on the series, but it also applies here: Watts speaks with a South American accent. :]

When she met her group, she had long hair, but she let Gabby cut it because she wanted to look different from the time she used to be pressured by her family.

(I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER)

I’m so tired here are some assorted Disventure Camp headcanons:

•Jake is really into poetry. Some of his poems are bangers, some of them are absolute dogshit. He posts some of them online, mostly the bad ones because he’s not self-aware of how bad they are. He will spend hours on end writing in his notes app. Guy is a big fan of sonnets and free verse but his strong suits are odes and villanelles

•Rosa María, James, Yul, Lake, Riya, Fiore, and Alec are all multilingual. Rosa speaks English and Spanish, James speaks Portuguese and English, Yul speaks Korean and English, Lake speaks German and English as well as some French, Riya speaks Hindi and English, Fiore speaks English and some Italian, and Alec speaks English as well as a variety of other languages (he did a minor in linguistics for his university degree so he knows the basics of multiple major languages).

•Hunter’s a competitive chess player. Ally’s the only person who’s ever beat him fair and square, but even then, that rarely happens

•Lake is great at baking. She’s incredibly exact when it comes to measurements, timing, and technique. Rosa, meanwhile, is a great cook and she doesn’t measure anything

•Aiden can play bass guitar. He started learning as a teenager because he wanted to join an emo band one day. Chase your dreams boy

•Yul used to have braces and he’s really embarrassed about it

•Gabby’s a forager, she loves to forage for wild fruit and mushrooms and greens

•Ellie’s kinda a ghoul in the kitchen. Like she can make good food and drinks but most of the time she’s so tired that she makes evil energy drink-instant coffee potions or like that pistachio & condensed milk concoction from Arthur

•In a better universe I think Ellie and Jake are frenemies instead of fully hating each other and they play Minecraft together and Ellie is constantly stealing Jake’s shit and trying to defeat the Ender Dragon meanwhile he screams every time he sees a Creeper and begs her to turn Keep Inventory on because he keeps dying

•Miriam gets a cat after the show. She’s an older white cat named Snowball and she has the same personality as her. They are best friends and Miriam is so annoyed by her. She made them matching sweaters. Snowball is only fully nice to Jake

•Fiore listens to Thrash Metal. It’s partially just to throw people off when they find out, she thinks it’s funny

•Fiore also enjoys those YouTube prank videos, she knows they’re fake they’re just so stupid that she finds them hilarious. Kristal gives her an iPad for a day one time for entertainment and it pisses the rest of the Magenta team off so bad because she keeps playing these prank videos and watching epic fail compilations at full volume

•Grett loves crocheting. She slowly turns into one of those people who crochets during lectures and while watching movies and shit

•James is really good at Tetris

•Ally is obsessed with Sci-Fi. She, Tess, and Hunter watch Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Star Wars together because they all love the worldbuilding so much. Tess writes fanfiction about almost everything they watch. Hunter has terrible media literacy and misses the themes every time but he has fun watching

•After All Stars, Riya gets really into tattoos. She gets matching ones with Connor

•People antagonize Tom with the cop slide video and every time he clenches his fist and goes, “Stop laughing at him.”

•Kai has a bunch of pet bugs. Maggy’s secretly afraid of them still but she’s getting there. She likes rollie pollies

•Karol used to do roller derby and Lill used to ice skate. Ggirlf,riends,,, I miss them chat. Where is my old woman yuri

•Aiden eats plain yogurt nothing on it and it’s the one thing James doesn’t like about him. Like it’s so upsetting to him. Why does he eat plain yogurt

•Ashley likes hyperpop, don’t tell anyone

•Tom likes crockpot food. He is not invited to potlucks for this reason. He will always bring the crockpot

•Alec doesn’t like splatter films but he really enjoys psychological horror, especially mockumentaries and mondo films

•Lake read creepypasta a lot as a kid and she wouldn’t go into the kitchen after dark because she was afraid of Jeff the Killer appearing at her fridge

For the Boyd Holbrook's character union questions (big fan!), how about what's the most expensive thing they've ever bought, and the most expensive thing they've ever been given?

Steve Murphy

Most expensive thing he’s bought: Steve’s an old fashioned (and frugal!) sort; the most expensive thing he’s bought was Connie’s engagement ring.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: When he became a DEA agent his parents in West Virginia put together some money to buy him a very nice and semi-fashionable quartz watch. They were going to get an engraving in the back, but that was just out of their budget. But they sent along a rather sweet note (his mom wrote it).

Donald Pierce

Most expensive thing he’s bought: Pierce will occasionally splurge on some item of designer clothing or a piece of gold jewelry, but the most expensive thing he ever bought was an hour in a Vegas strip club’s VIP lounge for him and a few of his Reavers. He didn’t have a great time. He was hyperaware of the guys around him and tried to oversell his (extremely lackluster) enthusiasm about the girl on girl show a couple of the women put on.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: For his 30th birthday Gabby got him a bundle of mint condition Wolverine comics (one of them was signed by the artist). He cried a little and tried to pretend it was the dust from the box.

Cap Hatfield

Most expensive thing he’s bought: He scraped together some money from doing odd jobs for his family and bought himself a good and sturdy pair of shoes from the cobbler. He immediately ruined them trampling through the woods after Jim.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: The gun Jim got him! He adores it so.

Clement Mansell

Most expensive thing he’s bought: He blew through a few thousand in one go after a long con he ran on a custom-tailored luxury suit. He doesn’t wear it anymore. He decided forest green wasn’t his color.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: He hasn’t actually gotten many expensive gifts. Sandy bought him a series of music lessons with a decent coach, but he stopped after the first one – he stormed out after they tried to offer some basic suggestions, and told Sandy he wasn’t gonna take advice from some ignorant no-name who never sold a single album.

The Corinthian

Most expensive thing he’s bought: He doesn’t really need to buy much in the Waking World. The most expensive “thing” he’s bought was a ludicrously pricey ticket to a restaurant in Shanghai that promised an interactive culinary experience, complete with avant-garde food and visual presentations. He had a great time.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: A very wealthy trust fund baby became enamored with him after a one night stand, and proceeded to whisk him away to a weekend in Paris. They stayed in the penthouse suit of a five star hotel, and rented out the Louvre for a private tour. The Corinthian decided against killing him, because the kid promised him that next time they’d hit up Greece. And after Greece, it was Jaipur, and so on..!

Eli Klaber

Most expensive thing he’s bought: Klaber’s never really had a ton of spending money to throw around, but he did save up for a while for a bottle of French perfume. It was very classy and very chic, and the saleswoman assumed he was buying it for his wife. Klaber sprays it on when he doesn’t have to leave his apartment for the day, and really likes wearing a dress with it.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: Voller presented him with the German Montblanc 149 fountain pen. Klaber really appreciated it, but secretly finds it a bit boring. He longs for the delicate Lady Sheaffers pens.

Ty Shaw

Most expensive thing he’s bought: He likes to get nice gifts for all his siblings, but the most expensive thing he’s bought was the spruce wood Spanish guitar he got Abby for her high school graduation. She wrote him a song as a thank you gift and he teared up listening to her play it for him on the guitar he got her.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: Abby once bought him a very fine pair of leather, custom fit cowboy boots. The spur straps are embroidered with turquoise! He shows them off to everyone.

Quinn McKenna

Most expensive thing he’s bought: Quinn’s never fallen victim to the typical military boy spending patterns. He didn’t buy a charger or anything like that - he got a very sensible used Honda. He used to grouchily say that the most expensive thing he ever bought was the house, for all the good that did him, considering his wife got to keep it in the divorce.

Most expensive thing he’s been given: Quinn’s honestly not sure. Maybe the investment the military spent putting him through sniper school?

Show Me Yours | Matty Healy [43]

chapter forty-three, act five: the ballad of me and my brain

masterlist

November 4th 2017

Her head is pounding. It’s ringing. It kind of sounds like the guitar riff in I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor.

Then she realises that it is the riff from the familiar Arctic Monkeys song, and that her phone, which is just out of reach, is ringing.

She reaches one hand out but it’s not enough so she forces her aching body to crawl towards it.

“H-Hello?”

“Thank God, I was about to file a missing person’s report.”

“Pheebs?”

“Where are you?”

Tommie groans as she sits up and looks around, she’s still in the studio. But the freshly cleaned studio is a mess once more. “What?”

“Where are you?”

“Um, sorry, I fell asleep at the studio,” She looks around at the mess, her new journal that she’d gotten from George is open on the coffee table, the little baggie being used as a bookmark for a different page.

“The studio?” There’s a dull ache in her head, or maybe it’s her jaw. No, it’s definitely her nose. Her mouth is dry and she fumbles until she finds a half empty can of dr pepper Matty had left behind, “What are you doing there?”

“I was working on something.”

“Is everything okay?”

She looks around. No, she can’t remember much and her mind is fuzzy.

“Yeah… yeah, um, I’ll just finish up here and be back.”

“Tom?”

“Hmm?”

Phoebe’s silent for too long on the other end of the phone and Tommie moves her hand back to look if she’s hung up or not.

“Matty’s put himself into rehab.”

⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ

December 1st 2017

Tommie’s back in her little Welsh house. She’s decided to give Phoebe space for the next few months and to take some time to herself (and Button.)

But the doorbell rings one Friday morning and her brow raises as she drags herself away from her Criminal Minds marathon to answer it.

“Hiy- Gabby?”

The Australian model moves from foot to foot, trying to contain an excited Allen who jumps towards the redhead the moment he sees her. “Hi.”

Tommie stares at her, ignoring Button and Allen who reunite on her porch. “Can I- come in?”

“Sure, yes, of course, yes, come in.” 

She holds the door open and Gabby steps in, but when it closes behind her she doesn’t move into the living room, she stays in the hallway looking at the frames hung on the wall. 

“Is everything okay?”

Gabby lets go of Allen’s lead allowing the dog to run after Button who’s gone out to the back garden. Then she fishes into the pocket of her puffer coat grasping a little brown notebook.

“Caleb came to the old flat, dropped this off for you.”

She takes the book gently and then rubs her thumb over the cover, “Thank you.”

Gabby nods, “I’ve talked with Jamie,” She tells her, “He said everything is going through good, looks like you’re gonna win.”

“Yeah.”

The silence that stretches is awkward, Tommie’s too afraid to say anything in fear of it being the wrong thing.

“Can I ask a favour?”

She doesn’t respond, so Gabby goes on anyway, “Can you- have Allen? I just- I can’t, and he’s always loved you, and you have Button, so I thought… I thought that, you know-”

“Sure.”

Gabby nods, “Thank you.”

She lets her eyes travel the frames again, she notices that the one that used to hold a photo of Matty and Tommie in New York, huge marshmallow coats and the dog's leads in hands is gone. It’s been replaced with a picture from the same day of Button and Allen sharing a hotdog.

“Do you want a cup-”

“I should go.”

Gabby purses her lips, “I’m going back to Australia.”

“What about Matty?”

She shakes her head, “He broke up with me.”

“What?”

She looks at her shoes, “The day he put himself into rehab, he called me, broke up with me and disappeared.”

“Gabs, I’m-”

“I think it needed to happen. We haven’t been the same since-” She cuts herself off, she doesn’t want to blame Tommie, she knows it was technically Caleb’s fault that Matty found out about Tommie’s feelings in the first place.

“I’ve got a plane to catch.” Tommie nods then and opens the door for her.

Gabby stops before she takes the first step out the door and lets her hand land on Tommie’s shoulders. “I’m sorry we couldn’t be friends in the end.”

“We still can,” Tommie tries, one final attempt. “We can still be friends.”

Gabby shakes her head, “No, we can’t.”

girlie can’t sleep so matty sings to her until she drifts off. been thinking of the video where he’s singing to gabby as she’s asleep too much recently

that video makes me sick! (in a good way)

the way you most definitely ask matty if he can sing you to sleep, maybe you’ve been having a hard time going to bed recently and you just wanna be pampered! of course matty agrees with no hesitation though he’s blushing slightly when you ask him, strumming his guitar and singing to you softly, sitting on the bed and humming the melody. you can feel the vibration of his voice thrumming on the bed, and it’s starting to lull you to sleep. his voice and strumming gets gradually quieter as he sees your breathing even out and eyes stop fluttering. the way he looks at you!! even if you don’t know, he has such adoration in his eyes. he swears that he could just stare at you for hours. (i mean come on, what’s the second album called.) his voice makes you so relaxed, and you swear that you could listen to him talk or sing for hours. you drift off the most peacefully you have that whole week, and when matty realizes ur knocked out he softly puts his guitar down and slowly gets into bed next to you. whispers a “alright, darling?” under his breath just to make sure you’re asleep before joining you under the comforter and rubbing your back and arms softly. he falls asleep spooning you, face buried in your neck and arms wrapped around your midriff.

Get to know us!

Scent of Steam is a two person band from Pennsylvania, USA. Formed by Dawn, they play most instruments, write all music and lyrics, and mix each song in a home studio. Adam is the drummer and manager. A mix of industrial, rock and synth, there are several influences for their music. Adam and Dawn grew up listening to not only their favorite bands, but also played a lot of video games. From that, they've drawn quite a bit of inspiration from a wide range of video game soundtracks. Their most popular song is Dialing for an Answer, which has been described as "[…] dark, brooding, yet still fun." by Gabby Lang from The Weekender.

The Band

Born and raised in Northeast Pennsylvania, Dawn is a former physics major who decided to leave the prospects of a lab environment for the music stage. They had little to no prior experience with music beforehand. Without knowing how to play much guitar, and only having a usb mic with no amp, they made their first demo of Nothing I Could Say in December 2019 at 3:30am and never looked back.

Adam originally hails from South New Jersey, but decided to move up to PA to live with Dawn after knowing each other online for 6 years. With a ton of energy to expend and inspired by his favorite bands, Adam drew an interest in the drums. Once Dawn had made the demo for Nothing I Can Say, he was on board. Also having a robust background in business, he took up reigns as manager of the band.

Left: Dawn rehearsing at Encore Studios in Dickson City, PA Right: Adam during the August 2024 Oddities Fair liveshow in Forty Fort, PA

Having only released their first album in April 2023, they have already garnered some attention. Here's a list of a few of their accomplishments so far.

Dialing for an Answer was featured on the Locals block of the rock station 979X

Scent of Steam was announced as the featured artist for 979X in August 2024

Scent of Steam was featured in the Weekender in August 2024

Their music is in multiple stores in PA, including Gallery of Sound in Wilkes-Barre, PA and Main Street Jukebox in Stroudsburg, PA

Nominated for "Best New Artist" in the 2024 Steamtown Music Awards

If The Outlaws Had YouTube Channels (Part 3)

LADY GABBY • Gabby started her channel a few weeks after her Instagram started to pick up, as anyone does, and started advertising her channel through her other socials, gaining it some leverage on the platform. • She posts anything and everything she feels like, when she wants, when she thinks of it. Anything from positivity videos, to life updates and storytimes, to make-up tutorials, all of which have a very successful view count. • She's livestreamed on the platform a few times, most often for charity streams and drumming up support for sponsors or organisations, but rarely does these out of her own free will, as she prefers the live options of Instagram and TikTok. • After moving in with Greg, he was in more and more of her videos, and it's painfully obvious that a lot of the time he was not made aware of this fact before Gabby started reocording. He tries his best to make it work, though - anything for his best friend, and Gabby appreciates the gesture (the Q&As are especially fun!). • Gabby's subscriber count rapidly increases all the time, but now stands at around 1.8 million; a lot of which came over from her Instagram to get more content. • She does find herself getting hate comments from time to time, and in th past would've dwelled on them, but now in an attempt to better herself, tries to ignore or delete them. She tries to like a lot of the positive comments she recieves, but if Greg has commented on a video, you know it's getting pinned - he's become somewhat of a channel highlight.

GREG • Greg did not want to start a YouTube channel. "I don't really want my face out there," he explains, only for Spencer to refute, "I'm sure a lot of people also don't." • In the end, he was pressured into it - no, not by Gabby, but by Spencer, who was hoping to get a few cheap laughs out of Greg making a fool of himself and potentially going viral for it. More Greg content is more Greg content, after all. • He eventually decided it could be somewhat therapeutic to just talk to the camera sometimes, and get things out (and uploads these privately), and otherwise he makes little vlog-like videos of his and Gabby's outings, so they can have a record of the good times (these are usually more popular). • Greg does fairly well for himself at 2k subscribers, consisting of Gabby, Spencer and his alt account, Community Service friends, and majorly subscribers of Gabby's who also really like him. The number intimidates him quite a lot, though. So many people...

SPENCER • Spencer started his channel when YouTube was becoming popular, completely convinced that the up and coming platform would flop lifeless without his cool and suave presence... It would not have, but let him think what he wants to think, I suppose. • His early videos are mostly of him playing guitar and singing - the first of which was that old classic "Wonderwall", which he's sure people will love only because he's singing it this time. • As well as this, he eventually starts making videos talking about his cases but moreso events that have occured in real life, usually revolving around putting Greg down. • Whenever transcripts of Greg's cases become available, he gets his hands on them as soon as possible, and does a live reading and reaction, if you will, pointing out and teasing where Greg has gone wrong. He's basically just a Greg reaction channel that does singing on the side. • Spencer's channel is not as popular as he'd like it to be, and he chalks it down to the bad algorithm; he currently has 30 subscribers, and some of those are his alt accounts that he uses to anonymously comment on Greg's videos.

Are there any songs you would/do associate with nightcloud and/or leafpool? I feel like i never see nighcloud pmvs, leafpool gets a few but its always when shes getting dogged on by starclan or hollyleaf and never anything else like how she discovered the moonpool or any of her friendships with the other she cats in her life, her close relationship with her sister or even anything about watching her kids grow up

watch me forget every single song i've ever thought about them to uuuuuhh. i'll try and give ones that are more so what you're looking for

okay for nightcloud-

i've found nightcloud hard to find songs for because most of them rely on my hc's and aus of her :/ but here's a few

i will survive ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! song by gloria gaynor (if any of u use this and use a shitty cover im going to be furious) is a nightcloud song to me specifically the most dramatic, flashy, and bright colored animation possible. it NEEDS to capture the energy of the song

king of carrot flowers pt 1 & 2 & 3 by neutral milk hotel with specifically the opening being about her descent into the coup, once the guitar riff hits it immediately picks up into the chaos of the coup. as the lyrics play, we see the opposite, her faith in her cause is being destroyed before her eyes as starclan fights against her. the rest of the song is how this has wracked her with guilt and has affected her relationships.

alright all of the nightcloud songs are leaving my head as we speak. im sorry

for leafpool tho-

sunny by bony m. but leafpool is the sun and all of her love interests (canon or fanon!) are designed around various planets (someone said crowfeather as pluto on the og post so that is a must)

the thunder answered back by gabby's world has a segment that feels very leafpool, i've wanted to do a pmv of it for a while but uh i dont have a decent editing software lol specifically this segment with squirrelflight singing to leafpool, we get a lot of leaf comforting squilf and that's fine but i wouldnt mind more reverse.

icicles by the scary jokes is The leafpool song to me. the first part being her as she watches crowfeather sit with his family, forgiven, content, and now deputy. as for her who is still shunned by her children, 'giving her herself up to starclan' and still a pawn despite their dsidain.....oigughghghghh

today has been okay by emiliana torrini BUT SPECIFICALLY about other characters after leafpool's death and how they cope with her loss. focus on the various characters leafpool impacted in her lifetime and the impact she still has:

If you can answer: What are all the BATMM cast (your AU)'s favorite foods and stuff to do??

Well I’ve never really thought of their favorite food, but I have thought of their favorite things to do

Blaze- Going on drives, hanging out with the gang, and being around Crusher

AJ- Driving Blaze and hanging out with Gabby

Gabby- Literally just doing her job (she’ll fix anything with any chance she gets), hanging out with Blaze, AJ, and Watts, and driving Watts

Stripes- Climbing and driving around the jungle

Starla- Practicing her lasso skills and taking care of her barn animals

Darington- Practicing his stunts (he ends up hurting himself 70% of the time), annoying the gang (Watts joins in), and hanging out with Watts (he & Watts are BEST friends in my AU)

Zeg- Demolishing things just for fun (that’s basically his only favorite thing to do he’s a DINOSAUR–)

Crusher- Using his cheating pack to cause havoc in Axle city (Blaze has to force him to clean up after himself), flirting with Blaze (Istg he does it off camera-), and annoying Pickle (only if Pickle annoys him first)

Pickle- Annoying Crusher and Blaze (they all hang out together a LOT)

Watts- Hanging out with Darington, Gaming (She’s definitely a gamer), and practicing on her electric guitar (the one she got in ‘Race to the Golden Gift’)

Ik these are kinda complicated, but I just thought of some stuff I think they’d do-

Thanks for the ask! :)

Let's go everyone: time to share my Ellabby headcanons

Been wanting to get these out there for a good long while. I won't HC too much about what happens in the present season cuz it's still airing, but this is how I see them as a couple.

So when everyone grows more used to Gabby's eccentricities or Ellie helps everyone accept her more, I can definitely see Alec, Jake, Dan (once he apologizes for trying to vote Gabby off), Ashley+Will and Drew getting along with them best. They all keep in touch with one another post-DC. And I definitely see Jake and Ashill going "awww!" when they're being affectionate or exchanging words of love...while Drew just holds up a piece of paper saying "Nice" lmao

In terms on if they met the contestants of Total Drama...I feel like they'd get on best with Bridgette (especially her), Geoff, Izzy, Owen, Dawn, Ella, Jasmine, 2023 Emma (provided she's not still dating Chase) and the Vegans from RR. Maybe Gwen too.

It's already canonically confirmed that Gabby owns a LOT of pets, though given her father didn't take care of them well...oof. Well when they move in together they're gonna get a LOT of pets. Like...a LOT a lot of pets.

Ellie's the kind of girl that usually is introverted, quiet and often a little snarky, but I get the feeling she just melts like putty when she's with her girlfriend, and they tend to be quite affectionate in public. Nothing over-the-top or constantly make-outy like Geoff and Bridgette, but they love to give each other hugs, lots of kisses on their forehead, nose, cheek and a few lip kisses too, and exchanging lots of "I love you"s and terms of endearment.

Speaking of which, I see them as a pet name-using couple, but nothing sugary like "sweetiekins" or "googoopie", but rather simple ones like "my love", "darling" and "honey", or pretty-sounding ones like "forest rose" and "twinkling star". Gabby's favorite pet name for Ellie is "Sunset Angel" while Ellie's favorite pet name for Gabby is "Nature Princess".

Given the kind of person Gabby is, they don't go to big, bustling cities often for their vacations, often preferring less busy places like small towns and countrysides.

They also love having picnics. Especially in parks and gardens, or on beaches at nighttime.

Along with picnics, one of their favored kinds of dates is to simply go on nature walks together in quiet places like a forest or a meadow, just enjoying nature and one another's company.

They. Love. Exchanging flowers. Gabby's favorites are tulips and hyacinths while Ellie's favorites are peonies and lavenders. They often sneak in some red roses too to represent their love for one another. (Oh and they love stitching flower crowns for one another two.)

They're both pretty ticklish. However I feel like Gabby's the more ticklish of the two. Ellie loves tickling her simply cuz it makes her happy to see Gabby laughing (and she LOVES the way she laughs)

Every night when there's a full moon, they go out to cuddle underneath it together. Even if it's raining, cuz they l-o-v-e to kiss under the rain

Ellie's great at playing guitar and is an AMAZING singer when are we going to get a musical DC season???. She often loves serenading her girlfriend when they're out on nature walks or moonlit cuddles. (Definitely seeing her singing some girl in red tunes here. Especially "we fell in love in october" or "I'll Call You Mine")

Close to their second anniversary I feel like Ellie worked with some of her fellow DC campers she befriended in season 1 and the likely All-Stars season to bring Gabby on a safari vacation to Africa. And on the night of the anniversary itself (which was also a full moon night), they went on one of their nature hikes through the beautiful wilderness. The entire time, Ellie told her just how much she loved her, more than anything else in the world, and how happy she made her - and at the climax of that night, Ellie proposed to her. Yes there were tears of joy, from BOTH of them.

At the wedding, which took place deep in a forest just like Gabby would love, almost everyone from DC was present (not gonna say who's banned yet depending on how the rest of Season 1 goes...Yul's definitely banned though), as well as a good amount of Total Drama contestants. Alec was their best man while I get the feeling Lill and Ashley were their maids of honor. They gave one another wedding rings with star ruby gemstones (also Dan is the ring-bearer because yes). Oh and since Ellie wished to work in fashion, Imma say she designed both her and Gabby's clothes. Also Kai being their officiator won't leave my head cuz he's a very nature-minded person and he'd definitely see a good future for the two of them.

I see them moving in together in a cabin or cottage in a forest or mountainside (these two girls give big cottagecore vibes)

I'm seeing them use IVF to have their daughter. As for names I'm seeing something nature-related like Rose/Rosie/Rosita, Autumn, Daisy, Willow or Hazel.

Well that's all I'm coming up with for now, time to rest my brain lol
