@yourpalmoony‘s questions
You’re stranded on a remote island, and have to survive for what could be months. Which three fictional characters would you want there? And why?

What is your guilty pleasure fandom?
Riverdale has turned into my top guilty pleasure lately
Say something nice about someone else's writing (I know its not a question but lets spread some love, huh?)
So many to choose from but @emiliachrstine is amazing at weaving her original characters into existing universes and timelines. Not to mention that all of her ocs are very unique and complex. I’ve fallen in love with every character of hers that I’ve gotten to know and I can’t wait to see what (or who??) else she creates!
Which of your edits are you most proud of? Put it in here!
this one cause making those runes look realistic was super hard
Which of your ocs deserve a damn vacation? Name four of them, and pick where they would go and why?
Caroline would go to some remote town in Ireland or Africa or somewhere that doesn’t have wifi to get away from everyone, if she could Adeline would go visit her hometown NOLA cause she misses it like crazy, Mia would just go anywhere there weren’t a shitload of zombies and bring rick and her fam with her, and Juliet would go to france or Italy cause she’s always wanted to see the world and travel
Make an OC now! Face Claim: Michael Cera
Oooh I love these.
Name: Liam O’Neill
Fandom: Jurassic World
Synopsis: Liam thought it would be fun, working at an amusement park housing a bunch of extinct monsters. He thought that after the boatload of stupid mistakes that were made with the first park, there was no way the new park owners would let history repeat itself. Unfortunately for Liam, he was dead wrong and he just happens to be working tech support at the indominus rex exhibit the day it goes on a murder spree and all hell breaks loose. He’s forced to put up with Claire and Owen’s bickering as they try to outrun a 40 foot tall killing machine, but as with all sci-fi thrillers, amongst the chaos and carnage, the nerdy and lovable Liam might just find the woman of his dreams (spoiler alert: he won’t).
Think of your main oc, now make them a POC, who would play them? If you have a main poc then go with secondary! If this doesn’t pertain to you, then write a few sentences on why you love me.
I was so prepared for this question. I’d change Adeline’s fc from Maia Mitchell to the gorgeous Courtney Eaton (if she had more material, this change would actually happen)
@emiliachrstine‘s questions
Choose an oc from another fandom you would like to crossover with? (it can be yours or someone else’s)
I think caroline and Melissa would get along pretty well tbh. Caroline and Bianca stilinski (@recklessyouthinme) would have a great time too I think
Favorite sentence or passage from a fic you’ve read?
The opening part of the prologue for Take Me Down by @fraysquake literally made my jaw drop (I would copy and paste it here but it’s a little long) Everyone should go read that amazing fic.
Choose one of your ocs, what would be their theme song?
blood // water by grandson for Caroline
If you could have one of your ocs become canon within the established fandom, which oc would that be?
Juliet for stranger things cause she’d add a new characterization to the mix without having to change too much to fit her in
Which oc would you be willing to become for a day?
Adeline cause I’d get to kiss DOB hahahaha (but just for one day cause I don’t think I could take any longer than that)
Guilty pleasure movies? TV shows?
Chicago PD (only cause I’m the only one in my fam who actually likes it) and Riverdale for tv shows and maybe star wars tfa for movies
What is the one thing that helps to get you into the writing mood?
Music. I usually can’t write if I’m not blasting my tunes so loud that I’m causing early hearing loss
The one thing you absolutely can’t live without.
my computer unfortunately. It’s my only escape.
If you could meet any actor, who would it be and why?
this was nearly impossible, but I’d have to go with my love Daisy Ridley. She just seems so sweet and caring
Top 5 fav fics?
I answered this above somewhere but I should add amamnesis by @wild-stdreams
Current TV show/Movie obsession?
It’ll always be an obsession, but the walking dead. Rick Grimes is (one of) the love of my life
@beepbeep-richietozier‘s questions
What is your favorite movie and why?
Uhhh wreck it ralph is one of them cause it makes my heart happy
Which of your ocs would you get along with best in real life?
Probably adeline and juliet or amelia and sawyer cause they have a lot in common
If you could be a character in any fandom what would it be?
So many options, but I’ll have to go with either teen wolf or shadowhunters
What is your favorite musical?
Singing in the rain if that counts??
Which of your ocs would you put in another fandom?
Caroline would go to Sons of Anarchy cause she’d fit right in with the Tellers and their totally legal “motorcycle club”
Who are you favorite ocs from other creators?
nikita grace by @yourpalmoony, stella sharpe by @recklessyouthinme, princess aspen by @chlobenet, melissa hughes by @emiliachrstine, and ariana petrakis by @fraysquake just to name a very minuscule amount
Do you play video games? If so, what is your favorite?
Used to but not really anymore
What helps you write?
music
Is there a story you’ve been holding off from writing? If so, what is it?
I was putting off writing poisoned but then I wrote the first chapter and it kinda tanked so that’s going back on the shelf for a bit. But I’m also putting off Juliet’s story and Kaden’s story
What are some fcs that you would like to use?
courtney eaton for adeline but she just doesn’t have enough material to work with. I used to want to use Alfred Enoch, but then I made my own dreams come true and have put him in my original story mwahahaha (i’m sleep deprived)
What fandom would you like to read stories for but you haven’t yet?
I think I’ve read stories for most fandoms I’m in, but I wish there were more stories for the walking dead tbh cause I’d be all over that
@curious-fools-howl-to-the-moon‘s questions
3 OCs who you haven’t read but are curious about!
This is hard cause when I find an oc I like I usually annoy the shit out of the creator until I know everything there is to know about their oc. BUT there’s always a few that I miss so I’d like to know more about fred ackerman by @susiesamurai, sawyer grimm and her whole fam by @feralcherry and regan mccall by @jones-fp.
A fic you’ve written that you’re most proud of and why?
Only two chapters in, but My Soul to Take cause I love my baby addie to death and from what I’ve been told my characterization of mental illness is believable so whooo (plus I’m working on turning it into an original story)
One of your OCs can become canon, who will it be?
Ahhh I’d die with joy if that could happen with any of my ocs. I’ll go with Caroline this time just cause
What’s something in a fanfiction will automatically make you want to read it?
best friends to lovers trope
Your favorite sentence from your current WIP?
Every time Caroline looked at her hands, all she saw was blood, none of it her own
Have you ever wanted to write for a fandom you’re not a part of? If so, which one?
I don’t think so… or I’m just too tired to remember it
If the OTP from the last fanfic you wrote in couldn’t happen, who would your OC be with?
Caroline doesn’t really have an otp so I’ll go with Adeline’s fic. If Stadeline (adeline x stiles) couldn’t happen then I’d go with raekall (adeline x theo) [which might actually happen… but someone should probably talk me out of it]
Have you ever completed a fanfiction?
Two and they shall not be named cause they were short and terrible, nothing to be proud of
What’s your longest running fanfic?
I think my game of thrones fic Snow Like Ash but I’m too tired to check sorry
3 OCs (yours or someone else’s) that your current favorite OC would be friends with? (and you can mix fandoms/original stories)
Atm Caroline Grey is my favorite oc and I’d think she’d have fun with Melissa Hughes (@emiliachrstine), Bianca Stilinski (@recklessyouthinme), and definitely Aspen Mills (@chlobenet)
What’s the hardest thing to convey with writing? (ie: emotion, expression)
Anything smut related. I avoid it like the plague when I write.
@recklessyouthinme‘s questions
who are your top 5 favorite celebrities?
I’m going with living celebs: daisy ridley, andrew lincoln, sophie turner, chloe bennet, and tom hardy
what songs make you feel at peace?
georgia by vance joy and Comes and Goes by Greg Laswell
if you could see any concert what would it be?
Imagine dragons
what’s something you want to achieve this year?
Finishing my certification so I can get a good job and get some money and get out of this house of horrors
who is your biggest role model?
My mom
what did you want to be when you were growing up?
A veterinarian I think
do you have a favorite character to write for? if yes who and why?
I like adeline a lot cause I relate to her in some ways and in other ways I have to go out of my comfort zone
what’s your all time favorite movie?
Ahhhh I honestly can’t choose

INTERVIEW: BLUE MEAN EYES
To celebrate the release of their ace debut EP, Through The Mill, B-Side’s Seymour Quigley caught up with Lauren Bradford and Toby Powell of Bury St Edmunds-based alt-rock four piece Blue Mean Eyes, shortly before teatime.
B-SIDE: Hello, Lauren. Hello, Toby. How are you this fine afternoon?
LAUREN (vocals, bass): I’m very good thank you, keeping busy, yourself?
TOBY (guitar): I’m very well thank you, had a busy one playing around with some new ideas, how're you doing?
B-SIDE: I’m very well too. In fact, I've just got back from Peppa Pig World. Have you ever been? If you're looking for a place to have the best band photoshoot ever, I highly recommend it.
TOBY: Peppa Pig World? Where has this safe haven been hiding all this time? I've never been, but we'll definitely think about chasing that up. Also to get Peppa Pig Merch.
LAUREN: Definitely have to give it a visit, totally just for the photoshoot though...
B-SIDE: At risk of drifting into unwarranted hyperbole, you really can't beat it. Grandpa Pig's Boat Ride is the very definition of ridin' dirty.
TOBY: If Grandpa Pig was here he'd be thrilled. Tickets will be being purchased soon, trust me!
B-SIDE: Grandpa Pig is ALWAYS watching. Now, as you're probably aware, you've got a new EP out. For a band who've been gigging for less than a year, it sounds very assured. How quickly did things fall into place when you started playing together?
TOBY: Yeah, super duper excited about the idea of that! Just the fact we have an EP is craziness to me. Things fells into place for us very slowly but surely, piece by piece. We started out as just a couple mates - me, Ben (Saunders, guitar) and Ell (Rodger Brown, drums) jamming out some tunes that we thought could've worked. Then Lauren came along and things skyrocketed almost instantly and before we knew it, we had a few songs which we were happy with.
B-SIDE: It does feel as though each time I see you play you get tighter and stronger, like magical sock elastic. Was there ever a grand master plan, any particular artists you really aspired to be like? Or was it just a case of getting in a room together and seeing what happened?
TOBY: It's really a weird and wonderful combination of all of our accumulated tastes: Ben is a lover of all things indie, soft sounds and ambience - Mac Demarco, Whitest Boy Alive, Oasis and Liam Gallagher; Elliott pretty much loves absolutely every genre of music under the sun, I have honestly never seen someone so loving and appreciative of all kinds of music in my life. I'm am a MASSIVE ÜBER SUPERFAN of Biffy Clyro - heavy distorted guitars, stabs, ledge-cutting guitar riffs - and the three things just combine in an almost seamless intertwining of all of our influences combined.
LAUREN: Yeah, I think we all have our own individual inspirations. I personally listen to a lot of female fronted bands, mainly an Australian band called Tonight Alive for inspiration in melodies and lyrics
B-SIDE: So with all these influences, how do the songs come about? Is there a main songwriter or do you take a collaborative approach?
TOBY: The way we approach writing songs has evolved since we first formed. In the beginning, we each came up with our own ideas and brought them to rehearsals to run by the others and come up with different parts etc, but now we tend to get together with just the instruments, no vocals, and record everything structurally as it would be with lyrics. From that point the writing of the lyrics and coming up with melodies is down to Lauren, for which she seems to come up with almost instantly, which is brilliant. It's a very strange way of doing it, but it's a way which has always suited us and worked out!
B-SIDE: There seem to be a recurring theme in the lyrics across the EP, with a lot of allusions to the restlessness borne of frustration that a lot of people feel growing up in places like East Anglia; although, perhaps oddly, very few lyrics by local artists really touch on it, certainly not quite so affectingly. Lauren, do you ever consciously approach specific themes in your lyrics, or is it an unconscious process for you?
LAUREN: Yeah, I guess I do (approach themes consciously). Most of the earlier songs were written by both me and Toby together, and with those we just sort of came up with a title and tried to tell a story with that, and it just turned out being about random stuff! The ones I write myself now, just spout from whatever emotion I'm feeling at the time, so for instance I'll jot down what's making me angry or frustrated, and then turn it into a poem type thing and then fit it into a melody. With the new songs me and Toby are working on at the moment, I'm taking a lot of inspiration from what's happening on TV around the world, just to try something different and see what kind of an impact it has on our audience.
B-SIDE: There are a couple of fascinating titles on the EP, which pose important questions. Firstly, what is the Brixton Shrug? I've googled it and found no results, so I presume it's something you made up. I won't lie, I'm desperately hoping it's the long-overdue British answer to the Harlem Shuffle.
TOBY: Brixton Shrug I suppose is more of a metaphor for guys and gals that like to party, have fun, shrugging off the negative aspects of whatever's going on in everyone's lives and just enjoying the moment, like a “shrug” to life itself. The actual way it came about however is totally different: Elliott was wearing a 'Brixton' clothing brand, and I said to Ben “Ben mate, we still need a song name,” and he just shrugged. The Brixton Shrug was then born, in that simple moment - maybe there's a dance move in it somewhere, we'll have an experiment and surprise you.
B-SIDE: I now feel duty-bound to invent a suitable dance for the song, which I will of course be claiming as my own intellectual property so I can drown in the inevitable riches. There's also a song called Meteor Shrimp - is that a real creature? I've trawled the lyrics for coded warnings about an unseen extra-terrestrial aquatic threat to mankind, but if they're there, I've missed them.
TOBY: Meteor Shrimp is actually a ghastly deep sea monster ready to emerge at any given point in a fantastic sequel remake of Godzilla 2 featuring Ben Brown from SuperGlu as the Shrimp... this is the whole truth, I promise. Meteor Shrimp was actually a name devised from a weird combination of words which we'd never heard before, because we really wanted it to stick in people's heads. The song itself is about someone who is meticulously lazy and always putting off tasks which have to be done to move up the industry ladder. It's a listen-and-learn kind of song, up for people's individual interpretations!
B-SIDE: Thanks for clearing that up, although of course now we're now duty bound have to make the "Ben Brown from SuperGlu as planet-saving Shrimp" movie happen, because that would ACTUALLY BE AMAZING. Finally, what's next for Blue Mean Eyes? Do you have any gigs, future releases or miscellaneous announcements you'd like to share?
LAUREN: Well, this debut EP is now up on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Deezer and Groove Music for everyone to listen to on the go on their cellular devices. Our next gig as the original Blue Mean Eyes four-piece (following the recent departure of bassist Harvey Baldwin) with Ben on guitar, Toby on guitar and vocals, Ell banging the ol’ drums, and myself on bass and vocals, will be at the Washing Machine event on the 16th of September in support of A Horse Called War, which we are all very much looking forward to. We are also writing a bunch of new material to be recorded and shared with you on our first full-length album to be released within the early months of 2018. Hopefully from listening to the EP it will give you an idea as to what we are setting out to achieve as band with our music.
TOBY: My goal for the foreseeable future is raising enough money to make a film directed by Steven Spielberg casting only Ben Brown from SuperGlu as all of the main characters and extras... please donate generously at www.BenToBecomeTheShrimpVSGodzilla.com And Ben, if you happen to be reading this, it WILL happen. The time. Is. Coming.
THE LOWDOWN: BLUE MEAN EYES
