So @acrazybayernfan came up with this absolutely incredible tag game and I'm 100% here for it so let's go:

What is your top 10 most memorable Bayern’s matches?

In no particular order:

Well needless to say: 8-2. I mean... it's just too iconic to not mention lol.

I also can't not mention Robert Lewandowski loses his motherfucking mind scores 5 times in 9 minutes against Wolfsburg in 2015. I mean, it's historic.

2015 UCL, the second leg against Porto during quarter-finals. That was the time I learned the valuable lesson of never giving up and to keep believing in the team and in this club. That game was insane and we ended up winning 6-1 and securing our place in Semi-finals when we died a horrible horrible death but anyway. I remember watching that game and feeling so much pride and joy of being a Bayern fan, I get emotional just to remember it lol

Now this one is really special to me for an unusual reason, I guess: home game against Bremen during the 2014-15 Bundesliga. We won 6-0, it was the second highest score we got that season I think (if I remember correctly we went on to win against H*mburg 8-0, or was it before? whatever). I remember this game bc Fips scored a brace and it was just LEGENDARY bc you wouldn't expect him to score let alone score twice in a single match. I remember screaming like crazy when he scored the first and then just dying when he did it again lmao it was fun

Another one from the 2014-15 season (this was my first season around so I remember a lot of stuff): away game against Mainz, we won 2-1. I'm not exactly sure if it was Basti's first game since he came back from injury (after the WC) or if it was one of the first games... in any case, he scored an insane goal (which to this day is one of my favorite Bayern goals ever) and I screamed like crazy and I was watching it back in my parent's house and my dad walked in while I was screaming lmao

2015-16 UCL, 2nd leg against Juve in Round of 16. We desperately needed to win and we begun losing and no one really expected us to make it through. I remember this one bc I actually didn't watch it: I don't remember exactly if I couldn't find a stream or what, but the best I could do was read live updates on a website and pray. It was one of the most stressful experiences of my life and I remember abandoning my phone at one point bc I was sure we wouldn't win. And we did. Lmao.

2019-20 Bundesliga. Away game in Frankfurt, the infamous 5-1. This one was during a time where I drifted away from Bayern due to depression and stuff and I didn't feel as connected to the team as I used to and then I remember seeing the scoreline and just... dying inside. Feeling like something was very, very wrong with the world. I can't remember the match exaclty, but I have never let go of it since then and to this day I loathe Frankfurt for this specific match.

This year's Pokal match against Freiburg in April. That was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life as a Bayern fan. It was our second game with Tuchel and I was already feeling that I would want that man's head on a silver plate (and I still do).

Another one (last one) from the 2014-15 season bc this one is really really special: our friendly against MLS All-Stars before the start of the season. Which we lost. It's special bc it was the first Bayern match I actually watched!!! I remember feeling very happy when I found a channel that was showing it and I was very excited even though the WC guys wouldn't play (I think they ended up being subbed in in the 2nd half? I don't remember exactly). Everybody was talking about Lewandowski and I was all ?????!!!! bc I had no concept of anything. It was an awful match but a very fun experience lmao

And last but not least: our UCL win against PSG in 2020. It wasn't the way we all wanted it to be, but since I was just coming back from my "fan retirement" I remember exploding from joy after that game and throwing myself on the floor and rolling around and idk it was priceless. Making P$G fail and Neymar cry has got to be some of the best things we do every now and then lmao thanks for that Bayern

I know a lot of you have already been tagged (I didn't check if any of you already did it lmao) but I'll tag anyway bc I'm just like that. I tag @thomas-mvller @thomats @probayern @miss-i-ship-it @fabioquartararhoe @smolnerdz @smilesleepandspeak and @leongolretzka (but please don't feel pressured to do it ^^)

#this was really challenging bc my memory sucks #and this made me kinda sad bc most of the matches I recall are from like... 7-9 years ago oops #I remember few particular matches from 2020 on and I don't like that #but it is what it is... life was easier and i was less busy between 2014-16 lol #anyway thanks so so much for this lise i had a lot of fun remembering these games (some of them not so much lol)

20 Questions for Fic Writers

"Tagged" in @kindlystrawberry's open invitation (who is one of my favorite fic writer ever, seriously PLEASE check her stuff out!) and using this as an excuse to ramble :p

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

66!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

192,170 since 2020!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

A little bit of everything! The top couple that pop up on my profile are Craig of the Creek (21), Project Sekai (14), Rise of the TMNT (5), and Kid Cosmic (5). But honestly? Whatever I'm into at the moment has a good chance at getting a fic. (My notes app is nothing but draft ideas.)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Sure As Sun Turns to Moon (I'll be With You) (FNAF) - 1,697

I Can't Lose You Again (ROTTMNT) - 847

Another Danganronpa Chatfic >:3c (Danganronpa) - 478

Wish We Could Turn Back Time (Don't Hug Me I'm Scared) - 430

Five Times Casey Moved to a New Cave and One Time that He Moved into a New House (ROTTMNT) - 421

So one of these is not like the others lol. I can explain though. So, top down:

SASTTM got published when Security Breach was super popular and tapped into the public outcry for Freddy being Gregory's dad. It's been sitting unfinished for over a year now at 28k, but I do have plans to finish it! I've cut the draft down a lot to actually make it a feasible writing project now, but I'm not going to publish anymore chapters until it's done. I want to finish it properly because this fic helped me grow so much as a writer and it means a lot to me.

I Can't Lose You Again will get touched on later on, as well as Wish We Could Turn Back Time.

Five Time Casey Moved was a fic that I wrote in a haze after watching season one of ROTTMNT and then the movie. It was published the day after the movie came out iirc and has a really special place in my heart for several reasons <3

And then the chatfic.

I got my fandom start in Danganonpa and in middle school, chatfics are the funniest, coolest things ever. So once I decided to start writing, obviously I had to do my own. It has aged horribly, is horribly written, and honestly should be deleted and never see the light of day again. Or at least be orphaned. But I made myself a promise to never delete my old fics unless they were actually horrific because you know what? Everyone starts somewhere. So it's still up. And one day it will get dethroned from the top kudos list and I will throw a party <3

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I usually respond!! It makes me so giddy to receive even the shortest comments, and I always try to pass on that good feeling <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

So out of my published fics its I’d Make a Deal with God (I’d Get Him to Swap Our Places) which is a ROTTMNT fic I wrote about the movie before it came out to speculate on the future. In it we see both Raph and Donnie get kranged, leaving Leo and Mikey crying in a subway. A friend actually told me to kay why you know what myself because of it (in a very much joking manner) which was SUCH a compliment!!!

Out of everything I've written? There's a half finished ROTTMNT fic in my junior year AP Lang notebook which takes place over one week and ends with Mikey dying which is... really angsty. Like worryingly angsty. It's still an interesting concept that I think could be fun to explore, but even if I do ever finish it idk if it'll see the light of day.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'm really not a fan of unhappy endings, even in fics. Hurt is best served with a side of comfort in my opinion, so everything I write ends up being really light and fluffy.

Three fics come to mind as having the happiest *ending* though.

The first is Would You be so Kind (As to Fall in Love with Me?) which is a Craig of the Creek fic entirely focused on two characters realizing that they love each other and that polyamory is an option! It's super sweet and I refuse to believe it's not canon tbh.

The other two are both Project Sekai fics from Tenmay this year, The Royal Summit (Where Friendships Blossom) and Sunbound Promise. They're both fantasy aus where Tsukasa and Toya grow closer, the first being their first meeting and the second where they become brothers. They're both so sweet and self indulgent, the endings make me so happy <3 <3 <3 <3

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I got one comment on SASTTM where someone was bitching about neopronouns which I think counts. But overall people have been really nice and anyone who doesn't jive with the fic just moves on lol

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope, and I don't know if I ever will. It's just not what I really want to write :p

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Occasionally! None of them have been particularly "crazy", though. I try to keep those things pretty grounded. I have a lot of crossover ideas that don't get written though :p

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but if anyone ever wants to do so you have my full permission! Just shoot me a message somewhere to let me know

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I don't know if I'd be able to either, co-plotting would be fine, I'm doing that with my sibling and a prsk magical girl fic, but writing,,, I couldn't :,)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

There are a lot of ships I love. But for all time favorite, I have to go with the one that I keep going back to read fics for even though I've lost pretty much all other interest in the game: Promptis (Prompto/Noctis from FFXV) I just keep coming back to them.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Where to start with this list.

The main one if probably my Project Sekai fantasy au fic The Eastern Side of Bolganio. It's so special to me, but it's a majorly ambitious project and I've gotten so little response with it that it's hard to write. I'm normally pretty good about not focusing on the numbers when it comes to fics (writing for small random fandoms help, there are some fics that I'm surprised have more than two hits, much less two kudos), but the fact that it's such an ambitious project that I've barely made a dent into... idk

I really want to finish it though </3

16. What are your writing strengths?

idk, people say that my characterization is really good? I saved this one for last to answer but now I'm tired

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm going to try and not be too self deprecating lol.

I'm really bad at describing environments/movement and dialogue at the same time. It's always either White Room Syndrome or a clunky mess. I also suck at titles. I always try to not use song lyrics, but anything that I do always sounds horrible.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I love it when it's done well! I love it when fic authors delve into the heritage of characters and bring in elements of it. I've done it a fair couple of times and always take great care to make sure that the translations aren't too horrific.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

So the first ever fanfiction I wrote was my exceedingly angsty, take on who the other souls in Undertale were before they died.

HOWEVER, I consider the first *fandom* I wrote for to be either Percy Jackson or Danganronpa. My first actual attempt at writing a fanfiction was a Solangelo prompt which I wrote two sentences of before abandoning and the first time I tried to write canon characters in situations, doing things, was it that damned chatfic XD

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Ouuuugh we're just going with a list here

I Can't Lose You Again - I told you these would show back up again. Anyways, writing this fic was so fun. I really felt like I knew what I was doing, and apparently I did based off the comments! It's so special to me <3

Wish We Could Turn Back Time - This is my Roman Empire. I haven't updated this fic in years but I think about it everyday. I'm working on cleaning up the outline to be less ambitious so I actually have a chance to finish writing the thing, and I can't wait to finally give it the ending it deserves! It's also actually shaped my life in so many ways <3

After The Dinner Horn and Offscreen; a CotC oneshot collection - Maybe putting a oneshot collection here is cheating but shhhh. This actually is an umbrella title for almost all of my cotc fics (especially on platforms where I can't be bothered to upload them individually unless they're multichaptered). So many of these fics either shaped me as a writer drastically or mean so much to me on a personal level it's WILD. And also a reflection on how much the show means to me I guess? Idk that's enough psychoanalyzing for today.

Coercion Cancellation - This one might be cheating because it's the one I'm currently working on, but shhhhh. It still counts. It's for an indie horror game called Imaginary Friend Asylum ((prequel to The Friends We Left Behind)) which you should check out

Also adding on the two Project Sekai fics from question seven about the happiest ending. They're just so, so self indulgent <3

Tags: I don't have the guts (nor memory) to tag anyone on here, so it's fully an open invite! Hop on over here and ramble your heart out about the things you've written!! I can't wait to read it!!!

Hi :)

Can you recommend some bsd angst fics? ( angst is my shit and I wanna suffer lol )

I have a few so under the cut. A couple would be more popular but the rest are imo pretty underrated.

Akai by itotypes

"All is fair in love and war, right?"

Obviously. I personally find it a lot more fun angst than suffering angst though. Includes Dazai with a walking stick.

Yellow roses (400 yen) by the_most_happy

Dazai Osamu is not dead. Oh, he tried. But when he jumped off the Port Mafia building, he didn't consider that a certain annoying Slug was going to risk everything to save him. Thanks to his old partner, Dazai is given the chance to start a new life as a civilian: he has an apartment in Tokyo, a tiny flower shop crammed with plants and pots, and a mind filled with ghosts. His life is tranquil. His mission is finished. Until the day when, for the first time in five years, Chuuya walks into his flower shop with a job.

This is a angsty post canon beast au but this doesn't include Chuuya's meltdown cause Dazai doesn't die. Includes Dazai with a walking stick.

If you refuse to listen I’ll say it twice, love of my life by olympiansally

There’s Atsushi, Dazai’s star pupil. There’s Fyodor, arguably Dazai’s soulmate, a single mind in two bodies. There’s Kunikida, Dazai’s partner. There’s Oda, the reason Dazai wants to live. And then there’s Chuuya. If he asked Dazai to define him, to name his purpose, Chuuya already knows what he would hear. Chuuya is his dog, Chuuya is a slug, Chuuya is a chibi. And sure, maybe he is. But none of that is enough. Or, Chuuya can’t figure out what he means to Dazai exactly, but if he would only listen, he would realize that Dazai has been telling him all along.

This isn't exactly angsty but it's funny angsty cause Chuuya is oblivious as fuck in this and keeps jumping through hoops the whole time. Bro is literally living the brojob nightmare.

I Said It Was A Dream (and he agreed) by Hum My Name (My_Kind_of_Crazy)

The plan: Dazai Osamu leaves the mafia after Odasaku’s death, but he doesn’t leave behind his rage. Fuelled by the need to avenge his friend, he creates a painstaking plan to tear down the Port Mafia— to create a false haven for mafia members while, behind the scenes, he collects information meant to expose the organization for the criminal terror it is. The dilemma: Dazai doesn’t plan on Chuuya finding him. Chuuya believes Dazai’s simply hiding from the mafia, starting fresh with a harmless job in a local bar. They have their closure and move on— until Chuuya seeks him out again. Eventually, their emotions for one another can no longer be ignored. But Dazai’s desperation to take down the mafia means he can’t become distracted by his feelings for Chuuya Maybe, he can use this connection with Chuuya to his benefit. Maybe, he can have everything he wants, so long as Chuuya never finds out.

This is a canon divergence angst fic where Dazai decides to destroy the PM.

Release series by afinepricklypear

After countless days (months?) fighting against hundreds of fictional murderers in Poe’s book and using the time alone to reflect, Chuuya is released. (Alt: How Chuuya got out of the book Ranpo trapped him in towards the end of Season 3)

This was really fun for me as someone who enjoys angst, a lot of it is pre sb though.

Confessions of a lie by afinepricklypear

For three months, Chuuya has been missing and, during that time, Dazai has fallen further into an obsessive search for him. Until late one rainy night, an oddly familiar looking woman knocks on Dazai’s door.

This is a really odd entry ngl, I adore the angst and it's deliberately ooc. It's from 2020 so there is a lot of canon skk context missing but idk I found it an unexpectedly nice read. There are discussions of SA and coercion, some pre stormbringer characterization issues but if you go into this as a canon divergence au concept it's very enjoyable. Also the author is very explicit about this being a brainworm that they needed to write cause it wouldn't leave them alone.

Retrace by Kuranoa.

Chuuya dreams every night, and in those dreams, he dies the most horrendous deaths, over and over. He wakes up in a cold sweat, afraid and disoriented. Dazai always assures him that they are nothing but nightmares. In this world, Fyodor has successfully obtained The Book. In this world, Dazai has witnessed Chuuya’s death 18,263 times.

I genuinely don't remember much from this fic but I do remember finding this good enough to be one of the first fics I bookmarked.

For the ask game ☔️

Is there a fic concept you have that you’d like to just explain and share because you’re not sure you’ll ever write it? If so, what is it?

hiiiiii thank u :) many many months ago when i first was getting on the logan train i had this loscar idea that was fun n cute and i did talk abt it in dms but now i can share here!

the whole idea is an au where logan's career in fia series ended early after 2020 (as it nearly did irl) and then 3 years later he's spotted out n abt in the paddock and there's all sorts of speculation on why he's there, if a team has their eye on him etc etc

anyway then the grand reveal would be he's actually just there as a wag to support his boyfriend xoxo and is oblivious to the gossip storm he's causing.

idk how i would actually build a plot around this which is why the idea died immediately but i do love love love alternate timelines of how things could've gone, there's so many possibilities to explore

Old Art Archive Part 4.

Original captions under the cut.

First Three:

Title: Yeah this doesn't look the greatest. Tried to animate this a bit, didn't turn out great but didn't want to throw the hours of working on it away so here it is anyway. Need to draw this guy more...

Title: Nya Sticker. Lil Sticker/Pagedoll of Nya.

Title: Nameless the Persona. I have had a bunch of sonas before but always end up losing connection to them and making them ocs. He isn't so appealing as a character design like my previous sonas but feels alot more like me.Also its a more simple design so I can just doodle it easily. Might make the sketchy style I used here be a part of Nameless's design as he is meant to be a stickfigure ish thing.

Next Two:

Title: Bunny guy and Dog guy. Got of a bunch of old characters that I stopped using [or just never uploaded in the first place] because I just keep making alot of species that were just like cats but or so forth but I'm now merging alot of those into one species of [sometimes] vaguely animal guys. Magical girl Mascot type [sometimes] vaguely animal guys. Though they able to change forms so are not always little animal guys [Human, Anthro, Standard like above etc, which is just because I like making shapeshifting/form changing characters] and their species name is just Magiese [literally just Magical in Afrikaans]. This particular Magiese is Peribit [Peridot + Rabbit because I like explaining things and puns] and is a close friend of Nya. Another Magiese, this one is Woofberry [Pun on Wolfberries which are a real thing, though they are themed after Blueberries Design wise] and is a close friend of Nya.

Geode/Pink Gem Cat:

Old oc I made when I was 13/14, missed her alot so trying to redesign her a bit, took elements from her most recent design before this and a much older one. Like how its coming along so far but might change it a bit. Her old name is Gemey, probably would go for Geode? as a new name.... with Gemey as a nickname. Might do more of this where I show redesigns with their old designs. Old art in the back are vectors, which is what I did solely for the first few years of me doing digital art, I don't do them much anymore. Been drawing drawing digitally since like only 2020, which I if I remember correctly was because my old laptop broke and then the new pc I got couldn't handle my vectoring program after a while. [and well now I'm out of practice and like how I draw stuff from scratch now rather than reusing assets] but I do miss using them for stuff like character references/concepts or simple gifs cause they made that alot easier. or just even one off non-reused vectors. Also miss how I actually drew hands [shit looking hands but still] regularly, or how I drew more varied facial expressions. Maybe I should get more back into vectors just for the sake of making art more interesting? varied? idk for me.

Art Dump 1:

1. Title: Just a pony

I think this is my fourth ponysona? [fifth if I count a pride ponysona I made], modeled them after Nameless so that it hopefully prevent me from turning him into an oc lol. Alicorn cause my original ponysona was one, he can be the Princess of just being a some guy.

Oh and also my mental and physical heath is still not the greatest right now but better than last time I posted..

2. Title: Edgy cat 2 electric boogaloo idk man

Yeah, redesigned the Nya recolour design from earlier today. Though did keep them looking a bit like Nya cause I want them to be one of Nya's cousins. Though not sure what their theme should be, most of Nya's family have food themed designs so maybe licorice? red velvet? idk

3. Title: Edgy cat

Mental and Physical heath hasn't been doing so great [as well as just starting uni which is exciting but also very stressful] and I have no clue when I may start feeling better so will probs post a bit of rough doodly stuff. Originally was meant to be Nya but with edgy colours but now I want to make them their own character [though change their design at least a bit to not just be a nya recolour]

Put some hearts in bg cause its valentines day

4. Title: Anything looks cool in front of an explosion right?

Like drawing Nya just chilling but want to draw more lore-y related stuff of them so here is them using their main spell that causes a very hot sparkly explosion. Probably would call the spell like Glittering Sunblaze or something.

Rest of Post:

Title: Alien cat? Alien cat. Old character I haven't drawn in years that I have been wanting to redesign, they still have that cool eye on their chest its just under the bow now. [Original/Last drawing of them is what's in the top left corner.

Title: Three for the price of one. Thought I should be doing these old ocs redesigns in batches of three or five or more instead of individually. Though that would just mean I wouldn't upload this as often because redesigning multiple characters at the same time takes longer obvs. Old art/designs shown on the sides because I like comparing how they look now vs. how they used to look. Kara and Bery are sibs, going to do their other siblings and some friends of theirs next. Zephyr is Kara's and Geode's [might change that name] Wife.

Title: It's a me! Yo! Sorry for the bit of a upload drought. Been very busy with uni plus a big [big for me at least] project that I hopefully will have done at the most in the next two weeks. This may or may not appear in said project :] Also new username! Casanova-mew -> NamelessMewMew.

Not feeling bad, just feeling weird. I don’t know why but when I feel weird I like drawing eyes.

Title: Chibi Robo Cat. Busy with uni, very tired, yada yada not drawing much lately so have a redesign of a very old character of mine. Used a different type of shading than usual [like how shiny it looks], plus a Chibi style [this character doesn’t have this proportions]. Also really like the bg makes me think of seeing lights at night without my glasses.

Title: [BRIGHT COLOURS] Glowing from within. Redesign of an unsold adopt, also more playing around with shiny/very bright shading. Might make some more ’experimental’ stuff like this.

Title: The Grim Baker. What do you do if you're a Grim Reaper but also have had a life long dream of opening a bakery? You open a bakery with spooky treats to get the spirits [and possibly other forms of the undead] that you are obligated to guide to afterlife to come to you of course! Finished up a week old wip, I'm on a roll I guess [probably won't last long] Originally the ribbons were not going to be transparent but didn't want what I drew under it to go to waste, it actually makes it look more ghostly. Also its jam not blood on their scythe :], as they have separate scythes for baking and you know Grim Reaping.

Title: Lil vector thing in csp. Testing out csp's trial [used a vector tool for this] it seems pretty cool [the comic making tools, its animation tools and a endless amount of user made brushes are very tempting and more robust than what can be done with sai] but has a much more of a steep learning curve than paint tool sai, especially with its interface, which is alot more complicated than paint tool sai's. Hopefully will be able to pick it up when it goes on sale late this year like it usually does.

Title: The sunset's looking for its cat. Fooling around more with csp, originally this had full vector lineart but despite how rough this looks it looks alot better without it. Don't feel like making multi day stuff stuff right now/ Maybe I need to make experimental not so great stuff for a while idk. Maybe also use csp's 3d models and such to practice anatomy stuff as I keep trying to but just end getting to overwhelmed with how much their is to learn I always end up stopping so maybe just looking and models and mapping out shapes and such myself might work [and maybe post them as batches of doodles/rough stuff if said 3d model resource creator is cool with it]

I'm Standing on a Million Lives (Final Thoughts)

Remind me again what the hell was supposed to be the main plot?

Listen. I thought it would take longer to do this post but after watching the last three episodes, my mind has been made up: COVID AFFECTED THE SERIES PRODUCTION SO FAR UP ITS ASS THE WRITING AND DIRECTION AWKWARDLY STRUGGLED TO STAY ON TRACK.

This conclusion came to be after a few things:

The concept sounded interesting but the Game Master felt vague in almost every episode

Adding in new characters out of nowhere without much context or expansive backstory/lore

obvious production hell under a pandemic and such

the last few episodes of the second season just...IDK what the hell happened but it seems rushed or certain key plot points were axed at the last minute due to time restraint

Now, let me take a moment to address something else. Despite the music being actually pretty good, I feel like incorporating music talents from a label like Lantis was a risky/dick move.

How so? Sure, the staff thought it would be nice to give Kinchan an opportunity to have her songs be used for anime OP/ED since her solo artist debut was in the fall of 2020. However, I REALLY REALLY don't think the music fits well to this series. (Heck, Liyuu could have been better off with her music in another anime tbh).

Anti world may sound fitting lyrically and arrangement-wise but the quality of the song is TOO GOOD to be in an anime with questionable writing and direction. Same goes for Subversive, which I LOVE to pieces; the ending sequence...I just don't get why they hyped such a character when she is barely in the anime.

For once, I actually want to question Anime News Network about the rating for this because both seasons had pretty decent to high ranks for it.

-------

Although, if there's one idea that had me begging for its own anime spinoff, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I'D LIKE TO SEE MAJIHA SISTERS.

YOU WENT AND MADE AN HOMAGE TO PRECURE IN EPISODE 11 AND LITERALLY GONE FULL THROTTLE WITH THE IDEA ONLY TO NOT MENTION IT AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE.

What a tease, but such an opportunity if they gave a damn. It's too bad the cast in the first season didn't return for S2.

(Unfortunately, this may never happen since A) supposedly, the second season did so poorly to not garner another season and B) Game Master teased the "Majiha Purple Murder Case" in a preview during the end of one of the episodes.)

(BTW, the ISML fandom apparently hates Yuka but she was the only character (other than Glenda or even the Majiha Sisters) to pique my interest, which obviously tells you something)).

---------

Overall, this suffered the same ordeal as Healin Good Precure with the direction and writing being heavily affected due to the crisis; had this been delayed to late 2021 or last year, MAYBE the quality could have improved? To recommend it would be a bold faced lie, but if you're REALLY curious, read the manga first before tackling the anime adaptation. (I made that mistake...btw).

Not even the four Aqours seiyuus could save this...

------

With that, thank you for being patient. My job hasn't been so damn kind lately and not an opportunity has come yet to leave this hellhole of a skeleton crew. The WHEEL OF WATCHES really decided to pull such a trap on me, but this also means better choices are ahead. What will this contraption choose for me in April?? Stay tuned in three weeks to find out. Until then, here's hoping you don't end up being summoned by its star crotch to become a farmer.

twin | l. norris

pairing: lando norris x russell!reader word count: 3.2k words request: yes/no by anons "bestie after peace you got me thinking. how would the imagine go if reader was george’s sister dating lando instead?" & "reader has had a bad week and lando's been away and reader starts doubting their worth. lando comes back and notices that you are down and you hesitantly tell him your feelings and quick reassurance going "there isn't really anyone else. you're it for me." and ends with some fluff.🤗" so sorry this took so long! hope you both like it! warnings: what is says up there! pretty angsty, pretty fluffy. a/n: NOT ME REALIZING I SCHEDULED THIS FOR 8PM INSTEAD OF AM. i'm thinking maybe the mick fic i promised might be turned into a series... idk yet, but i'm taking my time with it bc this is my new "pillow" .

my masterlist / this is sort of a part two to 'peace' (but not rlly just the concept)

growing up with george as your twin brother was quite fun. you’d have excuses to skip out of school every other day, which you loved. you got to travel with your whole family to new places, which you also loved.

but george had one rule. stay away from his friends. that, you didn’t love so much. you got to see them almost every weekend, at times when they’d all hang out together at your house you’d take the opportunity and stick to them. mostly because you wanted to look at him. lando.

no matter how many times george would tell you to leave them alone so they could do ‘boys’s stuff’, you’d just roll your eyes and sit between lando and alex, who told george it wasn’t a big deal. they actually enjoyed spending time with you.

“so, what i’m hearing is… your friends like me more than you,” you’d tease, smiling cheekily before throwing an arm around each boy’s shoulder, lando took the opportunity and leaned his head against yours, under the excuse of trying to piss off george, but in truth, he only wanted to be close to you at all times. george would just grunt and whine.

as time went on, you and lando kept getting closer. race weekends were the best for you, you felt conflicted, though, because you desperately wanted your brother to succeed, but at the same time you couldn’t help but celebrate your friends’s success. after george’s first year in f1, you noticed how being alone had really taken a toll on him. you were used to always being there for him, but your studies didn’t leave you as much free time as before. which was why you decided to do college online so you could join your twin brother.

you could see it in his eyes, his spark was back. you’d walk through the paddock with his arm over your shoulders protectively, telling everyone that if they messed with you, they’d have to go through him first.

following the f1 circus meant that you, obviously, had to spend time with the other drivers, which you weren’t complaining about at all. you liked most of them and enjoyed their company.

the first race of the 2020 season was a chaotic one, half the grid didn’t finish the race, and those who did were fighting fearlessly to defend their position, and attack when they tried to overtake. you knew it was hard for george to abandon the race, so you gave him alone time to process it.

meanwhile, you were watching the last minutes of the race, wanting to see who’d end up on the podium. you gasped when you noticed lando was in fourth place, and slowly catching up to the car in front. your heart stopped when he crossed the finish line, waiting to hear if he’d gotten a podium.

hearing his team radio brought tears to your eyes, he’d had a brilliant race, and he deserved that podium. you wanted nothing but to wrap your arms around him and tell him how proud you were of him. but, you had to look after your brother, at least make sure that he was alright and ready for his post-race interviews in the media pen.

“what were the results?” you heard behind you, seeing george walk to you.

“valtteri, charles, lando,” you smiled at him.

“lando got a podium?” he asked, eyes wide, “are you serious?”

“look for yourself,” you said, standing up and walking out of the williams hospitality. you heard the celebrations before you saw them, the whole mclaren garage was ecstatic about their result. “don’t worry, you’ll get your time to shine,” you told him, sliding an arm around his waist, squeezing his side.

“thanks, sis,” he kissed the top of your head. you were about to say something when the team’s pr manager stepped in front of you. “duty calls, see you in a bit?”

“sure, i’ll do some exploring around,” you smiled, slipping away from him.

a few hours later, you were getting ready to leave.

“i’ll get my bag and we’re good to go,” george said, ready to walk up the stairs again.

“i’ll be outside!” you told him.

you stepped outside of the motorhome, feeling a light breeze against your skin, blowing the hair away from your face.

“little rose,” you heard someone calling you by your nickname.

when you and george were young, he couldn’t pronounce your last name correctly, which ended up sounding like ‘rose-elle’. and, since you were the younger twin, people started calling you ‘little rose’.

“hey! congrats on the podium!” you grinned, throwing your arms around lando’s neck. “you were amazing!”

“you saw it?” he bit his lip, trying to prevent the inevitable grin that was taking over his face.

“of course i did! had to give georgie a bit of space, so i watched it. how do you feel?”

“it honestly doesn’t feel real. at all.” he confessed, you nodded, “like… i’ve been waiting for this moment so long, and now that it’s here, i…” he shook his head, “i don’t know,”

“maybe it’s the adrenaline,” you shrugged, “did you cry?” you smiled, your heart thumping as you watched his cheeks turning red.

“i did, yeah,”

“aww, lando!” you cocked your head to one side, taking a step close to him. “you deserve it,” you hugged him again, and this time, you felt his hands on both sides of your hips.

“take your hands off my sister, you already got your trophy,”

“george!” you grunted.

“sorry, lad,” lando chuckled, squeezing your side before letting go of you. you gasped, and he winked at you, making your heart flutter inside your chest.

that night, you tossed and turned in your hotel bed, something wasn’t letting you sleep. you checked your phone for the millionth time, before tossing it to the side and turning around. you closed your eyes, just as you were starting to drift off, your phone buzzed.

grunting, you picked it up, squinting at the bright light. you’d gotten a text from lando.

‘r u awake?’

you frowned, it was almost 2 am, why did he want to talk to you at 2 in the morning?

‘yeah, why?’

instead of a reply, you heard a knock on your door. you stood up, dragging your feet until you opened the door.

“lando, what are you doing here?” you asked, leaning against the door frame.

his hands were by his sides, fingers playing with each other as his eyes went wide.

“h-hi,” he breathed, “i didn’t wake you, did i?” he asked, and you shook your head slightly. “oh, okay,” he said.

“is something wrong… or-”

“no, no, i… i wanted to tell you something,” he said, eyes flicking down to your lips before returning to your eyes.

“what is it?” you crossed your arms over your chest.

“um, well… you know how i… i got my first podium today,” he started, you nodded, “and even though the celebration wasn’t as big or great as i’d hoped,” you chuckled, “i felt amazing, like there was nothing that could stop me.”

“that’s amazing,” you whispered, a small smile on your face.

“and i think it’s the adrenaline that’s still running in my veins but-”

“what?” you asked as he paused. he looked down, balling his hands into fists for a second, before stretching his fingers again.

“i realized, as i was standing there, with my team around me, that there was one person missing. you.”

your breath hitched, he’d taken one step close to you so you only had to extend your arm a little and you’d be touching him.

“what- what do you mean?”

“it means that when i get a podium, i’d like you to be there. i’d like to hold your hand, to make you laugh and share late night thoughts when we can’t fall asleep.”

he leaned in, closing the space between you.

“i’ve liked you for a long time now. i don’t know when you went from being my friend’s sister to you, but i-”

he stopped talking, his mouth too busy fighting against yours for dominance. it’s a messy kiss. your hands fly up to his hair, fingers gripping his curls as you bring him close to you.

that was the beginning of your relationship, a love confession at 2am. ever since then, your life became a mix of hiding from the public and your twin, and sneaking around as you try to spend as much time as you can with lando.

you had to be smart, you couldn’t walk hand in hand because then the media would blow up. plus, george was always there, like a shadow that you couldn’t shake away.

but now, after a year and a half, you felt ready to come clean about it.

“baby…” you whispered. you were in your apartment, about to fall asleep.

“hmm?” he hummed, hiding his face in your neck, you shivered at the feeling of his breath on your skin.

“i was thinking… maybe we should tell the world,”

“are you sure?” he asked, pressing a kiss to your neck.

“i mean… we’ve been together for a while now, and i love you completely. i think it’s time. but if you don’t want to, it’s fine, i just don’t know how long i can keep this from george,”

“yeah, i’m honestly surprised none of us has slipped yet,” he chuckled.

“i know,”

“we’ll talk about it in the morning, okay?” you nodded, feeling his arms tightening around you, bringing you closer to his chest. “now, let’s go to sleep,”

“sweet dreams,” you smiled.

as it turned out, next morning was a busy one for the both of you. so the subject completely slipped out of your minds. without noticing, weeks and weeks passed, and you were still a secret.

you looked out your window, seeing the gray sky. the clouds looked dark, and there was a certain smell in the air, rain.

you grabbed your phone, smiling at the lock screen, a photo of the beach, a silhouette in the distance. since you had to be careful about the relationship, you couldn’t use a photo of the two of you. so this was the next best thing. you felt a pang in your chest, as you realized how much you missed him. he’d been gone for a few weeks now, busy with the car launch and other pre-season responsibilities.

you took a seat on a chair on your balcony, breathing in the cold air, it felt like home. you opened tiktok, laughing as you scrolled through the funny videos. but one caught your attention.

‘lando norris’ secret girlfriend?’

the video went on to explain how some pictures of him and a mclaren worker showed the two of them laughing, her hand on his shoulder. then, a clip from one of the ‘unboxed’ series, where lando was showing her something on his phone. out of pure curiosity, you went to the comments.

‘god i hope not. she's too ugly for him.’

‘ew no’

‘wait, they’re so cute, omg’

‘honestly good for him. she’s cute’

you’d been advised, many times now, to not look at comments on social media. things could get pretty ugly, especially for girls that had some type of relation or link to the drivers.

it made you wonder, though, if this is how they talk about a girl who had nothing to do with lando… how would they react when they found out that he actually had a girlfriend… that you were his girlfriend?

your mood changed after that, and it seemed to affect the weather, since it started raining. the louder your thoughts got, the harder the rain kept falling. after a few minutes of sitting numbly outside, you walked to your bedroom.

maybe letting the world know about your relationship wasn’t such a good idea after all.

the sound of the rain hitting your roof lulled you to sleep.

the next day, you found yourself repeating the same routine. you sat by your window, opened your phone, and read nasty comments people (mostly girls) online made about someone they didn’t even know. you looked through the other girlfriends’ profiles, you wondered how they dealt with it.

another day went by, and you kept yourself away from social media as much as you could, it was weird how comments that weren’t even directed to you affected you so much.

as you sat down on your same spot, on your chair in your balcony, lando told you he was arriving in a few hours. you’d missed him so much, longed for his touch when you needed it the most. now you could finally feel his arms wrapped around you, you’d finally be able to hide your face in his chest or his neck.

hours later, you got a text.

‘i’m on my way!!!! xxxx’

you smiled at the text, standing up from your chair so you could change and look presentable for him. you didn’t want him to worry about you when he already had more important things in mind. you sat down in front of your vanity, grabbing some concealer and mascara to hide the bags under your eyes and highlight your lashes.

the secret knock that you and lando came up with at the beginning of your relationship was like music to your ears. you smiled and walked to the door so you could open it.

“baby!” lando smiles, arms wrapping around you immediately and bringing you close to his chest. “i missed you, little rose,” he whispered on your lips, his hands grabbing your face and bringing you close to him.

“i missed you too,” the smile on your lips didn’t reach your cheeks, and he noticed.

“what’s wrong?” he asked, leaning in and placing his forehead against yours.

“come in,” you whispered, knowing there was no way you could hide your insecurities from him.

“is everything okay? you… you look kind of sad,” he frowned.

“i’m okay, it’s just… i don’t know,” you looked down. lando held both of your hands, his fingers slipping between yours.

“wanna talk about it?” you didn’t answer, and lando took your silence as one. “come on,” he led you to your bedroom, “get in there, we’re sleeping through it,”

“but you just got back,”

“and you’re sad. we’re sleeping. come on,” he placed his hands on your shoulders and gently guided you to your side of the bed.

“okay,” you smiled.

his presence was not enough. your thoughts were loud, even with his comfortable warmth all around you, the nagging thoughts couldn’t let you sleep.

you slipped out of his hold, grabbing your phone from the nightstand and walking to the bathroom. you sat on the floor, your back against the cold wall as you opened social media. since your life was surrounded by f1, it wasn’t long until you found a post that caught your attention.

it was a picture of lando’s instagram, showing the people he followed.

‘lando norris just followed model jasmine byrd! do you think they’re dating?’

‘oh i hope so!’

‘she’s literally so perfect. otp’

you knew it wasn’t true. he was asleep in your bed. not hers. not anyone else’s.

then why were you crying?

you threw your phone to the side, pulling your knees up to your chest. maybe they were right. maybe you shouldn’t be with lando, he deserved someone perfect, gorgeous, someone who didn’t let silly comments get to her brain.

you weren’t enough for him.

the sound of your soft sobs woke him up. he was cold, missing your warmth. he didn’t have to search too long for you, a quick look around the room told him you were in the bathroom, the light peeking in though the slit under the door was enough of a clue for him.

he opened the door slowly, his heart breaking and beating hard at the same time as he saw you on the floor. in an instant, he was beside you, an arm around your shoulders as he grabbed your hand with the other.

“baby, what’s wrong? are you okay?” he whispered. his hand playing with your hair, something that always helped calm you down.

“no,” you said.

“do you want to talk about it? what happened?” you shook your head.

“i don’t want to talk, i…”

“then we’ll stay here in silence, i’m staying with you,”

“you don’t deserve this,” you said after a few minutes. your breathing was calmer, but there were tears still falling from your eyes.

“what? what do you mean, darling?” he pressed a soft kiss to your cheek, feeling you freeze under his touch.

“this. me. i’m not good enough for you,” you admitted, looking up from the floor. your heart ached as you watched his confused expression.

“of course you are! baby, there’s only you for me,” he kneeled next to you, pushing your hair away from your face. you shook your head, his hands still holding your face delicately. “where is this coming from?” he asked, and your eyes flickered to your phone, but quickly came back to his. he noticed, though, and he leaned in to grab your phone. “baby… you know i’m only yours.” he said, wrapping an arm around your waist, his free hand holding your face delicately.

“but you’re… so amazing and there’s so many girls out there who could-”

“no, stop that. i love you, there’s no one else for me. only you.” he said, looking straight into your eyes. “you’re it for me.”

you stayed quiet.

“i know people can be cruel sometimes, but just know that you’re the one thing in my mind, all day. every day. i don’t want a model, or an actress or anyone, only my little rose.”

“i’m sorry,”

“no,” he shook his head, bringing you closer to him by holding your waist and pulling you over his lap. “don��t apologize. we all have bad days, and i’m always going to be here to tell you how much you mean to me, okay?” he leaned in, brushing his lips against your cheek, making you giggle softly at the feeling.

“okay. thank you. i love you,” you smiled, leaning back a little so you could admire him fully. wild hair from the few hours of sleep he got, his slightly red eyes and pink lips that you adored.

“i love you too. now come on, it’s time to sleep,” he stood up with you still in his arms, making you yelp as you wrapped arms and legs around him.

your doorbell rang, and you groaned, trying to ignore it. you turned around burying your head in lando’s chest, closing your eyes and sighing in delight.

it rang again, and this time lando woke up, too.

“i can go get it,” he mumbled, placing a kiss to your forehead.

“no, stay here, they’ll go away eventually,”

“mhm, what time is it anyway?” he asked, lifting his head from its spot, looking around, “it’s 10am,”

“why do i feel so tired then? i feel like i need a nap from that nap,” you chuckled. “see? i told you they’d go awa-”

you were cut off by the bell, again.

“stay, i’ll be right back,” you let him go, stretching your limbs, back arching off the bed as you groaned.

lando was trying to be a nice boyfriend, he really was. letting you stay in bed while he took care of whoever was trying to reach you at that moment. but, he forgot about one tiny detail.

it was saturday. and saturdays were brunch days.

“i was wondering when you’d wak- lando!?”

brunch days with your twin.

“shit!”

LT2 masterpost

If it was up to me, we would get an autumn or winter EP. Since it’s not up to me at all, here, enjoy this post with everything we know so far of LT2, which is to say, not much at all. Everything here is hypothetical. I’ll be updating every time I see something relevant. A little disclaimer that while this is a masterpost (kinda), it could be read as discourse (duh, it’s also a theory), AND it’s also by me, and you shouldn’t expect me to be serious at this point.

Due to me restraining myself, there’s no reference to any of the times he’s mentioned his guitar skills and him improving but I hope you know I cried every single time.

I’m also linking my old pinned here. It was written before AFHF and around the free merch thing that didn’t lead to much, but I still think I made some good points.

Possible tracks:

Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Change

Faith in the future??

369??

Possible names:

369

Faith in the future

When is the album coming out?

Your guess is as good as mine

Friday 28th of January 2022. Almost two years after Walls. It’s a Friday. It’s a 28th. What else can I say?

Here you can find @want-to-be-loved timelines for every month.

Here you can find @berlinini’s timeline of what Louis has been up to this year (2021).

The rest is under the cut. And here you can find a PDF version where Tumblr can't tell me how many pictures I can add.

2020

He said back on May 2th 2020 he wasn’t writing anything new yet.

(x)(x)(x)

Interestingly enough, he’s said many times after that that the album’s not ready cause he has no new experiences to drawn from. I won’t call him out because he does it himself.

May 4th. He liked a tweet from DMA’s Johnny Took saying they had to go write together again. Louis has been credited as an influence for them and (kind of) participated in their previous record, so I’m assuming he meant for their music and not his, but you never know.

Nothing(literally nothing??? how did we survive) until 11th of July. We all know what happened that day. We all celebrated it. Nonetheless, that’s not what I’m talking about here.

(x) So, by the beginning of July 2020 he was working on concepts and ideas for the new album. That was fifteen months ago. I know perfection takes time but…

Brief summary of important things that happened from then until the next mention of new music:

Louis left Syco!!!! 10 days later he rescheduled the tour for the first time. He followed Matt Vines on Twitter, probably so we could publicly shame him into doing something. Also, the 10thanniversary. He followed more people I wish he hadn’t.

Then more nothing until September. Not even a single tweet. The first merch drop was on the 28th of August but he just RT’ed the tweet. He first mentioned Free my Meal on the 25th of September. Then on October 1st Walls hit #1 on a lot of countries and Louis was incredibly happy and excited about it ^^

And then, that same day, October 1st, 2020, he dropped this bomb:

(x)

He also said it was too soon to be sharing new lyrics with us (x)

And, obviously, this tweet which is actually what made me start this whole post. I would hope you know mate.

(x)

He also told us he was cooking "banger after banger" and that he was incorporating more social themes into his music (x)(x) (I believe any social issue is a political issue but that’s not the point rn).

COPY OF A COPY OF A COPY?!?!

These next paragraphs are brought to you by my mind not remembering things and me not having any links. I’m assuming COACOAC came from those writing sessions that supposedly happened in October. Or in LA but I have no idea if he actually was in LA at any point other than a Daily Mail article putting him there on December which would have been too late, but I do remember that someone said he was in the studio in LA last autumn???? A rumor. Maybe. IDK. Did I mention already all of this is very hypothetical?? Well, this is it. I can’t even remember if this was October or November or what. So, take this with a grain of salt.

I’m also… taking the liberty to assume, if you must, that Copy wasn’t meant to be a Walls reject because it sounds more mature and darker and it has a vastly different tone that Walls songs. I know he’s said that song probably isn’t getting into the album, but I want to have faith (in the future) that I’m getting a studio version. (But also, Louis, if you’re reading this, first of all GET OUT OF MY BLOG second of all, please don’t ever feel pressured again to add a song to the album because we have already heard it before. It’s your art and it should always be under your own terms).

So yeah, I believe that Copy is either one of those four songs (then imagine the other three??!!) or was written around the 1st of October date.

---End of the Intermission---

Then not much important (other than sharing more about Marcus Rashford fight against food poverty and the 2nd merch drop) until he announced the livestream on the 24th of November. (x)

It wasn’t until a few days before the livestream date we even thought again about new music (jk, I know we’re always thinking about new Louis’ music). So, December 9th/10th, 2020. Nine months ago. We got our first taste of new music!

He made sure we knew Copy of a Copy of a Copy isn't a cover! (x) (x)

(x)

Ok, so that’s it for 2020. (I feel like I’m missing something from September 17th because tweet was deleted but maybe he was still talking about cucumbers. We might never know. Unless I understand how Tumblr tags work). Expected, cause Walls was released in 2020. We needed to let it sit for a while.

2021

Another Summary: Louis third tweet of the year was telling the UK government off. So was the fifth. What a good beginning. On the 26th of January, he said he prefers pancakes over waffles. I hope he meant pancakes other than his own. More importantly, he tweeted the infamous “you lot read into things too much”. Don’t get me started, Tomlinson. Don’t. Then the 31st came around and Walls was one. He tweeted this. How wise. And Project Defenceless happened!!

15th of February!! Who cares about Valentine Day when the next day we got this? ♥

(x)

So…AN EP?? AN EP?? PLEASE RELEASE AN EP.

“I’m sure I will have something out this year but unlikely that will be the album”. Unlikely but not impossible. Also. A single would be good. This is the second time he mentions releasing something in 2021 and he sounds surer about it than the first time around.

He also said that he isn’t sure we will get a studio version of Copy. And that the best bridges from Walls to LT2 are Walls, OTB, KMM and Copy. Can’t wait!

Then we jump to March 6th when he announced he was going to create his own management company. “Sometimes action is needed first to encourage the motivation and belief”. As we can tell he was already manifesting some stuff which will lead us to the numerology stuff/Tesla… kidding. Or not. We might never know.

On the 22nd of March he answered some questions:

He told us music was still his main focus ♥ mwha. (x) I included this tweet to guilt-trip him into giving us music in case he’s reading this even after I told him to leave. ILY.

(x) I’d love to get a visual EP this autumn. Just saying. It sounds like a lovely concept.

(x)

…next (I will get into it, I promise. I’m just mad).

On the 25th he left for Mexico until April 10th. You could assume it was just for the documentary where we got ten seconds of footage or admit the obvious: LT2 its a Mexican baby!!

On the 26th (so, not so far apart from that first 369) we got the first Faith in the Future mention: (x)

Back then we were innocent people who had no idea what was coming upon us. We still have no idea because what the fuck does he mean with these. Please explain. I have one braincell and I don’t use it enough for this. I’m linking some theories.

On the 30th of March he confirmed he was already working on the documentary. So AFHF was already on the works. Will it take this long for us to get the Veeps numbers? We also got this tweet: "Got a decent chorus idea down" (x).

Same person that got the “something out this year” exclusive. If you know something share with the class. Also. Is this Change? I feel like this could be Change but I also assume he wrote Change after hanging out with his friends or being in Doncaster. But who knows.

(x) And the second mention to 369.

(x) 15th of April. The second "Faith in the future".

On the 19th of April he announced that he had something BIG for us later on the year which turned out to be the Away From Home Festival ♥♥ (x) I love him so much.

Then on the 28th he announced the 369 merch drop (which it’s probably the Walls drop? Except that the TOU and KMM ones were “drop 1 and drop 2” and this was drop 369 which, again, makes no sense) but we still don’t know what 369 means.

Into May’ 21 we go.

He rescheduled tour again. And dropped another bomb (x).

He announced he has signed with BMG as an independent artist by RTing this tweet on May 10th. The article also says that he’s already working on writing and recording LT2. The timing… we don’t know. What this deal involves… we don’t know either. Bear with me here because I have a lot to say about this.

I think the deal is only a distribution one, but that BMG are interested in Louis and what he (us) could bring to the table. They were either present at the festival or watching it, but officially they had no involvement at all with it (everything is credited either to Louis own company, 78 Productions, or Charlie Lightening’s company). That’s the case for both giveaways too; the vinyl one and the tickets for the festival.

I think it would be an unbelievably bad move not to test the waters with BMG now or soon-ish. At least a single, to see how it performs. Due to the circumstances, it’s obvious there’re certain limitations on place but I want to see how they push it, whether the radio play exist this time around and if the song is playlisted and promoted and all that… I would also love to know, since it says he signed with BMG UK, but it also states it’s a global deal, how things are going to go on the US and other countries.

Yes, yes. I know those are all questions and no answers. But I know the same as you, sadly. If any of you know more than you’re letting on… again, share with the class.

Where was I? Yes, on the 25th of May Louis had a great day writing (x). Since the first time he had mentioned he was officially writing to this date there’s almost eight months. And I believe he was writing before October’ 20.

He followed Robert Harvey that day and, on the 28th of May (why is it always the 28th???) he was spotted at the studio for the first time.

June was an interesting month for the fandom ♥. Lots of LHL content which I will love and cherish for the rest of times. On June 4th, June 9th, and June 10th he was spotted at the studio, but I believe he was there more days.

(x)

This was posted on June 6th and captioned Studio. Charlie also shared it with “Mega tunes being put down, can’t wait for this @louist91 #louistomlinson #LT2” as the caption. This gives me 2019 (Elton-Joint) vibes. I like it. Feels like we’re getting closer to something.

He added the Milano date on the 9th too which I’m mentioning because I’m going alone. Anyone wanna go with me please? I’m nice and I never eat anything before a concert so you can have my food. On other news. It didn’t come home.

During July he was at the studio at least three days too. Probably more. Feels like more with all the fan pictures we got. Or was that June? Anyway, July 1st and 9th we got some videos from Robert Harvey and wearesuperhi, which is who Louis has been working with the most, that we know of. I don’t know for sure they’re from that day. And on July 5th we got an article and lots of pictures of Louis looking really good outside the studio.

On the 12th of July the first fans started getting the free, 369 bucket hat and print. We still don’t know what the purpose was other than to thanks fans. Maybe that was it. I want answers and I still think it relates to a future project (see theories above), but it could also just be a bridge with the Walls breaking.

He didn’t tweet about anything interesting for a while, mostly because he lost his phone (he either throwed it in the air or smashed it who knows). Then on the 29th of July he announced the festival!

I’m glossing over it because there’s already been a lot of talk about it (rightfully) and while it was a wonderful thing, it doesn’t have much to do with LT2.

Let’s talk Change!

On August 3rd he tweeted this about the setlist.

(x)

And this (x) on the 28th! I can’t stand him.

We didn’t get it, obviously. Because who was going to get that. But we read too much into things. Alright.

On the 16thof August Dave Gibson shared this post tagged #LT2 with the eyes emojis 👀👀👀. I believe this has to do both with Change but also with whatever else came out of that Mexico trip.

(x) Last relevant tweet related to LT2 is this one.

So, on the 30th of August we got Change and we cried, and we know that Change is going in the new album. He said it. With those exact words. He also said he was “getting a feeling for it”. This has to meant he already has a general idea of the vibe of the new album and what’s going in it!!!!!! (Right? RIGHT?).

Anyway, let’s go back a few weeks because some other things happened on August. He was at the studio a few more times. Or it was suggested that he was there. On the 17th and the 18th. (Why was it so time-pressing to be at the studio instead of rehearsing for the festival? There was no studio at all on the documentary. Which makes sense, but again, then why?).

On the day of the festival we got another mention of Faith in The Future that made me feel part of a cult ngl. The words were flashing on the screen for less than a second. Okay.

And then he tweeted those words again after watching the livestream/documentary on the 4th of September (x). This is what makes me suspect it's either the name of the album or of the single.

On the same day, we got some interesting quotes about LT2 on the documentary.

“Soon I’ll have to think about me second album, which in my head I’ll get the tour out of the way and then I’ll address that. So, I hadn’t really given it much thought, to be honest”.

“When every day is the same is hard to feel creative and it’s hard to have any kind of proper inspiration”.

“As season started to come back, I started writing again and it was great and some of these songs turned out alright”.

And I think this is it. I might be overlooking some important details but that’s what we know and what we don’t know.

So. Conclusions. That’s what you missed on Glee. I do believe the album is, if not mostly done, partially there. And yes, this post is pointless and never-ending but it’s all in here if you need to tell Louis “Hey, you said this, mate”.

#LT2 #Louis Tomlinson #Faith in The future #369 #Louis #LT #new music #idk what this is #but it's long #pinned

I think a large part of the “fuck it” thing was how rapidly everyone’s life shifted and Gerard refocusing his priorities for the first time since 2001. I’m not sure when they (he) came up with the concept, but dead kids and parents mourning isn’t something many people can even consider but especially not new parents. If that was his last big concept then he decided it wasn’t what he wanted, he may have decided the band in general wasn’t where his energy had to be anymore. The Kevin Smith interview was when he played that cute as fuck song he wrote about Bandit and it was so different to anything he ever shared, even scarecrow was dark, that I feel like the stuff he took inspiration from had changed entirely too. Also, he very possibly just wasn’t vibing with the death and sickness and loss that MCR had become associated with. I can’t imagine the emotional toll it would take to be accused of encouraging teenagers to do these awful things, while being overworked and exhausted, while having these new personal responsibilities. They resorted to letting Glee do Sing just to spread the song as far as possible and then said it was a song for the fans which high-key beaks my heart. HA being him in a suit with Britpop-ish songs right after MCR ended kind of cements for me that he was determined to separate himself entirely and form something newer, lighter, more lively. He was a harsh bitch for dumping them via open letter, though. MCR x group therapy collab when.

i agree that the paper kingdom sounded extremely dark obviously. and definitely had to be hard for all of them who were parents of young children, except mikey. but like it didn't HAVE to be like that. imo. i mean danger days, like you said scarecrow is dark, but honestly i don't think of dd as a depressing/dark record. its really bright and lively and a celebration to me, for most of it. so like. and im just gonna be like stream of consciousness here sorry. but yea i wonder why they would go back to something so dark, when they knew what touring tbp and playing it every night did to them. and i was saying to a friend recently, i wonder how much the backlash and negative reaction to tbp had an impact on what they ended up doing with dd. and then now, i wonder if gerard thought he had to go back to a place of darkness and depression post-dd bc it wasn't as much of a commercial success or whatever, the way that tbp was. i kind of never thought that that mattered to them that much, but now im wondering..bc like even at the shrine, the way that most of the crowd further back than the front like 4 or 5 rows was mostly silent for dd songs...like i wonder if that mattered to them and they wanted to like appeal to the fans that were fans of the first 3 albums again. much to think about.

but like. i don't believe that the paper kingdom was the only concept that gerard had in his mind at the time, or that he could have come up with. and on that note, i don't think it had to be a concept album at all? i mean thats what they were known for at that point i guess, even though gerard until like 2020 insisted that dd wasn't a concept album. lol. but like cw, as far as we know, wasn't a concept album. but THAT also raises another question, like was it;'s lack of concept part of why it was scrapped? more questions we don't have an answer to..but yea like. i just don't believe that the paper kingdom concept was their only option. but i have had an assumption for a while that is like. PART of the breakup (which i think is extremely multifaceted and like probably a million things contributed to it) was that gerard felt disconnected from the message that the band set out with intially to change the world with. he said the band saved him, and maybe he didn't need that anymore? but he's also said that the breakup time period was like his worst depression since he DID start the band. so like...idk there's a disconnect for me there. but "i stopped bleeding three years ago while you kept screaming for revolution' from tomorrow's money is totally about that. him feeling disconnected from what the fans expected out of mcr. which ties into like what i already said, did he try to reconnect with that old part of himself to please the fans, and it was like a detrimental decision for his mental health, which then led to the breakup? idk!!!! im just thinking. and thinking hard.

all of that was me mostly responding to the paper kingdom stuff you said but now that i read the rest of the ask i feel like we kind of came to similar conclusions.

i do think they need group therapy tho. like im almost convinced that they had to have at least a few heavy conversations in order to do the band again. i mean how do you write THOSE songs about each other and then be like *twirls hair* lets go on tour...

wickymicky’s Top Ten Kpop Songs of 2021: Honorable Mentions

These five songs did not end up making my Top Ten list, but they’re definitely worth mentioning here. They’re listed in alphabetical order by group, so this is not necessarily 11-15 on my list. I could order them, but honestly ordering my Top Ten list was hard enough haha. I love all of these songs, so don’t take this list the wrong way. Likewise, anything that you don’t see here could be on my Top Ten list... you’ll see ;)

Aespa - Next Level

This was a big year for Aespa! Next Level was a hit, and got a lot more people into them than Black Mamba did, I think. Though, just like Black Mamba, it’s sitting here in my honorable mentions, just outside of my top 10. Black Mamba was probably 11th place for me last year, but looking back, it definitely should have been top 10, and if I was making a list of my top 10 2020 singles now, it would be on the list for sure. But, at the time I made the list, that’s how I felt.

Next Level is here in that same spot, though I’m more sure that this one isn’t top 10, unfortunately. While I really enjoy it and listened to it a lot, it did take a while to get to the point where I was considering it for top 10. The “beat drop - naevis calling” section, the beat switch, really threw me off a lot at first. I often love experimental things in songs, but you know, I don’t love everything just cause it’s experimental haha. I think it threw off the momentum of the song too much, which is a shame because Next Level’s biggest strength is its momentum. I got used to that part though and it doesn’t bother me at all anymore, but I don’t think it adds much either.

While I like a lot of what I hear in Next Level quite a bit, I can’t in all honesty put it in my top 10 unless I like everything in hear in the song from start to finish. That’s just how I am lol, idk. But yeah, seriously, it is a good song. I probably don’t need to list the reasons why though, because you either already love it or you already hate it haha. It’s a polarizing song, for sure.

youtube

Fromis_9 - We Go

This one hurts a bit. I love Fromis 9. They’ve been one of my favorite groups basically since right after I got into kpop, since they were one of the first kpop groups I found. Feel Good was around this same spot for me last year too, though I like We Go more than Feel Good. I think the thing that is keeping it out of my top 10 the most is... well... there isn’t really anything pushing it into the top 10. That might sound a bit confusing, but basically what I mean is that, while I think it’s solid and I like it, it doesn’t grab ahold of me and make me obsess over it, I guess. It’s nice! It’s a very nice song. It’s a sweet song with a really likable concept. It really represents the feel that a lot of this year had, with the pandemic still keeping people apart, but at the same time things are starting to return as more and more people get vaccinated and things like that. It’s a weird time to live in. There’s something about this song and this music video that capture that energy perfectly. While it didn’t blow my mind, I will always love it and it’ll always remind me of this point in my life when I hear it. But like, in a good way

youtube

Itzy - Mafia (in the Morning)

I liked this song a lot more than I thought I was going to, given the weird title and lyrics, haha. I think the thing that keeps it from my top 10 is just... I don’t feel like I have a lot to say about it. It’s really solid, I love the vibe, I think it’s a cool song and listening to it makes me feel cool lol. It’s definitely one of the better kpop bangers of the year. If it didn’t have that choreo, that music video, those live stages, and those five performers though, I’m not sure I would be considering it here. And honestly, I think the fact that I love every bside on this album a lot really helped push Mafia forward for me. Seriously, if I end up doing a favorite bsides list, I’m gonna be talking about more than one from this album, for sure haha. Yeah, idk, I like this song a lot, but I don’t think I have a lot to say about it. It is what it is. If you like what it is, then you like it. And I do.

youtube

STAYC - Stereotype

I feel like this one could be a bit of a surprise, haha. Stereotype is great, though not as good as ASAP in my opinion. I don’t think that’s a particularly controversial opinion, though not having Stereotype in my top 10 anyway might be controversial. There’s so much to like about this song, and so much to like about Stayc in general. One of the first things that stood out to me about this song is just how solid they are as a group. I knew that already haha, but it really shows here. The first lines that each member says in the song all are so distinctive, they all have really unique and recognizable voices and singing styles.

When I first heard Sumin’s first line in the song, my first thought was “yeah, that was definitely a Sumin line”. When I heard Yoon, I thought “yup, that definitely sounds like Yoon”. J, Isa, Seeun, and Sieun as well, in that order. I know this sounds kind of obvious but... think about it for a sec... this group wasn’t even a year old at the time, and yet already they’re at the point where all of them have such instantly recognizable voices. And not just that, but recognizable singing styles too. Like, it’s not just Yoon’s voice, it’s the way she sings, the way she speaks her lines. That’s a mark of a group with a really great lineup. Anyway, this song is great lol. Why is it here in my honorable mentions? idk lol. The thing about a top 10 is that only 10 songs can fit in it. So if I love 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 songs... well... mathematically speaking, some of them won’t fit in the top 10, unfortunately :(

youtube

Everglow - Pirate

When this song came out less than a month ago, I was floored immediately by it. Everglow has been on such a high streak, in my opinion. I loved Bon Bon Chocolat, but Adios and Dun Dun weren’t quite *it* for me. I liked them, but I didn’t love them, and I was a bit concerned that they’d never do something that I liked as much as Bon Bon Chocolat again. Then La Di Da came out though, and reignited my love of Everglow lol, and it ended up in my top 5 for 2020, at 4th place. I didn’t know how they would follow that up, because La Di Da is amazing and I wasn’t sure if it was just a fluke or not, especially since it has a retro concept and style, which I thought they were unlikely to do again. But then First came out this year, and uh... I’m not gonna say anything else about First haha, because you’ll read my thoughts about that song much later on this list lmao. So then I wondered how they would follow that up! Thankfully, Pirate is fantastic too haha. It makes me wonder why I was worried about it at all. I should have trusted them more.

So, why is it an honorable mention? And why is this song listed here, when I said at the beginning that this honorable mentions list would be alphabetical by group? Well... originally, Pirate was gonna be my 10th place song, and I had a different song here in the honorable mentions. You’ll see what that song is later, cause it’s number 10 now, and I think this arrangement is way better. I literally had this post done and queued and scheduled and all that, and I’m editing it before it posts right now, writing this bit for Pirate after deleting the bit I had for that other song lmao. I’ll talk about why that other song went up in its review, but as for why this song went down... the primary reason is that it’s just so new, still. It’s not even a month old yet. My opinion on this song is far from fully formed, and it won’t be for a while. Though, I will say that I think this song is one I’ll get tired of a little faster than one like First.

I love the instrumental and this song’s weird structure, but some parts feel a little incongruous to me upon 150th listen lmao. I love that this song is pretty much all chorus. The first verse is just a little bit of Mia and then Aisha comes in with the “I’m a pirate” part, which is basically part of the chorus. It’s the drop. Then there’s a prechorus, then the chorus, then the drop again. Then a really short rap part, then the drop but with a totally different vocal/rap part over it (the instrumental is the same though). Then prechorus, then chorus. And so on, and so on, and so on. I actually like this lol, this is a positive for me. For the most part, anyway. They knew how sick that drop is, and they give it to you as much as they possibly can without it feeling like it’s too much. To be honest, it’s the non-drop parts that are getting a bit stale for me.

That first verse, Mia... does she really have like four different parts with four different voices? She has her fast paced rap right at the very beginning, the first lines of the song, then she sings a bit before Aisha’s part, then she’s back later lol before the prechorus. idk lol. That’s cool I guess, she’s good at what she does, but I will say that I don’t really understand what that first rap bit is doing there. The first prechorus is a bit odd too. I’ve been using “Girls all over the world” as my blog title lol, but I actually think that’s not one of the best parts of the song. The switch from the drop part to the prechorus is a bit abrupt, I think. In general, the chorus isn’t really one of the high points of this song for me, it’s mostly the instrumental and general feel and energy of the song that keep me coming back. I think listening to the song too much, as I have done haha, exposes some of the things that it lacks though, definitely.

I don’t mean to be overly negative lol, cause trust me... TRUST ME... I fucking love this song. It’s rare for me to have no minor complaints whatsoever about a song. Perfect 10/10s are suuuuper rare. Almost impossible. I just had to get some of this off my chest, even though I didn’t get into too much detail for the other honorable mentions. With all that said though, yeah, I really do fucking love this song, and I love where Everglow is right now musically. I’m so impressed. I’m putting this as an honorable mention, but yeah, I had this as my 10th place song until like a bit before this post that you’re currently reading was posted.

youtube

#2021 list #honorable mentions #i think you'll be glad i switched Pirate and the other song though #well... you'll be upset that i put that other song 10th instead of like... top 3 #i would be upset with myself if i didnt include it in the top 10 #which is not how i feel about Pirate #even if i do end up liking Pirate more overall later..... it just doesnt represent this year as well. not even close.#anyway! you'll see lol #long post

OMGOMG so idk if you’ve watched the promised Neverland BUT I RLY HOPE U HAVE anyways I was listening to isabellas lullaby and this au came into my head like how about bakugou x reader who were childhood friends in that au in another life and she gets sent away and he’s devastated but then they meet in another life when they’re older and she hums the lullaby and he realizes it’s her? Please omg ur so talented!!! Thank you!!!

SFW Lullaby - AU Bakugo x Reader

WARNING: Angst, swearing, alternate universe(s), soulmates, fluff, etc.

A/N: I didn’t know what to name Katsuki in the first part so I just called him Kanchan lol I haven’t heard of this anime but I did some reading and I want to see it now! I hope you like it. I kinda put my own spin on it and I hope it fits the image you were thinking. I love the concept. If any of you have request, please feel free to send it to me! ✨

Check out my other works here

Year: 1900’s

You packed what was left of your clothing into your old, worn out suitcase. You’ve had it since as long as your young mind could remember. You always wanted a new start. Especially away from this orphanage you grew up in your whole life, but new starts never come without a price.

Everyone at school was excited for you. Except for one.

“What the hell you mean you’re leaving?” Kanchan huffed.

Even though you both are only eleven years old, Kanchan had quite a potty mouth with a short temper.

“I got adopted, Kanchan! Isn’t that exciting?!”

“Yeah.. exciting.”

“C’mon, Kanchan, let’s play on the playground. It is recess after all.”

You and Kanchan have been friends ever since kindergarten. It started off with him getting the adult scissors and cutting your ponytail. You cried, the principal was involved, and you both were not allowed around each other for the rest of the school year. Then, you got put into the same first grade class. Even though Kanchan still bullied you, at least he didn’t cause any destruction to your physical features. He only would take your juice box instead.

Once, Kanchan lied and said you were an accomplice to him doing something bad so you both had to stay in during recess and write sentences. What should have been punishment turned into fits of giggles as he found ways to annoy the teacher and cause more trouble. Even though it cost you both a few more recess days this brought you two even closer.

Throughout the years, fate would put you two in the same classes. You would always play on the playground together and work on group projects. Even traded lunches at times. You were inseparable.

Kanchan pushed you on the swings as you sang your infamous lullaby. You have sang it ever since you could talk. Your caretaker would always sing it to you and the rest of the orphans. Kanchan would pick on you for it, but he secretly loved it. It always made him happy.

“Let me sing a lullaby

As you close your eyes

And as you're drifting off to sleep

How I hope that the dreams that you find

Are bright

Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies?

Where a tomorrow waits for you and I

So hold me tight one more time, but don't kiss me goodbye

'Cause I know that I'll see you on the other side

I will think of our song when the nights are too long

I'll dream of you for that's where I belong

Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies

Only, in my dreams, do we meet again”

“Recess is over!” The teachers called.

All the children rushed to form a single file line to go inside. Kanchan couldn’t help but fall behind as you ran ahead.

“C’mon Kanchan! Don’t want to be late!” You giggled.

Kanchan faked a smile.

“I’m right behind you!”

The days seemed to fly. For you, you couldn’t ask for any better. For Kanchan it felt like the world was against him. How could this be happening? As happy as he was for you, he sure as hell hated that his best friend was leaving. He doesn’t get close to anyone else. He doesn’t want anyone else as his best friend. He just wants you.

Kanchan came to the orphanage to reluctantly say his goodbyes. You made sure you had all of your belongings while happily humming your song.

“I get your leaving, but could you not act so damn happy about it.” Kanchan states in aggregation. It was to mask his pain.

“Oh, Kanchan. I apologize. I am just so excited!”

“I’m aware.”

You take a quick glance around your old room.

“Looks like this is what is left of my belongings. Will you help carry my stuff to the car?” You asked, sweetly.

Kanchan nods, taking your heavy suitcase and carrying it to your new parents car. He put it into the trunk and aggressively shuts it. You were saying goodbye to everyone else before you turn to him. You and him were close, but Kanchan wasn’t the PDA type. This time was an exception as you hugged him. You felt his warm embrace around yours.

“I’ll miss you, Kanchan. If you ever go to New York City one day, come find me.”

“I’ll always look for you.”

The hug seemed like years, but you both did not mind. Behind that happy smile of yours there was sadness. As much as you wanted to be adopted, you also didn’t want to leave your friends behind. They were like family to you.

You pull away to meet his gaze and you gently placed a kiss on his cheek. Kanchan was taken back by the sudden action of yours as his cheeks glowed a crimson red.

“Do me a favor and one day when you someday have a wife and a family, will you tell them about me?”

Kanchan processed your words.

“As long as you do the same.”

You held out your pinky and he connected his pinky with yours.

“Promise.” You both say in unison.

You said your last quick goodbyes before you hopped into the backseat of the car. You looked out the window to see everyone telling you goodbye. You could not help the tears that fell when you looked at Kanchan, looking sad. He stood there until the cars taillights were no longer in sight and then some. The caretaker had to convince him to go home.

Life goes on. You both live a happy life with beautiful families and homes. It took you both some time, though, as a tug was always on the both of your hearts. Some say that means your soulmates, some say it’s just a crush, and some say it’s just sadness over a friendship. You both never met in this lifetime again due to you both being so young and so far apart. You both always had dreams of seeing each other again and speaking, but it just never happened. You both were perished by the time the internet came around. Even on your death beds, some of your final thoughts were each other. Both of your children tried finding a way to get you both together, but it wasn’t possible.

Still, you both kept your promises.

Year: 2020

“Class, welcome our new student, Y/N!” Your teacher excitedly greeted. You nervously waved.

“Hello Y/N!” Said the class in unison.

“Y/N, take a seat next to Katsuki Bakugo and we will get class started.”

You looked to see where the teacher was pointing. You saw a ashy blonde hair boy sitting at his desk with a scowl on his face. He did not look like the friendly type so you did not even try to get to know him today, but for some reason, your heart raced at the sight of him. He was not your type so it seemed a bit off for you to feel this way. You decided to ignore it as you took your seat next to the blonde.

“Okay class, we are going to have group projects! You are paired up next to the person you are sitting next to. The project is due in two weeks.”

“Great.” Katsuki groans in annoyance.

You were taken back by his sudden rudeness, but tried to brush it off. You would probably have the same reaction as him if you were lured with the new kid. Plus, you came into the school year late due to the fact you just moved to Japan from New York City. It was a great opportunity for you to study abroad.

“If it makes you feel any better, I am really good at History.” You say nervously.

“It doesn’t, nerd.” Katsuki insults.

The teacher finishes teaching the lesson and the class is dismissed. You gathered your stuff about to leave and Katsuki follows closely behind you. He stops you by handing you a piece of paper.

“What is this?” You ask.

“Open it, dumbass.”

You opened up the folded paper to see it is an address and the words “meet me at my place after school.”

Before you could even question anything, Katsuki was gone. You rushed to your next class as you heard the bell ring. The high school does not give you as much time as you should have to get to one class to another.

School was finally over and you made your way out the building. You noticed Katsuki waiting at the entrance.

“Took you long enough. Got lost?” Katsuki teased.

Your cheeks went red because you actually did get lost.

“You didn’t have to wait for me, you know?”

“I’m aware, but we are going to the same place. I don’t need you getting lost and I fail this project.”

“Fair enough.”

You and Katsuki began walking towards his place. Awkward silence overcame both of you so you started singing a lullaby that calms you down. Your mother sang this song since you were little.

“Let me sing a lullaby

As you close your eyes

And as you're drifting off to sleep

How I hope that the dreams that you find

Are bright

Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies?

Where a tomorrow waits for you and I

So hold me tight one more time, but don't kiss me goodbye

'Cause I know that I'll see you on the other side

I will think of our song when the nights are too long

I'll dream of you for that's where I belong

Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies

Only, in my dreams, do we meet again”

Katsuki stopped dead in his tracks. He has never heard of this lullaby before, but the song sounded so familiar. So did your voice and the feeling in his chest. He has never seen you a day in his life and neither have you, but the familiarity feeling in both of you said otherwise. You both have heard rumors of this feeling before, but you both have never experienced it until now.

You turned to face him.

“Something wrong?”

Katsuki shook his head no. You held out your pinky finger.

“Promise?”

Katsuki contemplated before wrapping his pinky finger around yours. He usually would have laughed or insulted someone for doing that, but this was different.

“Promise.”

Ooooh, gimmie those juicy, juicy Johnny backstory headcanons 👀👀👀

Okay, so I always feel kind of bad? I guess, talking about my ideas of his backstory because A) I feel like they’re very cliche,

B) I know I don’t know every drop of TTRPG Lore, despite that not truly being canon to the game a lot of the time and also the cyberpunk universe timeline is kinda a mess, so i just do whatever i want (like samurai’s starting when he was 15 and also when the war he served in started, like the amount of overlap between the war and samurai’s active years is insane and the game can’t decide when Johnny was a soldier and when he was a grungy rocker)

C) given CDPR still plans to expand on the game with DLC and stuff, I know it’s fully possible that my ideas will be debunked in the coming months.

So, take all of these ideas with a grain of salt and as always if your headcanons conflict with mine; that’s cool that’s why they’re headcanons

I feel like Johnny had a rough childhood firstly, cause in the immortal words of Linda Belcher; “Look at how you stand. People who had good childhoods don't stand like that.” Like everything about him screams shitty childhood. My brain for some reasons specifically imagines, alcoholic abusive father and enabling compliant mother. Which, again, I know is the cliche of shitty childhood backstories, but it is cliche largely because its an unfortunately common reality. I imagine his first guitar is probably one of the only nice gifts he ever got and music was largely an escape. I came up with the idea too of his father having been a blue collar worker who was injured on the job; unable to work afterwards, given barely anything for workers comp and ongoing unemployment. Leaving the family struggling financially. Fucked over by his employers, turning to abusing pills and alcohol to cope with pain and raging at Johnny and Johnny’s mother. Teaching and instilling habits that would follow Johnny too.

I like the idea of Johnny and Kerry meeting first as kids, junior high to high school. And between the years of at least 13-15, the earliest conception stages of samurai started. And I do mean the earliest, messiest, barebones stages of Samurai; it was basically two teenage boys playing and scream singing their unrefined lyrics in a garage. Cause they were kids and just wanted something to do, something to get their mind off the shitstorm of life. Maybe, i debate internally, they do manage to meet Nancy, Denny, and Henry maybe they all grew up in Texas and with someone more competent even at their young ages, Nancy manages to get them actually going a bit as a young band. A few little underground grungy gigs playing at bars they weren’t old enough to drink in.

Now again, formation of Samurai and Johnny serving in the war, lead to like the biggest question marks in his backstory because nothing lines up very well. The war he served in started when he was fifteen, albeit that’s not for sure when he enlisted. Given we’ve been told children can in universe be scouted by corps to be their soliders; its not out of the realm of possibility that he served before he was 18 and was drafted as a child. But. Johnny specifically states he enlisted, that he made that choice. I’ve stated before that given how long the war lasted, its fully possible he enlisted at 18, served so much of the last four years of the war then ditched following his friend dying for him.

However, I have also considered and really do personally like the idea, that Johnny did enlist himself and did so prior to being 18, though not as young as 15. Because, he forged his documents to enlist. There’s incidents and documentation of people as young as 15 faking their birth certificates and high school diplomas in order to enlist. I could absolutely see a 16-17 year old Johnny, frustrated with life and thinking he could have a bigger impact in the world in the military, forging his documents and enlisting. This leads to of course Samurai breaking up for that time.

He serves around 4-5 years, deserting and leaving around 2009. Spends his month spinning his wheels and staring at the Pistis Sofia. He comes out of his funk and is ready to send his message about the dangers of corps to the world and he knows just how to do it. Fully adopts the name Johnny Silverhand and goes to track down his old friend Kerry. Samurai is freshly reformed.

Right around that same time, he meets Rogue. (which even this is fucky in canon????? Rogue says lets pretend its 2015 and idk what a bastard you are, Alt died in 2013, he’d already cheated on Rogue by then???? ANYWAY) They meet about the 2009-2010 mark as Samurai is coming back together. Personally, I like to imagine they met while she was on the job. She had to eliminate a target who happened to be at the venue Samurai was doing a gig and Johnny managed to stumble upon her snapping the guy’s neck or something. And she thinks her covers blown, but hahaha Johnny’s into that and is like “hey, you want a drink?” and is then like determined to get with her and they fall into a relationships. Then around 2011-2012 he fucks it all up, cheats, there in my opinion is definite overlap in his relationship with Rogue and his relationship with Alt.

I also feel like he met Alt at a samurai gig? I can’t remember the TTRPG lore of it, but I feel like in general Johnny met most of the women he had relationships with at Samurai gigs, partially cause he’s a just...a liitle egotistical. Alt however was there as someone who was genuinely into the music, (Rogue at one point in canon condescendingly calls her a groupie and I can’t but feel there’s a bit of truth in thats how it started). But Johnny started to legitimately feel things for her, but being Johnny, he never properly articulated that and always had to keep fucking it up. They fall into a pretty whiplashy toxic relationship over the course of a year or two where they do genuinely feel for each other, but Johnny can’t ever let his walls down enough to tell her that in earnest and is constantly doing things to fuck up the relationship, cause he’s a dick. Until in 2013, well, we know what happens.

Johnny has to spend some time with nomads, (probably after releasing Never Fade Away, because I do see this man as the kind of guy to postpone going in hiding just to release his song for Alt before doing so) as do Rogue and Santiago after the attack on Arasaka. Because Johnny’s busy trying not to be spotted. They wait for the heat to die down before Johnny comes back to Night City. Him and Rogue rekindle things for a time, but it ultimately is on and on and dies out again, because Johnny is stinky bastard man. Kerry had already been talking about going solo and by the time Johnny’s back in the city he had and Johnny does his solo thing for a while too. But ultimately Samurai reforms for a bit, in 2020, neither Kerry or Johnny quite ready to let it go yet. Somewhere also during this, Spider Murphy helps deliver a message from Alt about her status and asking him to let it go. He does not and joins the Morgan Blackhand mission to attack Arasaka Tower in hopes of saving Alt’s construct in the process.

Thats the barebones of some of my thoughts and headcanons; Im sure some are not lore compliant, I’m sure my timeline is messy and clashes horrifcally with CDPR’s also messy timeline. But, these are some of my thoughts, headcanons and ideas that will probably be defunct and pointless in a week.

ANNUAL WRITING SELF-EVALUATION

thanks melissa @estrangedlestrange for tagging me! ok *cracks knuckles* i guess we’re doing this

1. number of stories posted to ao3:

23……someone fucking restrain me pls

2. word count posted for the year:

165,511

i’m crying what is this😭😭😭😭😭😭

3. fandoms i wrote for:

pjo

4. pairings:

percy/annabeth

clarisse/silena

annabeth/reyna

poseidon/sally. (these are the main ones, i think)

5. story with the most…

kudos: Just Add Water

bookmarks: Just Add Water

comments: also Just Add Water el oh el

6. work i’m most proud of (and why):

it’s a tie between it feels so scary, getting old and the vine hanging over the door (both of them with titles taken by a lorde song💀) because i feel like i was so at peace with myself when i wrote them, and when i’m at peace with myself i just write like fjakdjasjsjsjsisnsk that bc i can’t stop and pure gold comes out <3 it’s a mix of nostalgia and pride of what i created. also they both have very specific aesthetics and Existential Themes that scream mari bc ofc they r my babies xxx

7. work i’m least proud of and why:

through the ruse i just feel like it’s a bit of a mess and i didn’t plan it properly nor did i make it interesting enough for me to keep going🤨 i really like the concept, though esp since during that time i kind of really wanted a bridgerton au. but like, i honestly don’t think i’m NOT proud of anything i’ve written (idk maybe) but that doesn’t mean i won’t cringe once in a while when i reread something i wrote lmaooo

8. share or describe a favorite review received:

there are plenty i’ve kept close to my heart but taylor miss @posallys gives the best reviews, and i’m still recovering from the one i got in the vine hanging over the door 😭😭😭 and this other one she wrote for the seaweed is always greener that had me dying eye-

also bonjobiggles idk if u have a tumblr but all ur comments are so sweet and gave me motivation to write more<3 like EXCUSE ME someone rereading my fic is just😭 also ash @skaterannabeth had me screaming crying after she left a comment on it feels so scary, getting old lov u <33 and how can i forget @jeanjacket-lesbian every time u comment my heart kinda goes like💗💗 one that had me sobbing tho was from an anon (for it feels so scary, getting old) bc wth how DARE u say such things and think it will be ok😭

9. time when writing was really, really hard:

i’d say most of the time but y’all will think i’m such a clown bc i literally have THIRTY works on ao3 and that is very much illegal but I SWEAR!!!! it’s so fuckin hard to write, like i feel like i can never finish things and my motivation comes and goes, and so does life so🤠��🥲

11. a favorite excerpt from your writing:

Their laughter carries on like music as the wind dances around its melody, drifting it up, up into the starry sky. (from it feels so scary, getting old haha typical😗)

tho i feel like anything from magnificently cursed bc i say so: But it was more than just the horror that connected them. In the vibrancy of Olympus, it felt like they were creating the beautiful moments, too. They’d become a luster that outshined the rust in their thread of life.

12. how did you grow as a writer this year:

dude i’ve improved so much it’s crazy. in 2020 when quarantine started and i also started writing fic it was like. my first time in a looong time of writing something in english and i had to search up so many words and shit but now…..it all comes like the tears of jesus istg lmaooo. i also feel like this year i really honed in my writing style, because in 2020 it was all over the place i’m sure, and now i can truly say that i have a specific way of writing (correct me if i’m wrong bc maybe it’s just me since m i’m a clown)

13. how do you hope to grow next year:

i’m copying annie bc i need to finish all my wips so i never write fic again i am BEGGING

14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

clown car (my frens) bc coincidentally they are all amazing writers and i love them very much. syd @annabethsinvibilitycap tho u make me especially evil and give me the silly little motivation to go unhinged in my writing 😛 as for other motivations, i think reading other works, fanfic or books and hmmm when folklore and evermore came out it was over for me so 💃🏽 also when i started listening to mitski

15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

when sally kinda contemplates life as she watches the trash fly around during august (the vine hanging over the door.) yeah that was hashtag me too😔✌️ but yeah if u mean existential dread and all that good stuff it’s taken from my real life <3 and mostly the beginning of purple pink skies was 100% taken from my life haha….

16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

read lots of books lol i swear every time i do writing is so much easier bc im reminded of how words are supposed to um. work. and never write something you find slightly boring. just create the weirdest plot line or whatever, as long as it’s interesting to YOU and it’s fun to write for YOU and no one else.

17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) this year:

finishing any of my (existent) chapter fics bc i need them to stop haunting me in my sleep😭

18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read. (totally not required to do this y’all I always hate when things say you gotta do it):

@posallys @annabethsinvibilitycap @skaterannabeth and anyone who hasn’t done this feel free<33

#writing #❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥#i’m lowkey a bit insane for writing so much when i SWEAR i NEVER write it jaír sometimes happens

World building is the best tbh. I’m forever world building and now I have several worlds to play in and my neurodivergent brain cannot stay still enough to focus on one lmao. SLOWBURN ROMANCES ARE MY LITERAL JAM LIKE PLS!!! I LOVE THEM!! Also!!!! Concepts!!!! Pls share!!!! I love learning about the worlds of my fave fics and I can hands down say right now that this fic will literally shoot to the top of my list of favourites which means you’ll occupy the top three spots. Sorry to hear that ur feeling rough, so am sending u the biggest hug. I’m not okay but I’m taking care of myself today so that I will be 🧡-🐈‍⬛

alsjfsldkjf i have too many worlds TBH, literally one of the best parts of my 2020 was writing for the classic rock fandom and writing one of my good friend’s ocs alongside mine, like there’s so many different worlds that our two characters have now, i’m like 26k deep into a high school au that i need to get back to at some point, and then i wrote a oneshot abt the high school au but they’re adults, and then there’s also the original timeline, and then there’s the present day in the original timeline where they have kids and i probably care too much about people who aren’t real...... hahaha

OKAY OKAY OKAY HERE WE GO I’LL GIVE KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE ALBUMS AND A FEW SONGS BUT IF U WANT ME TO GO IN DEPTH ON ANY OTHER SONG JUST ASK!!!

yes i have a playlist for each, if you wanna hear how i interpret the vibes of the songs. if you interpret them differently, thats awesome!! i’d love to hear y’all’s opinions on them!!

testing one two - the first ep they release, the song titles are mostly themed (fast forward, press play, pause, rewind), but are mostly things y/n has been working on for a while but never got around to finishing, things they are rather proud of. i see you shiver with... is the first song they wrote specifically for the album, and it’s the last song on the EP because it’s a Rocky Horror reference; i see you shiver with...

a n t i c i p a t i o n - first full album!! the vibe is Hopeful But Hesitant it has all the songs from the ep, plus some new ones!! collabs with youtube musicians troye and dodie, and y/n’s label sets up a collab that turns into a genuine friendship. the breakout dance hit is what else is there to say ft. Troye Sivan, which is about not knowing what to make content about when it feels like you’ve already told the world everything. it featured the prechorus and hook

You, know, ev-ery-thing about me / gave it all for free / my life in HD / So, let’s dance, let me see your hips sway / we’re gonna be okay / what else is there to say?

So say that you love me, say that you love me, say that you love me / let’s die hand in hand. / I’ll tell you I love you, tell you I love you, tell you I love you / supply and demand.

personally, i also conceptually enjoy srs bsns which is a really upbeat song about how they don’t care if people don’t take them seriously because they know in their heart that what they’re doing is good

hyperfocus - 2nd EP, a pretty substantial departure from their usual style, but also happens to quietly be Corpse’s favourite, and is actually y/n’s most polarising, because it has both the Grammy award winning HEARTBURN and the o brother where art thou which was written partially as a joke to capture a fond moment of them and 5SOS dicking around together in a hotel. written while on tour wit 5SOS, im writing the reader as having ADHD (because I have ADHD and i can do what i want), and the backstory is that they’d changed the medication/dosage they were taking, and as it’s their first full tour, they were under a lot of stress and were in a weird place mentally and emotionally, and hyperfocus is the result of that. i’m going through some stuff has HUGE agoraphobic vibes.

HEARTBURN has the same vibes as Florence + The Machines’ Howl. It’s about being a demon without saying that or directly implying that unless you know demons real well. This is when the pressure for them to confirm their identity got real bad, and it was their way of working through those emotions.

tear in existence in the shape of a person / when i’m seeing clearly i can’t see myself / world can’t swallow what it can’t get it’s teeth into / got everything i wanted but i ain’t got my health

Got heart-burn--- / I’ll tear me apart / I’ll tear you apart / I’ll tear me apart.

SCREAM gets rereleased as a remixed single featuring Fall Out Boy the following year. It won the MTV music award for best collaboration in 2018.

In the time between hyperfocus and working on it, Y/N releases several singles, including a cover of Tell Him by The Exciters to be featured in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. They also take time to sort out their health, do a little bit more YT stuff, and travel internationally to do festivals.

working on it - is kind of a middle ground between their original stuff, and hyperfocus, like pop-punk meets horror-pop meets whatever you’d classify halsey as. the first three songs were mostly written before the fic starts, so before they’re getting back to YT, but the last three, nightmare scenario, designed to hurt (touch me), and not scared were all written after they’d started hanging out with sykkuno and corpse.

in-universe, imposter syndrome was originally something else, along the same lines of tired that they’re hiding that they’re a demon, but after meeting corpse nd sykkuno and having people who know, and lowkey being influenced by corpse’s music, the song changes directions, and YO OKAY YO::

I literally am so fucking flattered, my darling friend @bingusmode wrote lyrics for imposter syndrome and I’ve been yELLING about them ever since i’ve read them!! (also bunnie is fantastic and lovely in general 10/10)

if you thought you saw me

i’d think about it twice

cuz while i know i’m naughty

everybody thinks i’m nice

cutest giggles get me

places that i long to be

but it’s not long before

everybody hates me

when you figure out i’m fucked up

you’ll probably think that can’t be right

but babe my image runs to save me

cuz i’m ugly day and night

nothing good about me

not the angel that i seem

cuz i’m a piece of shit

and i’ll ruin your fuckin dreams

i’m an impostor babe

you better run for your life

cuz there’s a bloodlust runnin through me

and you’re dripping off my knife

there’s no one here to save you

cuz you ate up all my lies

so beg me while you can

and draft up all your goodbyes

if any of y’all are inspired by anything i put out, feel free to take it and run!! you have my blessing!! i am so overwhelmingly flattered by people who like my stuff enough to create because of it, directly or indirectly! lyrics, art, songs, anything!! legit! I love you!!

okay so designed to hurt (touch me) has big House of Memories by Panic! At The Disco vibes, and YES it’s about Corpse. YES it sends mixed messages. YES it has greek myth imagery and YES that imagery is confusing. not sure if any of these sets of lyrics actually go after each other but also idk??

will my fall from grace be graceful / as each move i see you make? / propped up on pedestals side by side / beneath our feet they shake / i’m the only one to hear you ask / “What have they done to me?” / My boy, your wax throne is sun-drenched / you’ll fall in the name of your legacy.

eyes like yours watched rome burn / while hands like mine lit the pyre / we both heard me say we’d go down in flames / now you’re turning me into a liar / since you smile like that, like you can’t feel the sting / and we both know i can’t feel the fire

been telling myself i’m designed to hurt / but, baby, aren’t we a sight? /

check your reflection, your angles, apollo / you’re icarus in the right light /

we’re on the edge, i’m not scared to fall / we’ll take refuge in the night /

been telling yourself you’re designed to hurt / but, baby, doesn’t this feel right?

also, albumtouralbumtour is a reference to Bohemian Rhapsody.

OKAY AND FINALLY

n o s t a l g i a - the album the reader’s working on during the fic.

literally as i was writing this, bunnie sent through some FIRE lyrics for how the light gets in, (@bingusmode) i am going to be thinking about these on REPEAT for the next MONTH BRUV

little bit of darkness, treat me like a toy

i got my hopes up and got them destroyed

bitter taste of regret sitting heavy on my tongue

can’t believe i let you convince me that you were the one

sitting here in silence, fabric running thin

petals burning in my lungs and stealing oxygen

embers from a cigarette falling to the floor

god i can’t take anymore

so i stumble to the window and pull the shades

and the moon pours in like you threw a grenade

i can’t understand why

i keep trying

cuz i never seem to win

but having any hope is how the light gets in

from there, moment before impact ft. Billie Eilish is a club anthem along the lines of bad guy or COPYCAT, bass heavy with a drop that’s out of this world.

powdered pain, i’m in your veins / i’m the sting, the drip, the thing / you’re craving, but you hate to see me misbehaving / i heard my breakdown got you high / it’s true, but baby i can’t lie / i never got that rush, that burn / that makes you feel alive, i had to learn / to pick the slippery slope down which i fell / plan my pitstops on the way to hell / to pick my padding before i spiral / so if i break it’ll be in style

watch my misdirect, now freeze, / notice you can’t see the forest for the trees / you’re so desperate for my demise / but baby, i’ll make you watch me rise.

this is the moment before impact

controlled chaos, crash land / take a breath, trust the plan / i know you hope i’m not okay / you get off on my audio misery

controlled chaos, crash land / take a breath, trust the plan / i need you to know i want it this way / my breakdown won me a grammy

and this is the moment before impact

ur my favourite - interlude ft. sykkuno is probably one of my favourites, it’s just really soft, just a snippet of a conversation between the reader and sykkuno, maybe one of them told a joke and they both just sound real happy and sweet. its nice. it’s a nice moment.

means something is also for sykkuno!! it’s about how good-strange it is to be open and honest with friends, and how they usually aren’t but they’re glad they can be open and honest with him!!

meanwhile, i don’t think about u - interlude ft. CORPSE is a phonecall between corpse & the reader right after they announce they’re going to feature on acting like that, where corpse asks if they do this sort of thing to spite him, to which the reader responds ‘do i consider you when i’m making decisions about my career? no, corpse, actually i don’t think about you at all’ which then directly contrasts the song that ends the album, which is (how it feels to be) beautiful fireworks, which is essentially ‘i know how hard it is to exist like this, to be the centre of attention, to give off light and bring people joy, even when you’re in pain. i’m here for you. i love you.’

okay, i swear im done now, i’ll get back to writing the fic! (also i cannot BELIVE i managed to figure out how to embed those playlists but im so happy) edit: it didn’t actually work when i posted the ask, so anyways im sorry but y’all are abt to be spammed with playlists because i care too much abt this fic
