Told ya I would do something sad too~

Mourning AU and Phoebe by @artsygirl0315

Anyway, parallels are fun, right??? You help someone feel a little bit better after they lost a dear friend and years later you're the one being comforted by them because you lost your husband...

Ain't life cruelly curious, sometimes?

Me gustas tú

Inspired by this song

Summary: The straw hats take a well-deserved day of rest. While they are on the ship, you and Luffy will go ashore and spend a day on the beach.

Word count: 1.476

Pairing: Luffy x GN!reader

Warnings: slightly canon divergence, sfw, Y/N use, Luffy confessing his feelings, beta read, If I forgot something, let me know.

The Going Merry disembarked and docked at a dock near a lonely beach on a desert island, ideal for a break from aimless sailing. The first to jump onto the sand was Luffy, running like a lynx and climbing like a monkey, he jumped from the deck and landed with a somersault, spreading the sand in the form of a cloud that made the others cough. The captain's shouts of joy were contagious and you suddenly found yourself laughing at his antics. Nami and you went down like civilized people admiring the saline and clear sea water of a turquoise color like quartz. Zoro and Ussop followed behind you while Sanji stayed in the kitchen for a while finishing washing the dishes.

Luffy ran and jumped waving his arms along the seashore smiling widely, he looked like a child who had just seen the beach for the first time. Nami next to you elbowed you laughing

"I can't imagine what he'll be like when he sees the tundra."

"Or the jungle"-You followed the joke

Then each one went to their own side to do different activities. Nami sat on the ground resting on a towel in the sun, Ussop stayed practicing with his slingshot near some palm trees and Zoro stayed with one shoulder leaning on the wood of the boat, in the shade. You took advantage of the fact that you had your swimsuit under your clothes and you took off your shirt and pants, revealing your navy blue swimsuit and you ran to jump in the waves.

Luffy, seeing you, ran towards you and copied your movements, going deeper into the sea and jumping high every time he saw a small wave coming, causing the foam to splash and hit you in the face.

"Luffy stop! You're soaking me!"-You said laughing as you put your hands forward to avoid the water.

He turned around smiling, lowering his hat until it fell on his back still held by the cord around his neck "But isn't that what the sea and the beach are for? Of course you will get wet!"

"But not like that Luff- Oh!"

Luffy hugged you around the waist and lifted you into the air to put you against his shoulder and go deeper into the water. You screamed in surprise while the other straw hats laughed at your situation. The captain was happy as a clam and ignored your fists against his bare back demanding that he put you down.

"MONKEY D. LUFFY PUT ME DOWN NOW!"

"Uhhh (y/n) said his full name, the boy is in trouble."-Zoro mocked from afar.

"Okay, okay, but don't be angry!"-Luffy said

Luffy laughingly let you go and you fell on your butt into the water just as a large wave crashed into your back and pushed you forward, getting your head wet. When you was able to regain your balance you was spitting out salt water in disgust. You gave a murderous look at Luffy who quickly dropped his usual wide and confident smile.

"And now is when he will start running, in 3..2…-" -Nami said

"LUFFY YOU ARE DEAD MAN!!!"

The brown boy ran like hell, stumbling on the sand in fear while you ran after him waving your fist in the air.

"SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, DON'T HIT ME!"

Ussop and Zoro had approached Nami and sat on the sand ready to watch the show.

“I bet (y/n) gets to him first.”-she said

"And I bet that Luffy is wins, he is more agile and faster"

Nami looked at him with a slightly offended raised eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Ok, what do we bet?"

"Wait are you really going to bet on (y/n) and our captain?"-Ussop asked confused but amused.

"5,000 berries" -Zoro said ignoring the boy.

"Bet"

The two sealed the pact while Ussop shook his head laughing. After a while watching the two crew members run as if they were playing hide and seek, Nami, smiling proudly, saw how you knocked Luffy to the ground with a tackle.

"You owe me those berries…" -Nami smiled mischievously at an angry Zoro.

Later the only ones left on the beach were you and Luffy, the others decided that they had had enough of the sun and took refuge on the deck of the ship with their elbows resting on the railing looking at the two of you. You and your captain were sitting together, one on each side, on the white sand with your legs stretched out and your hands behind you, admiring how the burning sun fell on the horizon, turning the sky a bright red. You sighed, closing your eyes and reveling in the salty breeze and the song of the seagulls soaring through the clouds. Luffy next to you couldn't focus on anything but your beauty. He looked at your face instead of concentrating on the nature that surrounded him because being next to you, who cared about everything else? Even the most beautiful flower or the warmest sun did not compare to everything you were to him.

You threw your head back, smiling even with your eyes closed, and the captain came closer to your side, bumping his shoulder into yours. At that touch you opened your eyes in surprise and when you turned your head to see him you found his brown eyes staring into his and a sweet smile on his lips. Being close to him always meant that the environment would be charged with electricity and Luffy is a very hyperactive and energetic being like a puppy. It wasn't the same as sitting near Nami or Sanji whose energy was calmer, no. Luffy emanated sparks and joy throughout his body and even though he was sitting it was as if his anxious molecules could not be still, as if behind that mischievous smile and those mischievous eyes there were hidden intentions to keep moving and jump from here to there. Luffy was always on the move

"Is something the matter?"-You asked because of his insistent, somewhat goofy look.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just got lost in your gaze."

You laughed shaking your shoulders and he laughed with you without stopping to look at you, and thinking that the flirt was Sanji. You slapped his arm with the back of your hand.

"Don't talk nonsense Luffy, the only one who can flirt here is the cook"

Suddenly, smiling, the boy in the straw hat stood in front of you, very close to your face, with his arms at your sides, caging your torso.

"Of! Luffy what are you-?"-you said startled

"Listen, I want to tell you something important."

Luffy swallowed and seemed more anxious than usual, besides he never spoke so seriously, you didn't know whether to worry or not.

"Ok yeah sure, I'm listening"

He sighed and his breath hit your face "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while… I like you."

"Aw Luffy I like you too"

He shook his head making his dark curls move. "No no, you misunderstood me. I really like you."

You went blank having understood what the pirate boy had meant. You moved your eyes from right to left, looking into his, feeling that your words were dying on your tongue, unable to pass through your lips.

"(y/n) I love you! Phew I finally said it.."

Luffy seemed happy and relieved to be able to let those three words come out of his mouth, regardless of your answer he already had a smile on his face. You let out a small airy laugh and swallowed hard.

"I think I like you too, I mean, I love you too."

The boy rested his cheek against your belly, tickling you and letting the air escape from your lungs. His grip was strong as if he wanted to squeeze a lemon. You fell back laughing as your hands rubbed his back. Now you understood why he always seemed so clingy to you, close to you like chewing gum. And all those jokes he played on you and the way he always seemed to tease you so you would get angry. Feeling playful, you wrapped your legs around his hips and forcefully turned him over so you could now be on top of him. Luffy fell heavily in the sand and you rested your chin near the junction of his collarbones.

Luffy stroked your damp hair "So you're not angry anymore for throwing you into the sea?"

You rolled your eyes with a lopsided smile. “Oh shut up and come here.”

With both of your hands you grabbed Luffy's chubby cheeks and planted a kiss on his lips. At first he opened his eyes in surprise but then he closed them smiling between your lips. From a distance on the ship you could hear the cheerful whistles and cheers of the crew.

Aubrey Plaza movie & show reviews

i know i'm not the only one obsessed with aubrey rn so i thought i'd rank some of her stuff that i've seen and indicate whether her character is gay or not to help people decide what to watch. i'll keep adding to it and hope others will add their recommendations too!!

starting with the most recent:

1. Agatha All Along (2024 series) - Gay - 10/10 obviously it's why we're all here haha.

2. Megalopolis (2024 film) - Not gay - worst movie i've ever seen in my life lmao. however you get the incomparable experience of watching a bitchy blonde aubrey plaza sit on a dude's face so. also all her outfits are incredible??? 0/10 don't bother watching, aubrey is only in a few scenes so just skip around to find those.

3. My Old Ass (2024 film) - Gay - 10/10 watch this asap! i laughed i cried, like in the best way. aubrey is only in a couple scenes, a longer one kinda towards the beginning and then a short one at the end, she also does voiceovers throughout. her character is bisexual and the focus is a mlw relationship. she's fantastic in it and the whole movie is excellent, loved maisy stella too and their chemistry together.

4. Operation Fortune (2023 film) - Not gay - action movies aren't usually my thing but aubrey plays the role of a sexy hacker spy like she was born for it and i loved every second haha. i wish the script had lived up to her potential but it was still a fun watch. 8/10 for that one gold dress ALONE

5. Emily the Criminal (2022 film) - Not gay - 10000/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND my personal favorite so far!!! Aubrey co-produced and she plays the main character. when i tell you this woman had me ACTINGG UPPPPPP in this sweet mother of all that is holy- she looks so good in every scene and it's genuinely great start to finish. boyfriend aubrey plaza save me 🙏

6. Spin Me Round (2022 film) - Gay - ok so this movie is batshit but there's a truly incredible makeout scene with alison brie's character... aubrey is only there for like 1/3 of the movie but she steals every scene and looks soooo good in it, amazing costume design. i'll give it a 6/10 for that and her chemistry with alison.

7. Best Sellers (2021 film) - Not gay - i loved this one!! aubrey's talent and range blew me away, and it's a heartfelt story. she stars as a publishing company heiress who develops a father-daughter bond with an old cranky author. definitely up there with emily the criminal & black bear as some of her best work. 9/10

8. The White Lotus (2021-ongoing series) - Not gay - aubrey stars in season 2, which you can jump right into if you want because each season is a stand-alone story. i enjoyed s1 as a satire about different types of social privilege, s2 was way less interesting and i found myself just waiting for the next time aubrey was on screen lol. but she's amazing in a dramatic role and wears so many bikinis lord forgive meee- 7/10 overall.

9. Happiest Season (2020 film) - Gay - everyone has seen this, but aubrey plaza and kristen stewart in the same movie is WAY too powerful i think i blacked out at one point. alison brie is great too. 8/10 minus a couple because of the stupid ending and idk its a lil cheesy haha.

10. Black Bear (2020 film) - Not gay - another one that she co-produced and starred in. ill be honest it was too straight for me to really enjoy lmao. its a meta dive into the indie film industry that went over my head at times but it's thought-provoking and clearly very personal to aubrey's life and career, especially how she works so closely with her husband. she is insanely insanely hot in it and really showcases her talent so ill give it a 7/10.

11. Child's Play (2019 film) - Not gay - tbh i thought this movie was hilarious loll. aubrey stars as the mom, i wish there'd been more of a focus on her, it's more from the son's perspective but she's awesome in it and it's cool to see her in a different type of role. 6/10 it was good as far as slasher comedies go.

12. An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn (2018 film) - Not gay - i dont even know what to say about this one dlkjfdl. 1/10 aubrey is the only good part.

13. The Little Hours (2017 film) - Gay - bro this one is a RIDE... aubrey plaza as a crazy heretical nun is one of the funniest things i've everrrr seen. she co-produced and stars in it again with alison brie. hilarious movie for its target audience (me), aubrey kisses 2 women and there's one scene in particular that uhh 🥵 well. no sorry i mustn't say. 10/10 movie (in my very subjective opinion loll). tw for sexual assault.

14. Ingrid Goes West (2017 film) - Not gay - she co-produced and stars in this opposite elizabeth olsen. aubrey is always at home playing freakish characters and the movie is pretty entertaining. i was disappointed by the glaring lack of gay subtext haha but ill give it a 7/10. tw for attempted suicide.

15. Legion (2017-2019 series) - Gay - this show was so boring but i guess kinda interesting sometimes? haha she appears in most episodes only briefly and unfortunately this has to be the hottest character she's ever played, she's sooo in her element just being totally unhinged. her best eps are 1x06, 2x05 (🫢), second half of 2x09 (hooks up with a girl), honorable mention to 2x10/11 bc she's only in a couple scenes but looks so good. season 3 she gets a little more consistent screen time dressed like a hippie if you can imagine, also somehow gets a woman pregnant? LOL idk i lost the plot at some point... good luck if you decide to watch (you definitely should). 4/10

16. Addicted to Fresno (2015 film) - Gay - aubrey plays the love interest to natasha lyonne's character in this. she's only in a handful of scenes and i love natasha but their chemistry wasnt great here imo. it has a happy ending though and it's a fun like black comedy rom com, there's one cute kiss at the end. plus sweaty gym clothes 😶 i'll give it a 5/10.

17. The To Do List (2013 film) - Not gay - i probably would have liked this more when i was in high school haha but it's still pretty funny. she plays the nerdy main character experimenting with guys for the first time, so. a lot of what would you would expect with that 😭 god is real that's all i can tell you, 7/10

18. Parks and Recreation (2009-2015 series) - Not gay - this is the one she's famous for of course but for anyone who hasn't seen it, she gets a decent amount of screen time in an ensemble cast playing an adorably chaotic intern. 8/10 recommend if you're looking for a half hour sitcom, it's a great time :)

19. Criminal Minds (2005-ongoing series) - Gay - i only watched 4 episodes so can't speak on the quality of the show as a whole but i loved her soo much in it. she plays a femme fatale hitwoman which is the perfect aubrey role lmao. there are mentions of her relationships with women, but the focus is on her interest in a guy. She stars in 11x11, 12x22, and 15x6. also makes a brief appearance at the end of 12x21. 8/10 no complaints, totally worth watching for her.

i hope this is helpful to someone and please add more reviews if you'd like!

[the-mechanica]

ok but @nessie-gun is visiting tomorrow and I LUFF THEM SO MUCH I am so excited

[akwolfgrl]

Part 8 LFT I have no idea how everyone would take oatmeal lol but the eggs is all oda. I didn't come up with it.

As soon as everyone was seated, Sanji bought out breakfast. He had his notebook and pen on the table already so he could write down how everyone liked thire oatmeal and thire eggs.Sanji placed the large pot on the table and one by one filled the bowls with plain oatmeal.

"Now if there something you want in it that's not on the table I'll get it for you if we have it,"

"Cinnamon?" Ussop asked after placing apples, brown sugar and a splash of milk in his bowl.

"I can do, is there anything else?"

"Got any nuts?" Zoro asked not even bothering to look at him.

"Yes I have a few,"

"I'm all good here," Nami said, spooning some of the Mikan jam into her oatmeal.

"OK I'll be right back," Sanji turned and went to grab the cinnamon and nuts. Did Zoro regat last night? Or was one night enough for him? What if it hadn't been as good for him as it had been for Sanji? He wasn't sure what was worse. Sanji grated cinnamon into a bowl for Ussop and poured peanuts into a different bowl for the stupid shitty swordsmen he fucked last night. After placeing the bowls with the people who asked, sanji grabed his pen and notebook.

"So I noticed none of you put down how you like your eggs, so Luffy your first, chew and swallow your food first,"

"Sunny side-up, almost raw, with mayonnaise!" Luffy exclaimed after swallowing a slice of ham covered in the oatmeal. "More oatmeal sanji!" He held out his bowl allowing Sanji to ladle in more.

After jotting down Luffs preference he flipped to Namis. "And for you my dear Nami?"

"I enjoy mine Sunny side-up, coddled, with mikan sauce," once again Sanji worte the info down before flipping to Ussops.

"Over-easy, coddled, with ketchup," Usopp informed him without being prompted.

"Over-easy, slowly cooked, with shoyu," Zoro grunted at him before Sanji even finished writing down Ussops.

"Fucking rude, at least let me finish with Ussop before you but in asshole," Sanji snapped before jotting down both of thire eggs.

"What do you like Sanji?" Luffy asked him.

"Oh? Umm I like mine over-easy, coddled, with karakuchi sauce, I like spicy foods almost as much as I love seafood," Sanji told him.

After one had their fill and the dishes cleared Nami pulled out a map.

<>

"We're getting close to the grandline. Sanji, how are the provisions?" Nami asked Sanji who while still paying attention was busy cleaning his kitchen, why did he look so dam good in that stupid pink appron?

"They're low, we have enough for about two days, are there any islands nearby?"

"As a matter of fact there is one, there is a famous city called logue town, we should arrive there by tonight," Nami said pointing at someplace on her map. "We can split up and do some shopping, stay a few days before making our way to the grandline,"

"Great, I need new swords," Zoro said, he felt almost naked with only one, as if a part of him was missing. He was however grateful that Wado at least was still around; this sword had been with him the longest and was very precious to him.

He was ignoring sanji at the moment, Zoro was confused. Last night hadn't been his first time having sex but it had been the best he's ever had, he found himself wanting more. More than just sex, he wanted everything.

Soon they all went their separate ways, Luffy went to take a nap after being on watch last night, Ussop headed to the back of the ship to work on his experiments, Nami sat on her lawnchair reading a magazine and Sanji was doing his mid morning stenches. Zoro watched him from under his lashes feigning a nap. The man was so flexible if it wasn't for Luffy being made of rubber he'd been the most flexible human he'd even seen. Zoro had a taste of that last night and made him hungry for more. He was clueless on where to start, how did one go about making someone like you for more than sex? Zoro had never wanted more then just wex, but starting Sanji his hair aglow in sunlight, he wanted to try for him.

Zoro waited for the cook to return to the kitchen before making his way over to Nami. He stood in front of her casting a shadow across her body.

"Can I help you? If not your in my sun, so move,"

"Shut up, I need help. How do you get someone to like you for more than sex?"

Nami smirked at him putting her magazine down, Zoro didn't like the look she was giving him. She was the only one he goto for this advice and help.

"Zoro, are you asking for help wooing Sanji?" Nami asked with a wicked grin.

[underthehedge]

Ok but the electronic voice was wrong about Loughborough too. It's not lag-boro (/ˈlɑːɡboʊroʊ/), it's luff-buruh (/ˈlʌfbərə/). Ok, boro/buruh is accental differences I guess but yeah, the first ough is an uff sound in that one.

Moar Characters 😎

♥️✂️🍎🧠💀

-🍫

YEAAAH YOU THE GOAT THIS IS MORE THAN OK!!! <3 Putting it under a read more cause it gonna get lengthy LOL

Luctus:

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Probably when he found out he was gonna get a baby brother!!! He loves Spero so much, even if nowadays they don't get to talk as much ;; But he would do anything for him!

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

The big fight he had with Alacritas ;; He's too proud to admit how badly it hurt him so he just fcked off to hell and called it a day dfvjdf

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

He really likes hanging out with his dad Culpa when he can, but he's always busy doing stuff. He does however seek him out for guidance on important matters. Him and his mama used to be very close and to a degree they still are, which is why their distance between the two of them hurts them both so much.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

I like his over the top fashion (lol) and his little shit personality. Also he's really pretty and I just love that for him lmao

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

He's super afraid of spiders lol and clowns to a degree.

Decim:

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

When he built his greenhouse! He felt a sense of accomplishment cause he didn't use any magic to help him and he didn't ask anyone for their help. And then even more happiness when it got filled with rare and exotic plants that he grew with love (and lets be real, most of his magic was involved in that part lol)

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Well losing Unus was one of them, but more than that actually was seeing what Novem was doing, disposing of the rogue reapers. He'll never forgot how much despair it seemed to cause Novem to be killing reapers, so he tried to find some alternative and 'cure' for rogueness so his poor brother would never have to do this again. And of course, to save the reapers from being culled.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

It's strained, definitely. He's mad at Mortem for not helping Novem more than he does and he feels estranged from his family in general for being the youngest and the 'weird' one.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

He's a good boy!!! I love how earthy he is and I'm a sucker for plant based OCs hehe.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Not really? None that I can think of anyway, he doesn't get spooked easily lol

Tronic:

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

After one particularly bad time in the lab when he was still a rat, his old handler fed him a bunch of sunflower seeds and how he found out he loved them and his handler just patched up his wounds and took care of him ;;

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

When he awoke as a humanobestia and saw his poor handler dying from the radiation poisoning that seemed to take everyone else in the lab.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

He never met his parents sadly ;;

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

I luff him, he's cool and tragic and I ADORE RATTIES!!!

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Probably something funny like clowns, mostly because I can't imagine he's seen one before. Not as funny, but needles as well sobs

Nezumi:

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

I'm...not 100% sure yet I'm still working out the story elements with the zodiac gods dfdfh boring answer I know I'm sorry!

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Same as above 😭

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

I don't know if they have parents actually dfsvhjdfshj It's either they came into existence millennia ago OR they inherited their powers also a long ass time ago. Oh this section is boring I'm so sorry.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

He's a little shit and also like I said, I adore rats!!! <3

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Probably spiders cause it would be funny lol

Umbra:

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

When he passed his certification exam to be a dialysis tech! He had never worked harder for anything in his life!

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Oh Umbra 😭 Definitely the obvious answer, seeing his mom being dead.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

He never knew his dad, he walked out before he was born. Him and his mom were super, super close. He would have gladly died for her.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

I'm biased af he's my favorite LOL Bastard supreme and he's pookie!! LMAO The serious answer is I love how complex and tragic he is but also what a straight bastard he is.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

He'll never ever admit it but he's afraid of heights, has been ever since he was a human. Being on the roof of a small building is OK, but he refuses to do thrill rides or like, the Eiffel Tower.

MUSE TOUR STORIES - ROCK SOUND (1999)

WORDS & PHOTOS: WILLIAM LUFF

IT'S SOMETHING OF A SHOCK TO LAND A RECORD DEAL IN AMERICA WITH MADONNA WHEN YOU'VE JUST LEFT SCHOOL. BUT FOR MUSE, IT'S MERELY THE FIRST STEPS IN A CAREER THAT'S GOING TO SEE THEM TAKE ON THE WORLD AND WIN. SO WE JUMPED ON THEIR TOUR BUS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THEIR IMPENDING RISE TO STARDOM.

Devon is a beautiful county but for young, ambitious teenagers the delights of peace and tranquillity are hard to fathom when the bright lights of fame and fortune beckon. Muse's hometown of Teignmouth is a pretty seaside resort, dead in winter but on a sunny day like today, it's bustling with life. Jet-skis race around the pier and the sound of holidaymakers echoes along the seafront. Bass player Chris Wolstenholme lives with his girlfriend and 12-day old baby on the west side of town, while both singer/guitarist Matt Bellamy and drummer Dominic Howard's parents live here. Matt however, spends most of his time staying in London with his girlfriend. It's a lifestyle that will be stretched further as the promotion for the impending release of their debut album 'Showbiz' picks up.

TONIGHT MUSE ARE 20 MILES UP THE coast in Exeter, halfway through a tour with co-headliners Cay. When we meet them later nerves are a little on edge. Chris is friendly and Dom is polite, but Matt's kinda wary. Two days ago another music paper interviewed Cay and got singer Anet so drunk she fell off stage. Matt felt that they set her up, and consequently is not so keen to have a journalist travelling with them. Strangely, his initial coldness is appealing. Sat in stylish, patterned trousers chatting to his manager, he's every inch the rock star in waiting. Finding out that his preferred tipple is champagne, and he's a lover of gourmet food is the final proof. Before he's even got on stage his charisma is obvious. But that's not to say he's arrogant or aloof. As Matt explains later, over a bottle of wine, "Before a gig I get really nervous and unhappy, but after a gig I feel totally replenished. I've been sick before gigs and I have problems being around crowds of people. But I find the second I hit the stage I'm OK." And when he hits the stage at Exeter's Cavern Club, he's more than OK. He's quite simply jaw-dropping.

Film cameras cram the room for the benefit of their US label Maverick and Muse put on an electrifying performance. Their music twists and burns with melancholy energy and rage, but has such incredible beauty at its core that it becomes irresistible. To hear instant classics such as 'Uno', 'Falling Down', 'Agitated', 'Unintended' and new single 'Cave', in such a small sweatbox is a privilege that the crowd will treasure when Muse are headlining stadiums in later years. Matt is consumed by the music, nearly eating the microphone and pouring out his soul with the passion and falsetto grace of Jeff Buckley. 'Fillip' in particular is like hearing the singing of angels.

AFTERWARDS THE OVER-WHELMED crowd stream out of the venue and Muse are ushered on to their impressive tour bus to film an interview for American TV. Chris then races home to catch a last night with his baby whilst Dom and Matt hit the bar with abandon. The party continues on the bus as we drive out of Exeter en-route for Liverpool.

The Deftones, Tom Waits, Nirvana and Travis jostle for space on the stereo, the road crew produce more weed than the annual harvest in Jamaica and the fridge downstairs is laden with beer from the band's rider. Matt grins with the knowledge of a fantastic show behind them and is for the first time utterly relaxed with 'the journo' in his midst. "Always glad to have smokers on board," he says by way of welcome as merchandise man Alain skins up another monster. It's an essential part of touring. "Yeah, hash, beer, the usual," laughs Matt. "Oh, and my computer. I like to keep in touch with the fans, you know," he chortles. "A towel is the most important thing." believes Dom. "I keep forgetting one. You go and have a shower and come out dripping, and…" "Clean clothes," interjects Matt. "I've had the same pants on, I've slept in them, for ooh… I don't want to think about it! I usually just buy new boxers." You should add socks and pants to your rider. Matt nods, "In America you can pretty much get what you want on your rider. Pants, socks, champagne, hardcore porn…" Dom: "Bags of weed…" Matt: "We were dealing away in Munich to Everlast, and he was forever grateful. We'd asked our record company to get a bit for us and they got us so much we had to share it around. Can't take it on planes, can we Dom?" Dom laughs a guilty laugh and decides it's time for bed. Considering we've already watched the sun rise somewhere past Bristol we agree and hunt down a spare bunk. Ahh, bliss…. Until 11.30am when we awake, fully clothed in what feels like an oven. Oh God, the wine, the beer, the drugs… Where are we?

IN A SERVICE STATION NEAR Manchester it transpires. Matt has gone to get some food and Yorkie, the driver has moved the bus. Result, one missing lead singer and Rick, the tour manager is non-too pleased. In fact. he's bawling out Yorkie and I'm scrabbling round for painkillers. When Matt is finally found he sits down for a quick chat which leads to their impending stardom.

"Things are getting quite surreal already," he tells me. "People keep talking about stardom, but surely a lot of bands get that, and then the album comes out and it flops… The thing we've got is we're aware of how it all works. We're hands on with the creative side, and we've learnt there's so much more. There's interviews and photos and artwork. In America the video is more important than the album and I sussed that out before we made any deals. I'm not interested in all the lawyers and meetings but you've got to have control over the creative side. If all you're interested in is the music then you're gonna get a bit shafted." Strange to hear such experienced words coming from someone with such an innocently gorgeous voice. Where did you learn to sing like that?

"I've only started to sing properly in the last two years. I was whispering before and I'd had enough of people telling us we had to get a new singer. We wrote 'Cave' and I realised the only way I could get that note was to give it some fucking nuts and it changed my vocal chords, doing that song at every gig. And y'know, that changed the way I wrote songs.

So have you been enjoying the tour? "Oh yeah, we've never played Liverpool before, and it's really nice to be playing to new people the whole time. Not so nice when those people are trying to rip the fuel caps off your bus and help themselves to the TV, video, fridge etc. "Keep the doors locked, " shouts drum tech Sean as we pull up at the Lomax. "There's some dodgy guys outside."

"THE LAST DAY OFF WE HAD I JUST HAD TO BE ALONE IN A ROOM, NAKED, REMEMBERING WHO I WAS" — MATT BELLAMY

THANKFULLY, THE BUS IS STILL THERE after the soundcheck and the band (Chris has arrived on the train) settle down to do another radio interview. In the tradition of all bands, there's promotion to fill the day, but a lot of time is spent sitting round with nothing to do. "I don't mind." Matt maintains, "it's more interesting than what I used to do - painting and decorating." Dom agrees. "Touring on a bus you're waking up in a different city every day. I went down to the Cavern club today. It's a weird little place. It had a metal model of John Lennon outside." Do you hang out with other bands a lot? "Not so much," says Matt. "At festivals you see lots of bands, but you don't hang out, you just look at them. You don't want to talk to them particularly. Mind you I did stand with Courtney Love and Brian Molko at the side of the stage to watch Bush in Germany. All you could hear backstage was Courtney's voice hollering around." Will you ever get that famous? "I think you need more than music for that kind of fame. You need to have had a life that's fucked up. A husband that shot himself…"

SO IF YOU DON'T WANT FAME, WHY do you do this? Is it for the lifestyle and the music? "I dunno," Matt says, with a self conscious laugh. "It's lack of faith, lack of religion, lack of spirituality in the world and we're trying to communicate with people. We're trying to start up something, a big cult. I haven't figured it out yet, but we're doing something big."

So what do you write about? (huge pause) "Um… it's big stuff. It's to do with deep emotional stuff."

So you're yet another writer of angst? "Erm, er…I wouldn't say angst. It's bigger than that!" Dom and Chris fall about laughing. Matt continues, "It's more like there's no religion, and what there is sucks, and because of that there's a big hole in our lives that we're all trying to fill up with computers and TVs and things like that. Playing the music is what fills the void for me."

Did you always want to be in a band? Chris: "God no, I wanted to be a surgeon. Cut up people, ha ha." Matt: "I wanted to be a paramilitary instructor, or a scuba diving instructor. Something that was outside. I couldn't do that nine to five thing." Do you miss your friends and family on tour? Especially Chris, now you have a kid. Chris nods, "Yeah, it's difficult, but it's what we've wanted to do for years." "You bring it upon yourself really," says Matt. "There are drawbacks there's not much personal time, the last day off we had I just had to be alone in a room, naked, remembering who I was (laughs)." Chris: "Wow, that's extreme. But there are more drawbacks in other jobs. The only drawback of being on tour is that you miss your family. Whereas in other jobs, you're like 'Fucking hell, I hate my job…"

Are your parents proud? Dom shakes his head slightly. "Mine are now. For a while it was tough. They kept asking. 'What are you doing?' They'd never been big music fans anyway. No one in my family was a musician and they had a lot of trouble grasping exactly what we were doing." Matt's had a happier time. "My mum was pretty fine. In fact, my mum told me to do this when she was really pissed. She was going 'I know the future.' It was really intense, I was only about 11, and I was going 'Fucking hell!' But I believed her." Chris: "We were lucky at High School 'cos it had a good music department, lots of equipment that we could use." Matt giggles loudly. "That's only 'cos Miss Bird fancied you, and she really fancied Dom and she hated me. She kissed your arse Dom. In fact we bumped into her the other day and she was kissing your arse all over again. I was like, 'Hey, what about me!' ha ha. There's so many people coming out of the woodwork now, who really hated us and they're all like, 'Oh, wow!""

Later on, before we take our leave of Muse, they lay waste to Liverpool with a devastating set. Ecstatic bursts of guitar fill the room as 'Sunburn' takes flight and during 'Escape' Matt hammers his guitar so much, the strings snap right off. Afterwards relaxing in the dressing room with a beer and a new bunch of converts downstairs, it seems that they're having the last laugh, over all their teenage detractors. Revenge is sweet!

ROADCREW

Alain Sullivan, merchandise. "I heard 'Unintended' and thought it was an instant number one. They're going all the way, nothing's going to stop them."

Sean Barret, monitor engineer & drum tech. "One night a girl was peeing against the bus and she couldn't see us 'cos of the black windows. It went on for ages. Bully and I nearly died laughing. We were very drunk."

Rick Wolkers, tour manager. "I used to do the sound at Exeter Cavern when they were really young. They're the only band I've ever lost my temper with, 'cos they trashed the stage and ruined another band's equipment."

Bully, guitar tech and 'miserable bastard'. "We've left other band members behind before. We once went miles before anyone noticed Chris had disappeared."
