I got sidetracked while I was looking for my top posts of 2023.
I found this fascinating in a self absorbed kind of way. It is entirely possible that nobody else will be interested, but since this is my blog, I'll post whatever I like.
My first original post was on May 7, 2012
And since then I have made 3723 original posts.
My most popular post, by far, is this video:
I had to delete it a few years ago because the stream of notes was driving me nuts. This was before we could mute things like that. I'm not going to say how many notes, as that is not the point of this exercise. What I would like to know though, is what is it that people find so appealing about this? After all as someone pointed out, I have a leaking gutter.
I have the same question with the rest of the photos on this list. I know why I took them, but why are these popular when others are not?
Over the years I've posted a number of photos and videos of the very photogenic river behind my house.
This one makes me think of @mojo5050 , who unfortunately hasn't been active here in quite some time. It is nowhere near as good as their work, but I figure if I keep practicing maybe someday ...
This one brings to mind the Queen of the Enchanted Forest, who, also no longer active here, is greatly missed.
I'd go back to Wales in a New York Minute.
Happy New Year everyone.

JINJER's TATIANA SHMAILYUK Celebrates Seven Months Of Sobriety
Vocalist Tatiana Shmailyuk of Ukrainian modern metal frontrunners JINJER is celebrating seven months of sobriety.
On Saturday (July 15),the 36-year-old singer shared a new mirror selfie on Instagram and she captioned it: "#7monthssober today. Let's see how far I can get".
Last December, Tatiana spoke to Radioactive MikeZ, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM program "Wired In The Empire", about how she met her husband, former SUICIDE SILENCE and current P.O.D. touring drummer Alex Lopez. She said: "I met him through Internet. Of course, he was a famous person in the heavy music industry. So I liked him. And then it kind of happened that they [SUICIDE SILENCE] invited us to be a support act for them in Bratislava, Slovakia back in 2017. So I was, like, 'Well, that's destiny.' We took a picture together after the show. And then we started chatting through Internet. It was not very consistent talk — once a month, once every three months, short [messages]. And then we were talking about us, JINJER, coming to the States, and at that time it seemed impossible to come here, because, oh my God. [Laughs] And a year after, in 2018 I think, we went to the United States supporting CRADLE OF FILTH. And he came to our show to say hi and stuff. And then here and there, that's how it happened. So I think I made it happen. [Laughs]"
When Radioactive MikeZ noted that she was the "aggressive one," Tatiana clarified: "Not aggressive, no. I just was more enthusiastic. You know what I mean. Sometimes women have to do the first step to get what we want. [Laughs]"
Tatiana also talked about what it was about Alex's appearance that first drew her to him. She said: "Yeah, I felt like he looks like me, but like a male version of me. We're both shorties, brown eyes, brown hairs. I love Mexican culture, and he's full-blown Mexican."
Asked how she likes living in Whittier, California, where she shares a home with Lopez, Tatiana said: "Well, I like it because it's in the middle of everything — 30 minutes to downtown L.A., 30 minutes to Laguna Beach, 30 minutes to another beach to another beach and another beach, and then an hour to Big Bear mountains. So it's the perfect location. But I don't go out much because, honestly, I didn't find anything to go out to. [Laughs] And I have a lot of work to do, so I'm just sitting there chilling in the house, enjoying the sun and hummingbirds flying here and there. So, [it's] pretty cool. I love California in general — it's a beautiful place. I don't think there's a big difference between [Whittier] and another small town somewhere in California."
JINJER will embark on its own headline tour following the band's support dates on DISTURBED's 2023 "Take Back Your Life" trek with fellow special guests BREAKING BENJAMIN. The headline trek kicks off on September 7 in Huntsville, Alabama, making stops across Canada and the U.S., including Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto and more before wrapping up in Vancouver on September 25. Several of the tour's stops are produced by Live Nation.
JINJER played its first live show since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on June 10, 2022 at last year's edition of the Greenfield Festival, which was held in Interlaken, Switzerland. The concert took place just days after it was announced that JINJER had been given permission from authorities to leave their war-torn nation and tour Europe as ambassadors of the country.

“All of the songs are about you”
Requested by anon: Hi, first of all I want to thank you for all your amazing work that you share with us, I absolutely adore everything that you write!!! Secondly, I was wondering if I could request something with Sebastian, where reader is a famous singer and younger than him, and when they reveal their relationship, people start saying that he is only using her and he gets worried that she will leave him for someone her age. Once again, thank you! 😚
Word count: 2k
Author's note: Thank you for your kind words dear nonnie! I hope you like it.
Warning(s): language
Feedback is always appreciated and don’t forget to reblog and like if you enjoyed it and want to see more. Thank you!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Both of you being famous wasn't easy with you being a singer and Sebastian being an actor. Especially when you wanted to keep your relationship a secret and you were quite younger than him. You have been dating for a while now and you couldn't be more in love with him. He was your muse for many of your songs, but the fans didn't know that. They did notice though that you started writing more love songs than before. You got questions about it almost every day, but you never answered them. They had their speculations, but you never confirmed any of it. It might be selfish, but you wanted to keep him all to yourself and both of you agreed to wait a little more before going public. He was promoting his new movie and you didn't want people to think that you announced your relationship only to give more publicity to it. But sometimes the universe doesn't care what you want.
It was a normal day, like any other, when you were at Sebastian's house and you started craving some McDonald's. The weather was nice for the time being past 10 pm so you decided to go out to buy it instead of ordering. It was dark already so you weren't afraid that anybody would see or recognize you. It was a five minute walk from his house and you thought it would be nice have a short walk. You waited for Sebastian to lock the front door then started walking down the street hand in hand. It probably wasn't the best idea, but you really didn't think that any paparazzi would be near you. You went into the fast food place to buy what you needed, then started walking back to his place, laughing at a story he was telling you. You loved these late night walks, the dark giving you a sense of comfort.
"Baby" he stopped walking as still giggled, making you stop as well. You turned to him, eyebrows raised in question, a smile still on your face. "I love you" he blurted out, intently looking at you, waiting for your reaction. He never said it before, despite dating for almost 6 months now. You didn't say it either yet, not wanting to make him uncomfortable or rush him. After his last relationship he wanted to be extra sure when saying the three words and you understood him. Your heart skipped a few beats at his confession, the smile widening on your lips.
"I love you too, Seb." you beamed, stepping closer to him and pulling him into a hug.
"Thank god." he mumbled into your hair, making you pull away.
"What do you mean 'thank god'? How could I not feel the same way about you? Haven't you heard the songs I wrote lately?" you asked jokingly in disbelief, but knowing he didn't mean it like that.
"You know what I mean" he blushed under the light of the streetlamp.
"I do" your arms going around his neck you pulled him down into a deep kiss. When you broke apart you walked back to his house to finally eat.
What you didn't realize was that there was a paparazzi following you, getting the perfect angle of your kiss, taking a series of photos.
The next morning you were woken up by your phone essentially exploding with calls and messages. You groaned as you reached for it, barely being able to touch it as Sebastian refused to let go of your waist.
"Why is your phone waking us up at the ass crack of dawn?" he groaned, rubbing his eyes.
"I don't know" you unlocked it to see at least 25 calls from your manager and another few from friends and family. Around the same amount of texts were sent as well, making you sit up in bed, confused. "Something is wrong." he sat up at your tone to look at your phone. You dialed your manager, putting it on speaker. She picked up right away.
"What the fuck are you doing?" she almost screamed into the device, making Sebastian look at you.
"I was sleeping. It's 7 am." you explained.
"Care to tell me why is you and Sebastian kissing plastered on every news site on the internet right now?" your whole world stopped at her words.
"What did you say?" Sebastian spoke up as you were still frozen in your spot.
"Oh your partner in crime is there too? Great. I don't have to say this twice." she was being sarcastic, but you didn't care. You just wanted an explanation.
"Tell us what is happening, please" you pleaded.
"There are multiple pictures of you going around. They are claiming that they took them last night." she explained, but that wasn't enough.
"What pictures?" you asked.
"Pictures of you holding hands and kissing." you ran your hand through your hair.
"Fuck" Sebastian sighed.
"That's an understatement." you heard shuffling on the other side. "So I recommend you guys figure out what you are going to do and do it real fast because it is getting out of hand."
"Yeah, sure we will do that." he took the phone from you. "Thanks."
"Just doing my work." she ended the call with a sigh. Sebastian looked at you as you stared at your legs, deep in thought.
"Hey" he brushed his hand up your back, shaking you out of your mind.
"Yeah?" you looked at him, startled.
"We need to do something." he explained.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. What should we do? Go public? I mean we don't really have any other choice." you furrowed your brows.
"Do you want that?" he wanted you to be hundred percent okay with whatever you were going to do.
"Yes, I just hoped it wouldn't happen like this." you sighed. "Do you want that?" you asked back.
"Yes. We already talked about going public so I guess we will have to do it now." he shrugged.
"How are we doing this then?" you stood up to get dressed, getting ready for the day.
"Posting a video on TikTok?" he grinned.
"Absolutely not. We are not posting on Tiktok." you shook your head, laughing.
"So where do you want it? Facebook?" he raised his eyebrows, joking.
"No." you laughed. "I was thinking about posting a pic on Instagram." you threw out the idea. Both of you used the app a lot so it would be the best choice.
"Okay, let's find a picture." he also stood up.
"Ah-ah" you held out your hand to stop him. "You talk to your manager while I pick out a picture to post on my account and you can post one on yours if you want to. Mine is going to be a surprise." you grinned, already having one in mind. It was your favorite picture of you, taken by a friend without your knowledge. You were in a parking lot at the beach, you sitting on the hood of his car while he was standing between your legs, kissing you. There was a second picture, where you were leaning your forehead against his, both of you laughing at your friends shouting at you to get a room. Both of your faces were clearly seen on them so you decided to post both of them.
'All of the songs are about you' the caption read. In seconds your notifications were blowing up with comments from fans. You didn't want to read them, because you knew how people on the internet could get and you knew that you being younger than him would bother some of them. Sebastian came out of the bedroom to sit next to you.
"You posted it?" he asked, taking out his phone.
"Yep" you smiled. You leaned your head against his shoulder as he opened the app, waiting for his reaction. He immediately searched up your name and tapped on the photo. His thumb froze on the little heart as he read the caption. He put the phone down and grabbed your chin to pull you to his soft lips in a kiss.
"I love you." he mumbled into your lips.
"I love you too." you giggled. He pulled away to pick up the phone to leave a comment. 'If I wrote songs mine would be about you too' you snorted at it. "You are cute"
-
A few days later you had enough courage to check the comments people were leaving online. Maybe it wasn't the best idea.
'Jesus. Isn't he like 12 years older than her?? Gross'
'He is definitely using her lmao but I can't blame him, get that coin king'
'Y'all think she calls him daddy in the bedroom kjsdnhs'
'She is just using him to write songs'
There were nice comments as well, calling you cute together and wishing you well. The mean comments always stuck with you more though and you didn't want Sebastian to read them. It was enough that you went through them. Both of you were a little insecure about your age gap, but you loved each other so you helped the other through the harder times.
You got to his house and walked in as he asked you to not to knock anymore. You found him sitting on his couch, phone in hand. Hoping that he wasn't doing what you thought he was doing you sat down next to him. He had instagram open.
"Seb" you sighed, taking the phone out of his hands.
"What? I just wanted to see what they were saying." he tried to defend himself.
"You shouldn't read these." you shook your head. "So you wanna watch a movie?" you changed the subject. He agreed with your suggestion.
The movie had been playing for a half an hour when he pulled away from your cuddling.
"What if they are right?" his voice was so quiet so almost didn't hear him. You paused the movie to look at him.
"What do you mean?" you asked, confused by his sudden outburst.
"The comments saying that you could do so much better than me" he kept looking at his feet. You sat up and grabbed his chin to turn his head towards you, your heart breaking at his words. This was exactly why you didn't want him to read them.
"Baby" you sighed. "They are not right. Not even by far. I could not find anyone better than you even if I tried. But I'm not trying because I have you with me and you are the best thing that happened to me in a long time. So get that thought out of your head." you stared into his eyes to get your point across.
"But don't you want someone your age?"
"No I don't." you shook your head. "I am perfectly happy with you and I don't need anyone else." you held his cheeks between your palms. "Plus I like it that you are older." you smirked making him chuckle lightly. Climbing onto his lap you pulled him closer. "I love it that you are more experienced." you pressed a soft kiss on his cheek. "I love it that you are taller." a kiss under his ear. "I love it that you are always so so sweet to everyone you meet." a kiss on his nose. Your right hand went into his hair as your lips kissed down to his neck. "And I love the way you make me feel when it's just the two of us." you whispered into his ear, your breath hitting his skin, making him let out a moan. He grabbed your waist in a strong grip. "I love how big your hands are." you nipped at his skin on his neck earning another noise of pleasure and his fingers digging into your skin. "But most importantly" you pulled away so you could look into his eyes to show your sincerity. "I love you. All of you. With everything I have." his eyes softened as he pulled you into a passionate kiss.
"I love you too."

just a slip of the tongue
corpse x fem!reader word count: 1.2k warnings:fluff, mentions of anxiety requested: nope a/n: i’m not sure if i like this fic or not
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
“baby!” y/n shouted as corpse lifted her off the ground and spun her around. “what was that for?”
“i just love you and felt like hugging you,” corpse shrugged. he pulled y/n closer to his chest and kissed the top of her head.
“i love you too, love,” y/n mumbled against his chest. the soft moment was interrupted by y/n’s phone ringing. “why can’t we just stay like this forever?”
“answer the phone and then we can,” corpse sighed with the same pouty tone y/n had used. he wiggled his hand into hers as she picked up the phone. his head found it’s place on y/n’s shoulder as she leaned against him. corpse squeezed her hand reassuringly when he felt her hand shake. he knew how much she hated random phone calls because they increased her anxiety so he always made sure to stay by her side if he could. there was only two things that caused her anxiety to get super bad and they were phone calls and people finding out about her and corpse’s relationship.
“hello?” y/n asked quietly into the phone.
“hey y/n! it’s rae!” rae said cheerfully on the other end.
“oh hey rae!” y/n said, her nerves slowly relaxing. “what’s up?”
“what’s up? oh nothing…just that youtube video you posted a few minutes ago!” are was squealing now. “you’re blowing up!”
“i-i am?” y/n asked softly. she felt the nerves return and squeezed corpse’s hand tighter. corpse pulled her into a protective hug to help calm her down.
“yeah you are! you posted what? thirty minutes ago? it already has like 25 thousand views!” rae exclaimed. she paused when she realized y/n wasn’t matching her enthusiasm. when she spoke again, her voice was much calmer. “everyone wants to know who kept calling you baby during the game.”
“oh,” y/n whispered. only a handful of people knew about corpse and y/n’s relationship, rae included. corpse rubbed y/n’s back as her shoulders slumped. “no one has said anything right?”
“nope! i can remind everyone if you want,” rae asked. like corpse, she knew that the prospect of their relationship getting out had a negative effect on y/n’s mental health and being her best friend, rae wanted to help eliminate it as much as possible.
“no, uh that’s okay. thank you rae,” y/n whispered.
“of course,” rae said, her soft smile evident through the phone. “talk later?”
“sounds good. love you,” y/n mumbled before she hung up. as soon as she hung up she slumped against corpse’s chest and wrapped her arms around his torso. “‘m so sorry bub.”
“oh baby, don’t apologize. it’s not your fault. everything will be okay,” corpse said quietly. y/n balled up his shirt in her hands and dug her head into the crook of his neck, trying to make herself feel as small as possible.
“what should we do?” y/n whispered. corpse thought for a second before he spoke
“i think there’s only two things we can do,” he spoke softly.”we can either ignore the comments or we can tell everyone. i’m okay with whatever you want to do, my love.”
“i just wanted to keep this to ourselves for a while longer. i don’t want every aspect of our relationship to be under a microscope,” she paused before taking a deep breath. "i don’t want people to say i’m not good enough for you.”
“love, you’re more than good enough for me. i don’t care what some strangers on the internet say about our relationship. what matters is that i love you and you love me.”
“i love you,” y/n mumbled into his neck.
“i love you too,” corpse said as he rubbed her back. “why don’t we just leave it for a bit and see if it becomes a big thing?”
“that sounds like a good idea,” y/n sighed. “can we watch a movie right now?”
“of course, my love,” corpse said, a bright smile on his face. a blush settled on y/n’s cheeks at the nickname. corpse lifted y/n’s arms from their spot around his torso and brought them to his shoulders. “hold on, okay?"
y/n nodded and squealed when corpse lifted her off of the ground. out of instinct, she wrapped her legs around his torso. corpse sat down on the couch, leaving his hands wrapped around y/n. “can we watch tangled?”
“again?” corpse laughed. “do you want a blanket?”
y/n nodded and corpse grabbed a blanket from the small basket next to the couch. he leaned back, allowing both of them to stretch out on the couch. y/n snuggled into the blanket and corpse’s chest, her eyes focusing on corpse’s hands instead of the movie. she silently grabbed one of his hands and played with it. she let her thoughts drift. was she overreacting? they only heard someone say ‘baby’, that’s not a big deal. but then again, the person that called her baby has a very recognizable voice. did corpse think she was ashamed of him? she had to fix this.“bub?”
“yes, baby?”
“you know i’m not ashamed of you right?” y/n asked as she looked up at corpse’s face. her hand left his and settled on her boyfriend’s face.
“of course i do,” corpse said, his heartbreaking at the worry in her soft voice. he turned his head to the side and pressed a kiss to the palm of her hand. he saw the far off gaze in her eyes and kissed her hand again. “what’s going on in that mind of yours?”
“maybe we should tell everyone,” y/n mumbled. “i don’t want to keep tiptoeing around even though i want this to just be something between the two of us.”
“baby, if you don’t want to tell anyone, we don’t have to,” corpse whispered.
“i want to,” y/n said after a second. “maybe one of us could just post a picture or something. i don’t know what to do.”
“i have an idea,” corpse mumbled. he fished for his phone in his pocket and reached for y/n’s hand. he took a picture of their joint hands before putting his phone in his pocket. “i’ll post it after you go to sleep so you don’t have to stress about it, okay?”
“okay,” she whispered. “i’m sor-“
corpse cut her off with a small kiss on her lips. “stop apologizing, baby. we’re both okay, there’s nothing to apologize for.”
y/n smiled him before snuggling into his chest. “i love you, corpse.”
“i love you too, y/n,” corpse said with a beaming smile.
the two of them focused on the movie until corpse felt y/n drift to sleep on top of him. his heart melted at the sight of her snuggled under the blanket and clutching his shirt. he brushed some of her hair out of her face and traced her cheek lightly with his fingertips. silently, corpse took his phone out of his pocket and look a picture of her sleeping on his chest before he opened up instagram. going to the stories section, he selected the picture of them holding hands and added the caption “my baby” before posting it.
“okay princess, let’s go to bed,” he said to himself as he lifted her off the couch to bring her to their shared room. once they were cuddled up under the comforters on the bed, corpse pressed a bunch of soft kisses on y/n’s face. “goodnight my love.”
y/n squirmed in her sleep and cuddled closer into corpse’s side. “goodnight, bub."

Part I, Part II, Part III, Masterlist
Tumblr media
(at the garden, ignore deaky in the background)
☀️☀️☀️
When you woke up Sunday morning, you were relieved to find that you weren’t cuddled up to Roger or anything. You were both lying on your sides facing each other, but a pillow could’ve easily fit between you. The only weird part was that you almost always woke up on your right side, and this morning you were on your left. Maybe it’s to do with the travel, you thought, which even you knew was nonsense. 
Regardless, you turned over to the nightstand to check the time, which was 8:48am. You sat up and then stretched smally, worried too much movement might wake up Roger. You figured that he could sleep in since you technically didn’t have anywhere to be today. The museums wouldn’t be open until tomorrow, so today was mainly for exploring the city more. 
You unlocked your phone and started scrolling through instagram to catch up. Ayesha had already posted the picture you sent her of her and PK, a cute caption about feeling like a kid again to accompany it. You liked it and commented about how good the photographer must have been and kept scrolling. This is what you did for around ten minutes, with hardly any sign of movement from Roger except for his gentle breaths. That is, until you came across a dog video that nearly sent you into hysterics. You covered your mouth as you laughed, but you knew the sound was still pretty loud and your shoulders shook as you tried and failed to stifle the noise. Roger started groaning, a frown and pout crossing his face. 
“What are you doing?” he mumbled, his scratchy voice somehow scratchier than it was normally. 
You gasped for air before you could speak, “Sorry, it’s just some dog video.”
“Well let’s see it, it better be worth you waking me up,” Roger insisted, his hand rubbing over his face. 
“No,” you shook your head. “Just being woken up will ruin it for you. I’ll show you later once you’re fully awake.” 
“That’ll be like mid-afternoon if we’re honest. I’ll keep annoying you if you forget,” Roger warned. 
“I promise I’ll show you, just find me whenever that is,” you offered, holding out your hand like he had the day before. 
Roger looked at your hand for a second and then took it, shaking it gently, “Okay.” 
There was a moment of silence that was somewhere in between awkward and comfortable. Maybe you were both still too sleepy to think straight. 
You smiled sheepishly, “Alright, well I’m gonna get ready and go to breakfast.” 
Roger nodded and let go of your hand, and you felt his fingers slide along your palm. Then you got out of bed and he flopped back down, covering his eyes with the back of his arm. He was asleep again before you even closed the bathroom door. 
___
Five hours later, at around 2:00pm, you were leaving a restaurant with Rosie, Chandice, and Elijah when you bumped into some of the others from the group. Roger was laughing with Elise, Mandela, and Carter as they exited a restaurant across the square. 
“Hey, how’s it going everybody?” Carter, half-shouted from 25 feet away, a big, goofy grin on his face, as per usual. 
Rosie laughed and responded just as loudly, making Chandice look around anxiously to see if anyone was reacting negatively. You just patted her arm affectionately. 
As soon as you were all standing a little closer, Mandela, much quieter than his roommate, commented softly, “The whole gang’s together.”
“Mmm, not quite true,” you corrected. “Ayesha and PK are having lunch just them. Seemed pretty adamant that no one else joined them.”
Everybody ooo-ed and laughed and soon a couple of conversations broke out. You had just made plans with Elijah and Rosie to go back to that gelateria you had gone to last night so that he could try what you and Rosie had been raving about all day. Chandice was going with Elise, Carter, and Mandela to some garden they had read about in a travel guide for relatively unknown spots. You were pretty sure that Roger was going with them, but it wasn’t like you had been keeping an ear out for his plans or anything. 
Before you could take off, Roger pulled you aside yet again, but you were kinda getting used to how his hand felt on your arm and didn’t mind it. 
“Now that I’m fully awake with some fantastic Italian food in my belly, show me this dog video so I can know whether I need to take my revenge or not,” Roger warned with a deadly smile. 
“What sort of revenge would this be?” you asked, half-apprehensive, half-intrigued. 
“That’s for me to know, and you to find out if this video isn’t funny,” was his cryptic answer so you pulled up said video, not sure what to feel. 
The two of you got close so you could see the video at the same time. You giggled as the guy started explaining the trick and then cracked up when the egg fell. Roger laughed too, though not as hard as you, and kept watching when the video autoplayed again.  
“Look at her eyes!” you said in delight at how the doggo’s eyes crossed, focusing on the egg. Roger did as you said, but on the third play, he was more focused on you, watching your face as you laughed and smiled brightly. He felt something warm in his chest and butterflies in his stomach, but he couldn’t justify to himself why. 
You looked up and caught him staring at you but you weren’t bothered by it like you’d usually be, “So did it pass?” 
“Huh?” Roger shook his head a little, forgetting to focus on the words you were saying instead of just the lips forming them. 
You just smiled, “Was the video funny enough to prevent your revenge?” 
“Oh, yeah, you’re safe,” he nodded, then paused. “For now.” 
Unsure of how to respond because you suddenly felt flustered, you looked around and then frowned in confusion. 
“Um, where did everyone go?” you asked, only seeing Elijah and Rosie still nearby. 
“Oh, well I told the garden group to go on without me, I’ll catch up with them in a bit,” Roger explained. 
“Ready to go?” Elijah asked, hiding his impatience at having to wait for the gelato. 
“Yeah,” you nodded as Roger looked down at his phone. Rosie nudged your side and nodded at Roger. You were about to have an internal debate over whether to invite Roger but realized that you actually were fine with it, “Roger do you wanna come? This place has really great gelato.”
Roger smiled and teased, “As opposed to the hundreds of other gelaterias in this city?”
“Is that a no?” you snarked. 
“No, it’s a yes. Happy to,” he answered easily and you rolled your eyes but let him walk next to you on the way. 
___
Once you had gotten the gelato, Elijah and Rosie decided to go on a long walk back to the hotel, but you weren’t quite done exploring. 
“Um, I was gonna head to the garden where the others are if you wanna come with,” Roger offered, trying not to sound too hopeful. 
“Oh yeah, that actually sounded pretty cool,” you admitted. 
“Well, you can’t expect me to be doing anything uncool,” Roger flipped his hair. 
The three of you just laughed at him and you said, “Yeah sure, whatever. We’ll see you guys later.” 
Roger started trying to defend himself but you just grabbed his arm and started pulling him in what you hoped was the direction of the garden. As you walked, you found that Roger knew the name of the garden, Giardino Bardini, but not much else. He pulled the directions up on his phone, which luckily was able to take you there, but you had a sneaking suspicion that it had taken you twice as long as it should’ve based on what the others were saying before you ever left the big group. So when you got there, you couldn’t see anyone else as you looked over the grounds, but the garden was big enough that they could be tucked away in its depths. 
Whatever the case, you and Roger decided to walk around and see the sights, figuring you would bump into the others along the way if they were still there or just see them back at the hotel if not. The garden itself was gorgeous, with different types of landscaping and topography throughout and amazing views of Firenze. It was a part of the Villa Bardini, originally from the Middle Ages, so it was cool to see the varying architecture. 
There were statues throughout the garden, and even though it was autumn, it was plenty green and gorgeous. Just like on the carousel, you took pictures of one another, and this time you had fun directing Roger as he had you. 
“Okay you should have some candid ones, so like, try to act natural,” you told him while he was sitting down on the grass, snapping pictures as you talked at different heights and angles. 
“Well now that you’ve said act natural I have no idea how I naturally act,” Roger frowned and you took a picture of that too. “Hey stop it!”
“No, they’re good!” you protested, still taking pictures as he got up off the ground and started rushing towards you. Giggling, you started taking steps back, keeping your eyes on Roger as he got closer to you. That was your downfall though, because there was a little ledge separating the lawn the two of you were on from the main path that you didn’t see. 
The back of your foot hit the ledge just as you were lifting the other, and you were knocked completely off balance. Falling backwards, you threw your hand not holding your phone behind you to catch your fall. You landed hard on your ass, but did feel a pain shooting up your wrist when you hit the ground. 
“Fuck!” you grunted, dropping your phone and then lifting your other arm gingerly to rest on your lap. 
“Oh my-- shit, are you okay?” Roger was next to you in a second, kneeling on one knee beside you. 
“Owww,” you moaned, squeezing your eyes shut to keep any tears from welling up. There was nothing more embarrassing than falling in front of someone, especially if that someone was Roger. 
“Here, let me see,” Roger reached for your arm, which was clearly what was bothering you the most. 
You opened your eyes and pulled back, wincing in pain as you did, “What do you know about anything?” 
Roger would’ve been discouraged by your return to a rude attitude towards him except he knew it was just because you were in pain. “I’m a bio major--”
“So?” you cut him off before whining in pain again. 
“So, I’ve taken anatomy courses, let me see,” Roger’s tone was a little more commanding and you did see his point, so you let him carefully hold your wrist. 
He turned it as delicately as he could and ran his fingers along the sides before gently squeezing a couple areas, “Did either of those hurt?” 
You nodded, “Mainly the second one.” 
“Okay, it’s probably just a sprain, but we should call Prof Haus and get you to see a doctor,” he told you, grabbing your phone and putting it in his pocket before offering to help you up. You gladly let him because you didn’t want to jostle your wrist any more than necessary. 
Once you were up, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and called the professor. You could only hear half of the conversation but could tell they were making plans to meet at the emergency room closest to the hospital. A minute later he hung up and the two of you were on your way, starting the 20 minute walk to the hospital according to Roger’s phone. 
Roger kept you distracted throughout the walk by joking around, which would have annoyed you a week earlier but was a welcome distraction now. By the time you got to the hospital, Prof Haus and Sofia were already there, looking way more worried than you felt, but that was understandable. They took you inside, telling Roger he could head back to the hotel, and after a bit of a wait you were getting an x-ray. You were taken back to the exam room and about 15 minutes later a doctor came in to tell you that it was just a sprain and that you would have to wear a brace for three weeks but you could take it off to shower and such. 
After they had given you your brace and some painkillers they let you go. As you walked back into the waiting room, you spotted a familiar blonde head of hair. 
“Roger?” you called out, and then realized you were being too loud when everyone looked over at you. 
It was him though, and he got up and hurried over to see you. 
“Are you okay?” he asked tenderly. 
“Yeah, you were right, it’s just a sprain. They gave me this brace and some ibuprofen for the pain,” you explained. “But why are you still here? We must have been back there for over an hour.” 
“Well I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” he said, following Prof Haus and Sofia as they started to walk out of the hospital. “Plus, who was gonna annoy me if you weren’t there?” 
“Aw Roger, that’s almost sweet,” you joked, trying to hide the fact that it was actually pretty sweet of him. Good to know he could at least take an injury seriously. 
The two of you chatted with Sofia and Haus until you got back to the hotel, telling them that despite the possibility of injury, the garden was definitely worth checking out. It wasn’t until you caught a whiff of food from the hotel’s restaurant that you realized you hadn’t ever had dinner and it was 8:30. 
“Fuck I didn’t realize how hungry I was until now,” you muttered. 
“Oh dang, me too, we never ate dinner, huh?” Roger asked and you shook your head. “Well, do you want to eat in the restaurant? It’ll be my treat since you’re all injured and helpless.”
You scoffed, “I am not helpless.”
“Does that mean you don’t want me to pay?” Roger asked with a sly grin. 
“No you can pay,” you replied. Then you put your uninjured arm in his, avoiding thinking about how warm you felt suddenly, “Lead the way.”

NIALL
                                           For the very first time, Devon was already up when I woke up the next morning. I ran my hand on the cold sheet and my eyes fluttered open when I realized she was not there anymore. I groaned and turned around in bed, pressing my face against the pillow for a few seconds, and my heart jumped in my chest when her unique scent invaded my nose. I wished it was possible to bottle up an odor and I inhaled deeply before forcing myself to get up. I stopped by the bathroom but when I opened the door again, I just looked at myself in the mirror, trying to do something with my messy hair.  I heard a very low giggle and when I turned my head, I noticed Devon taking a picture of me. I raised my eyebrows, a bit surprised, and she pressed her lips together.
"I had time to take three before you noticed me."
"I only noticed because of your laugh." I admitted, taking a step closer as my lips curled more.
She snapped an other picture with her camera and I chuckled, shaking my head slightly.
"I think my caption will be, 'he just woke up like that'." she laughed, tilting her head. "Or perhaps, 'he's modeling only for me this morning'."
Her last suggestion made my heart jump in my chest and she took a step back as I took an other in her direction. Her words suggested something was happening between us, it would make anyone who would read it know we had something going on, and although I shouldn't, I really liked it.
"It could be something like, 'he's about to make me cum'." I proposed with a smirk. "What do you say?"
This time, she laughed and licked her lips, raising her eyebrows. "That would be a lie."
"Why? You don't think I can make you cum?"
Her facial expression changed into something more serious with a hint of a tease, and fuck, I loved it. "No, I know you can." she explained in a low voice as her butt hit the side of the couch before she sat on the arm. "But we're not doing anything now. I'm busy snapping pictures of a famous model and a future famous musician."
She brought her camera up and took an other photo of me. I pushed her camera gently on the side and bent down to kiss her lips as a sensation of warmth invaded my whole body.
"So you're going to post pictures of me in only my boxers on instagram?" I asked with a cheeky smile, kissing her mouth a few times. "People are gonna talk."
"They're gonna talk about how good you look, probably." she chuckled, shaking her head slightly and slowly, making her nose rub against mine. "If they talk about anything else, I really don't care. I was never the type to care about gossips or rumors, and a few weeks ago, I decided I was not the type to care about what people thought about me anymore."
"Same here." I admitted in a whisper. "You can post any picture of me you want, with any caption you want."
She glanced down at my boxers as I moved closer, pressing my half-hard cock between her legs. When she looked up at me, she was sending me an amused smile and fuck, I liked it. I wanted to see that smile every single day of my life.
"I'd love to take a nude of you." she let out with a chuckle, making me raise my eyebrows in a curious way.
"Have you ever taken that kind of pictures?"
"Not with that camera, no." she admitted with a smirk. "Took a few special selfies with my phone, who hasn't?"
"That's the difference between art and porn, you know that, right?" I joked, making her laugh. "Did you ever take pictures of you and someone else having sex?"
Her smile faltered a bit but her lips curled again on the right. "You're a pervert, you know that?"
"Oh yea, and you're a prude perhaps? A saint. A virgin-"
Quickly, she moved up a bit to crush her mouth against mine. I kissed her back but ended up laughing against her lips. "So, did you?"
She remained close to me, her eyes running on my face, and pressed her lips. I could feel how embarrassed she was but I wasn't sure if it was because she had, in fact, taken those kind of pictures, or just because of the thoughts running in her head.
"It's not easy to hold a camera and ride a dick at the same time."
"Not easy, but not impossible." I pointed out, amused by the simple fact that she was considering it. "I can take pictures of you choking on my cock instead."
This time, she laughed and shook her head, her eyes never leaving mine. I loved the smile on her face and I loved being the cause of it. I hadn't felt that good with a girl in a long time. It was not just a sex thing, or an unrequited story.. What I felt for Devon, she seemed to feel for me too, whatever it was, and having her so close to me, happy and soft, made me realize that perhaps, I didn't really know what love was. Maybe she didn't know either. Maybe what me and her went through with our exes was not what love should be like, or what a relationship really was. I let that possibility sink in and my lips curled slowly.
"No?" I asked a bit lower, raising my eyebrows.
"I don't know." she whispered, her lips still parted as she tilted her head. "Make me."
"You may regret those words, you know."
She licked her lips and tilted her chin more as she sent me a daring look. It made me want to bury my cock deep inside her but I pushed the thought back in my mind again, trying to focus on the moment.
"Listen carefully, Niall Horan." she let out before moving slightly closer to me. "Make. Me."
My eyes roamed quickly on her face and her small satisfied smile made my dick twitch against her inner thighs. I remembered what it felt when she sucked on my tongue and I just knew it would feel incredible on my cock. I waited half a minute and when she moved back slightly, I gripped her hair and tilted her head a bit more. I didn't expect the whimper that escaped her lips and pressed myself more on her left thigh as my dick swelled again. I took a small step back, bringing her with me, and I didn't even have to ask : she fell on her knees in front of me like I wanted her to.
"Touch me."
She didn't wait, she just ran both her hands over my boxers, grabbing my cock and running her hand on it while the other reached for my balls. I groaned low, still holding her by the hair, and I immediately knew It would be one of the shortest blowjobs I ever had. Her hands were warm for once and I focused on how they felt before looking down at her. I saw her move closer but held her tighter to stop her.
"Pull my boxers down." I ordered in a breath. It took her a second to do it and I noticed her lips parting when her eyes met my dick. She tilted her head and ran her lips on the side before I grabbed it in my hand and moved it up. "Start here."
She bent down enough to run her tongue on my balls slowly and when she took one in her mouth to suck on it, I let out a groan. I had no idea how she did it, but I felt my cock throb in my hand and she had barely touched it. I pulled on her hair to move her head back and stared down at her, feeling extremely horny, probably hornier than I had in a very long time.
"Stick your tongue out, let me use it." I let out firmly. "And look at me."
She did exactly what I asked and when her eyes met mine, I swallowed a curse word. I loved how she submitted to all my whims and it gave me a bunch of ideas that I wanted to try with her. Slowly, I ran the tip of my cock on her tongue, wetting it, and moved the length on it too. I moved back a bit, stroking myself slowly with her spit, and she let out a low whimper when I tapped the tip of my cock on her tongue.
"Alright darling, show me you're a good little whore, yea?" I murmured. "Suck it good, like it's the last thing you'll do."
When she wrapped her lips around my tip and started sucking like her life depended on it, I let my head fall back on my shoulders and my eyes rolled back in my head before they closed. I couldn't remember the last time I had a blowjob let alone that kind of blowjob. She used her hands to stroke me and let her tongue slip under my tip, making me groan. I pushed her head slightly closer as my hips jerked and my dick slid on her tongue to go deeper in her mouth.
"Fuck, you're good at this." I groaned low again, letting go of her hair to hold her head with both hands. "Just keep your mouth open."
Looking at her squirming a bit, sitting on her legs with her mouth wide open made my heart jump in my chest and I pushed my cock in her mouth until she gagged. I held her head and let out a curse word before moving back and she coughed a few times but quickly opened her mouth again.
"Your mouth is amazing." I whispered, shaking my head. "I can't stop thinking about fucking it."
My words made her open her lips wider and I couldn't wait anymore. I started fucking her mouth slowly at first but harder with every thrust. I came close to an orgasm every time she choked on it as it hit the back of her throat and after a few minutes, I pulled out completely. I bent down to wipe the spit from her chin as she panted, her lips open, and sent her a smirk while holding my throbbing cock with my free hand.
"You want my cum?" She nodded so fast it actually made me chuckle and I licked my lips, standing back up. "Beg me."
"Mm, please Niall, I really want to taste you." she confessed in a very low tone, nibbling gently on her bottom lip. "I've been thinking about it way too much. Please..."
I was a bit surprised by how needy she seemed but when she stuck her tongue out again, I rubbed and tapped my cock on it, pushing the rest of my thoughts away. I felt an orgasm coming and jerked off quicker, feeling the tip of my dick rub on her wet tongue at the same time until I moaned louder than intended and let out a few curse words.
An ecstatic feeling invaded me and I forced myself to keep my eyes open only to see my cum spurt on her tongue and cheeks. The sight was amazing and I held my breath when she put her mouth around my cock again, sucking harder as I finished cumming in her mouth.
"Jesus Christ." I whispered, holding her hair again, watching her swallow.
I felt my knees wobble a bit and pulled my boxers up quickly, my heart still racing. I heard her light laugh as I let myself fall on the couch and breathed in deeply. She got closer to me on her knees and licked her lips, putting her hands on my thighs and tilting her head.
"I'm still horny, do you mind if I touch myself?"
My eyes roamed on her and I slowly shook my head. "Fuck no babe, go ahead."
She smiled more and quickly straddled me. I didn't expect that but she just slipped her hand in her pants as I stared at her a bit in shock. I was still in my post orgasm feeling but I knew the sight would drive me insane. I knew immediately when her fingers reached her pussy because her smile fell and her lips parted. Instead to rub herself, she started moving her hips against her fingers (or so I guessed) and I was suddenly disappointed that I couldn't see her drip on her own hand.
"Fuck, don't stop." I breathed out, my eyes traveling from her face, down her arm and until her pants, watching her hand disappear in them. "Bet sucking my cock made you soak yourself."
"Mm fuck." she murmured, closing her eyes.
I pulled down on her sweatpants a bit just to see her grinding her hips on her fingers and groaned low at the sight.
"You need to cum petal, or you're gonna make me hard again."
She opened her eyes again and with her free hand, she moved her shirt up over her breasts before bending down a bit. Without thinking, I stuck my tongue out to reach one of her nipples and ended up with one of her tits in my mouth. I held her with my hands on her thighs and she started going faster and whimpering louder. She started shaking over me and my hand reach for her other breasts, squeezing it tight as she came and when she came down from her high, she sat on my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck to kiss me. She didn't pull her shirt back down and I could feel her nipples rub against my chest, making me groan in her mouth.
"I'm sorry." she said, pressing her lips together. "It should have been only about you, but I was so horny."
"Are you kidding me?" I asked, raising my eyebrows and letting out a chuckle. "That was hot, I totally wanted to see that!"
She pulled away and bit her bottom lip as a smile crept on her lips. Slowly, she pulled her shirt back and I watched her breasts until they disappeared under the fabric.
"Come back closer, pet." I proposed in a soft tone with a small head movement, making her smile.
She did as I asked and kissed me again as I wrapped my arms around her chest, pulling her closer to me. I don't know how long we kissed but I didn't want it to stop and when she pulled away, she licked her lips and I did the same to taste her a bit more.
"What do you want to do, today?" I asked, a happy smile gracing my lips.
I didn't know how she did that but whenever she was with me, I was happy. I could blame it on the orgasm I got a few minutes before but I knew it was more than that, I knew that her simple presence made me want to sing more, write more songs, make more jokes... Is that what it feels like to be with the right person? Wanting to actually be a better person? For them but also for yourself?
"Maybe we could go for a walk? We've been locked here for a while. Fresh air wouldn't be bad."
I sent her a small but fond smile and nodded. "Okay, good idea."
She got up and I watched her disappear in the hall before getting up too. I found clothes and dressed up quickly as I decided we would get some food before coming back inside. When I reached for the front door, she was there, typing and smiling at her phone. I felt a wave of jealousy rush inside me at the thought that she was texting her ex boyfriend but I swallowed it and tried to calm the beatings of my heart.
"What are you doing?" I asked cautiously, pushing my hands in the pockets of my pants as they formed fists.
"Oh." she looked up and then back at her phone, smiling more. "Adding the pictures of you on instagram."
She moved her phone up and I blinked a few times before realizing I was seeing a picture of myself, staring in the mirror and playing with my hair. I was surprised by how good the picture was and when I looked up, she raised her eyebrows.
"You like it?" she wondered, genuinely interested. "There's a few more."
She handed me her phone and I grabbed it from her hand gently, swiping to look at the other pictures she took. They seemed professional but I was not really surprised: I already knew she was an amazing artist and I was pretty sure I had made a comment about the photos she took and put on instagram in the first few days after we met.
Two of the other pictures she had posted had been taken without me knowing and I had no idea how she made me look so vulnerable. The truth was, It was exactly how I felt when I was around her, but I didn't even mind. In fact, I loved it, and I was just waiting for the day that she'd let herself be completely vulnerable in front of me, too. I couldn't lie and say she didn't exposed herself that way sometimes, or that she didn't seem unguarded a few times, but to be completely vulnerable in front of someone was a big proof of trust, and it hit me. I trusted her. I trusted her with my feelings, I trusted her with my body, I trusted her with my soul, and even with my mind. And she probably didn't even see it yet.
I looked up and swallowed hard as she smiled more at me. I wanted to tell her so many things but I didn't know how to word things properly. It had always been my problem and I knew it. I blinked a few times and looked back at her phone, staring some more at a smiling picture of me, probably the last one she had taken when I was coming closer to her, but it's only when I saw the actual caption that I felt my heart twist and jump in my chest so hard that I had to swallow again.
'I'm so lucky to have him'

[10:56am] “happy 3 year anniversary!” you cheered, throwing your arms around boyfriend!jaehyun’s neck from behind. 
he returned a soft smile and titled his head back to be closer to you. “happy anniversary, baby.”
you snuggled in close to him and peered over his shoulder to get his attention. “let’s go somewhere to celebrate! where do you want to go?” you proposed.
for your first anniversary, jaehyun took you to universal studios, the perfect place for the child inside of you to set free and go wild. the both of you went on numerous rides and met all the cartoon characters. these happy memories are tucked inside a golden frame, where it sat on the corner of jaehyun’s desk, collecting a layer of dust on the glass surface.
from what you can remember, the following year was celebrated by watching movies at your comfy home and playing board games and throwing popcorn at each other. or, that was how it was supposed to carry out. a few weeks before that special day, you were promoted at your job. it was a position you have been working your butt off for. all those times you worked overtime at the office and the long presentations you made in front of the big bosses finally paid off. your hard work was recognized, and with it came a salary raise and a new title. like haechan, your fellow worker, you were starting to value materialistic things, because it gave you financial security. the world will only get more competitive and one had to be smart to make it in the real world. 
your boyfriend, however, thought differently. jaehyun is a graphic designer, more or less. his employers are his best friends, johnny and mark, who are successful youtubers. they have racked up 25 million subscribers since their college days and are most famous for their web show, “johnny’s communication center.” all the sound effects that tickle the audience, aesthetic cuts in the videos, translations and captions were jaehyun’s work. as his girlfriend, you supported him with your whole heart, but it’s been three years and he was still in the same spot he started with: a half-broken laptop and a wired mouse. countless times you tried to persuade him to find a better job, one that pays him enough to buy a smarter laptop and a wireless mouse. every time, he shakes his head no, telling you how difficult it is to find a job that lets him work hard and play hard. he persuades you in return to give up your job and find a job that allows you to rest the constant furrow between your eyebrows. you stopped trying to convince him and he did to you. you realized that he was happy with his job and if that was what he wanted, then he can do what he wants. a part of you felt that he was being irresponsible, but you were willing to be the mature one in this relationship.
back to the anniversary date, the movies and popcorn was cancelled, because there was a sudden meeting that you had to attend. the sponsor that you were trying to recruit arrived earlier than you expected and they wanted to hear about the project they were dumping money into right away. you phoned jaehyun immediately and apologized about the sudden intervention. 
“i told you about this like a month ago,” jaehyun whined.
you whispered to the phone, “i’m in a meeting right now. i can’t talk. i’ll finish as soon as i can, okay?” you didn’t even wait for a response before hanging up the call. unfortunately, the meeting took up almost the entire day. that day ended up going by just like any other normal day.
this year you made sure to clear your schedule and prepare for any thrilling events jaehyun had planned for your third anniversary. you anticipated disney land or perhaps tickets to k-con.
his eyes were glued to his laptop, where you can see the clips of mark and johnny being dragged and clipped together under jaehyun’s control. “i didn’t really plan anything. i figured you can get some rest after your busy week. you barely got any sleep,” he responded. 
this was not what you were expecting, but he was right. you haven’t had a day off in such a long time. your arms relaxed and you stood straight again. you asked him again if he was sure this was fine, and he mumbled a soft yes.
for the first time in a while, you were bored. you caught up with most of your work and had already returned all of your emails last night. all the chores and cleaning was already done by jaehyun, as well. the clothes were neatly folded in the drawers. the windows were so clean you can eat a meal off of it. have you mentioned the kitchen? the food was restocked and organized in the shelves. there was nothing else for you to do. laying on your bed, you tried to think of something to do.
no, there is one more thing you can do. you remember the picture frame on jaehyun’s desk.
it seemed like the world was against you. the moment you walked into the living room, you can see jaehyun cleaning the frame, just like he did to every other thing in this house.
you were just about to turn and go back to bed when you noticed something off about jaehyun. he seemed dazed by the picture as he kept brushing it with his thumb. there was a tug on your heart and your eyes glossed up at the sight of his sad smile. 
after a minute or two, jaehyun broke out of his trance. sensing your presence, he put the frame back down and returned to his normal self.
his normal self. jaehyun’s normal self is what he was two years ago, where each day was spent teasing and annoying you. you can’t remember the last time that jaehyun crept up on you to scare you or surprise you at your office. you missed having jaehyun acting child-like around you.
you were so deep in thought that you hadn’t realized that jaehyun was talking to you. the last words you heard were, “i’m gonna go,” and then he was out the door.
you trudged over to the couch and sat down, clutching the sponge-bob plushie you snatched from nearby close to your chest. it finally dawned on you that you were not the mature one in this relationship. you never were. jaehyun was the bigger person. he adapted to your beliefs and matched your standards. tears rolled down your cheeks and soaked up on the plushie.
while your sobs filled the room, you concluded that jaehyun must be leaving you for good. he grew tired of your selfish needs and is finding someone who actually deserves him.
you were almost too caught up by your emotions to see that the door to your apartment was opening. jaehyun leapt to your side, setting the bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. in less than a second, he was sitting beside you, handing you tissues and comforting you.
“my love, what’s bothering you? you can tell me and we’ll figure it out together,” he worried.
you punched sponge-bob and sniffled, “why are you back? i thought you left!”
“i went out to buy you these flowers, i thought i-” 
you flung your arms around him, taking him by surprise. “i’m sorry.”
he hugged you back, squeezing you so tight you can barely breathe.
after the two of you released each other, he wiped away your tears with his sleeve and brushed your bangs to the side. “it’s okay.”

(stone face towards me) and I’m thinking to myself like damn…. she’s actually really sweet though, I can tell lol… so She says let’s play a prank on Justin…. and I agreed (why not right?) let’s take a pic and then send the guys the pic and under it say ‘guess who’s getting a grill?'”
“I didn’t say it was a joke or anything… a few hours later, I get a text from Justin saying ‘call me’ and I’m like…. damn, he’s gonna be mad or tell me to take it down….”
“He says ‘cmon bro. is she really getting a grill? (I’ve talked to him enough on the phone to know his voice and different sounds, from regular to really happy) and he was definitely concerned like ‘please say it’s a joke’…. so I’m thinking to myself, like damn, I know in the last 3 hours he’s had to have talked to his girl and he had to ask her…. I can’t believe she’s really stringing this little prank along for so long…. she’s really cool for playing the joke for real! haha”

We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that's given us a lot of the same family values in life."
"At the moment we're so busy, it's pretty much hotel rooms for me for most of the year. She could be in one part of the world and I could be in the other. We are just a young couple who are enjoying spending time with each other. But we both took time off last month and it was just really cool to be able to spend time together and just do normal things like go to the beach and have dinner together."

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 1
Update from November 2021 - I really don’t believe much of this is meaningful at all.  I don’t think they’re sitting around referencing one another on social media or anything but some of Dianna’s interactions with Karlie are interesting Dianna shows up explicitly in Taylor’s life a couple more times so I’m leaving these sections here.;
From here on out everything but the 2014 AMAs and Dianna’s somewhat shocking appearance at Taylor’s 2019 SNL performance are just odd social media shenanigans (or subtweets) between the two, and Taylor appearing to release at least one more song about Dianna (Babe in 2018) (and let’s be honest you can make a strong argument for The 1 being about Dianna as well other post 1989 songs.)
Some of this might be complete crack or coincidence but as you all know I want this to be the most thorough Swiftgron document possible.  
If anything it proves they both certainly still have similar interests and they really do seem to be in touch.
There are some interactions claimed by others to be Swiftgron related that I’m not going to include because they’re just a bit too reachy for me (though I completely support the theorizing!) but in general, if I personally can see the hint of a Swiftgron connection, I’m going to include it here. Draw your own conclusions and take everything, particularly the alleged subtweets/social media shenanigans, with a grain of salt.
And yes there’s tons of Kaylor and other Gaylor/Gaygron content that will be left out of this segment because this masterpost is focused on Swiftgron.  Someday it would be cool to make a giant masterpost/timeline that documents all of it, but for now it’s just going to be Swiftgron stuff. August 26, 2014 - Dianna tweets, and then deletes “Withdrawals, clearly…we had fun.” 
There’s no screen shot of this tweet but some retweets/responses of it remain:
Tumblr media
If Dianna is indeed referencing the song Clean (in which their relationship is compared to an addiction hence, “withdrawals” from it) then Taylor would have had to give her advanced knowledge of the song since 1989 did not come out until October 2014.
Taylor did claim she ran 1989 by the muse that inspired it and they were both in LA in late August 2014. Maybe this is when.
Tumblr media
November 1, 2014 - Taylor posts about Clean
Tumblr media
November 19, 2014 - The 2014 AMAs Kaylorgron Explosion Extravaganza:
Taylor, Karlie, and Dianna are at the event.  Taylor and Karlie are clearly on a date and Dianna is there to present Sam Smith’s performance of I’m not the only one.  Dianna seems a bit out of her element/gloomy when interviewed on the red carpet and Taylor flexes Karlie hard, dancing with her throughout the night and even sitting on her lap during an interview.
Click here for photos, video, gifs, and a live L chat reaction to the night.
December 28, 2014 - The writer for the tv show The Originals, Carina Mackenzie, tweeted that 1989 was about Dianna:
Tumblr media
It’s of course notable that someone in the industry is “confirming” Swiftgron on main (particularly before gaylor went mainstream with Kaylor being so obvious in 2015/2016) however what’s even more interesting and notable about this tweet is that an actor named Michael Trevino was on the show The Originals and he dated Jenna Ushkowitz from 2011-2014.
Not only that but Michael was at Dianna’s 26th birthday when Taylor was in attendance as well.
It’s possible that Michael witnessed Swiftgron in real life and spilled a bit to the writer of the TV show he was on.
January 5, 2015 - Taylor likes a Swiftgron related post on Tumblr of Dianna saying she’d go on the road with Taylor and carry her bags at the Giffoni Film Festival in 2012:
Tumblr media
February 9, 2015 - Style is released as a single
February 13, 2015 - The Kaylor “Best Friends” on a road trip Vogue Spread comes out.  You’re probably familiar with it but if you aren’t google it.  It’s incredibly romantic and pda filled.
The Style music video is released on this day as well.
We don’t have to go through the whole video but one egg I just have to note is the cave pictured in the MV is in Morocco the same country Dianna seemed to flee to after Swiftgron was outed:
Tumblr media
February 14, 2015 - Dianna tweets 143 remember those days (for some reason it has not been deleted) seemingly in response to the Kaylor vogue shoot:
Tumblr media
143 is a code that means “I love you” that originated from Mister Rogers.  Both Taylor and Dianna have publicly shown that they are fans of his.  Taylor has even made certain songs 3 minutes and 41 seconds long seemingly referring to this number and wore a Mister Rogers pin on a jacket for a photoshoot once.
Here’s a bit more in depth analysis on the significance of the 143 post.
This tweet is how we know that it is 100% in Dianna’s character to occasionally subtweet Taylor and why a lot of this social media analysis has been done.  
February 16, 2015 - Just two days later Dianna attends a fashion show in which Karlie walks and is noted to “have kept a smirk on her face” during.  Dianna doesn’t clap at the end of the show and looks miserable in photos of the event:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
February 17, 2015 - Taylor releases Wonderland
I’m going to pause here and discuss the song Wonderland for a brief moment because it is some of the most incredibly airtight evidence for Swiftgron available.
Dianna’s favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland.  She brought it up in interviews all the time, tweeted about it, auctioned off a signed copy of it for charity, her private Tumblr and instagram account are called whosirmesir which is a reference to it, her private Tumblr is filled with reblogs about Alice, and her public Tumblr was called fell down the rabbit hole.
So the fact that Taylor writes an entire song describing a relationship through the lens of and packing full of references to Alice in Wonderland is incredibly interesting.
Let’s take a look at some of these lyrics:
Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we Fell down the rabbit hole (literally Dianna’s tumblr name and url)
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me (Dianna is famous for her beautiful almost hypnotic green eyes and yes they are green)
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds (queer coded)
Too in love to think straight (queer coded)
But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams (seems to reference when they were outed) You searched the world for something else (Dianna very publicly went travelling around the world right after April 2013 when they seem to break up)
Taylor literally put Dianna’s Tumblr URL in the song.  Frankly I’m kind of shocked she released this song at all it is so obviously and clearly about Dianna.  Truly a Swiftgron anthem!
Back to the timeline...
March 8, 2015 - Taylor posts Flamingos for her dad’s birthday:
Tumblr media
The caption was “Happy Birthday, Dad. Thanks for all the unconditional love, sarcastic comments, and interesting Christmas presents.”
May 1, 2015 - Dianna posts a flamingo for her birthday (post is now deleted):
Tumblr media
The caption was “This is 29. Spoiled rotten. Funny enough, at work they were painting the hallways white and the roses (hallway doors) red, then I actually went to Wonderland (@AliceUnderLdn) and came home to a surprise flamingo. Here we go. Another year around the sun…feeling lucky and loved and loved and lucky.”
Taylor also gave Emily, another rumored ex, a flamingo bandana for her birthday.  i also think it’s odd that Dianna mentions Wonderland specifically in the post.
January 15, 2016 - Dianna’s engagement to Winston is announced and Kaylors notice Taylor is liking sad posts on Tumblr including several posts related to Clean:
Tumblr media
November 7, 2016 - Lorde’s birthday party where Kaylor is together in public for the last time for 20 months.
January 5, 2017 - Claire (who is still very close with Taylor) comments on one of Dianna’s Instagram posts):
Tumblr media
March 2, 2017 - Dianna posts her James Dean inStyle UK photo to Instagram:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is actually the second time she has posted this as a throwback photo.  She also posted it on February 4, 2016 with simply the caption “TBT” and did not include the “rebel without a clue” bit which is a reference to James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause). She’s never posted the same TBT photo twice before or after this (as of the writing of this post in October 2020).
It I may be permitted to go real far out on a limb here it’s almost as if she wanted people to connect that photo of her in the UK InStyle magazine to James Dean.  James Dean is of course the way Taylor describes her lover in the song Style.  
At any rate it’s very odd that it’s the only photo she’s posted twice whether it’s related to Taylor or not.
April 25, 2017 - Fans notice Dianna is having her script tattoo removed:
Tumblr media
This is significant because a part of the tattoo was dedicated to Alice in Wonderland - it said “We’re all mad here” 
Tattoo removal is a years long process:
Tumblr media
So it’s possible she started getting it removed around the time that Wonderland came out.
It’s also possible part of the tattoo was dedicated to Lea (the part that said “here I am”) so this whole removal situation is very interesting.
In 2019 she was still getting it removed and commented this at a Cafe Carlyle session:
"i was like i don't know i wanna explain all my tattoos or the one that i'm getting removed on my side...you know you're like...WHATEVER we're stopping we're moving on"
February 13, 2018 - Dianna attends the Carolina Herrera fashion show, so does Karlie. Dianna is introduced to Karlie by Derek Blasberg and very audibly calls Karlie “gorgeoouusss” as they meet. 
Kayda play “Gorgeous” by Taylor Swift.

I Forgot That You Existed : Epilogue
A/N: . And this is the end of the series really enjoyed writing this. Hope you all enjoyed it too. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
Pairing : Tom Holland × Singer reader
Summary : It’s been more than five years since you and Tom have gone their own ways after a heartbreaking breakup which had left both of you shattered. Both of you thought that you were finally over with each other and were happy in your respective lives until you meet again at a reunion trip planned by your best friend and you realize you are still not done with each other.
Warnings : mild swearing.
Mini Playlist : London boy and Lover by Taylor Swift
Tumblr media
"The news is just loving you." You chuckled sitting on the kitchen counter scrolling on your phone. Tom grimaced. 
"Just check out the headlines" 
Trouble in paradise 
Wedding a PR stunt? You read out. 
"My PR team is so pissed at me right now they are on the edge to handle this whole mess." 
You were scrolling through your feed as you stumbled upon a photo of yours with Tom posted by a fan account. It was a recent photograph from the carnival where you are seen holding hands walking through the crowd. It was a backshot but it did leave little to anyone's imagination that it was you and Tom. Whoever posted it wrote with the caption. 
Is it?? Are they?? OMG!! 😲😍
"Oh fuck me!!" You cursed. 
"Darling I would love to do that but I'm sort of busy right now with making you breakfast." You gave him a dirty look and shoved your phone to his face. 
"Look at this." Tom was puzzled at first then slowly his eyes widened with shock as he took a look at the photo. 
"What the fuck!!" 
"I'm so dead Alex is gonna eat me alive." You face palmed. 
"How did they even get this?" 
"How can I know?! Someone must have spotted us and clicked it." 
"What do we do now? There is no way people are gonna believe that we aren't in a relationship." 
"I'm in no place to take in the hate so…" you got busy with your phone. 
"Wait what are you doing?" 
"Nothing just desperate times calls for desperate measures." Being in this industry one thing you have realized is that people will believe anything posted online and Alex has taught you a few tricks to handle these kinds of situations. So before people start making a fuss about that photo you decided to share some photos from the vacation on your Instagram. The first photo you posted was of you, Tom and Harrison which you captioned 
Best friends for life!!💕🍻
You posted a few more including one from the carnival too. 
"Well disaster averted temporarily. We can clarify things further in interviews."You winked, showing him your phone. Tom stood in between your legs wrapping his hands around your waist. 
"My girlfriend is a genius." 
"That I am." You smirked. 
"Can't you stay a little longer?" he pouted. 
"Tom are you serious? I already extended my stay by one week for you. If I stay any further Alex will just kill me. And don't you have a press tour coming up?"
"Yeah fine will miss you though."
"Me too" you pecked his lips. 
"By the way I was serious about that before, you know in the kitchen." he drew circles on your skin. 
"I didn't say no either" you bite your lower lip batting your eyelashes innocently. Tom tightened his grip on your waist, peppering you with kisses on your neck you squeaked as he lifted you from the counter. 
Three Years later….. 
"Y/N just relax." Zendaya said. You were pacing in your bridal suite. 
"I can't, this is just too much to handle, do you think I should run away? Tom will understand right?" you blabbered. 
"Y/N it's totally normal to get cold feet for the bride to be before her marriage." Elysia tried to calm you down. 
"And if you faint on the aisle, your maid of honor and the other bridesmaids will be honored to catch you." Zendaya chuckled. 
"Not helping Z." You deadpanned. 
"Umm Elysia you seemed quite calm when you and Sam got married how was that so?" 
"Believe me girl I was nervous as hell. All sorts of doubts started hovering in my head like what if this is a mistake? What if all goes wrong? But once when I was at the aisle and saw his face all my doubts cleared away. This is the man I love and spending my life with him will be the best thing in the world. Whatever may come in our way we will overcome it together." 
"Wow that's a great insight." 
"You got this girl! " Chloe cheered you whilst fixing your dress. 
"How is the bride doing?" El enquired as she entered into your room with a jovial smile. 
"Oh hi El!" you eagerly went and hugged her. 
"Hi darling!" 
"You're late by the way." You quipped. 
"I'm sorry dear the flight got delayed." 
"Girl you seem to be doing much better than your groom. I just happened to pass by your husband and by his looks he seemed like he would shit in his pants any moment." You all burst out laughing. 
When the news of your wedding broke out it became the talk of the town. 
You wanted it to be a private affair away from the prying eyes of the media. So what's better than getting married in the peace and serenity of the countryside in the presence of your close friends and family. 
The aisle was beautifully decorated with white lilies and roses. 
Tom was shuffling on his feet at the aisle. 
"Dude everything is fine, stop worrying. She will be here in a few minutes." Harry tried to boost his confidence. 
"You know Y/N is a sort of fickle minded what if she had a change of mind?" Harrison chuckled. 
"You know what Harrison? You are the worst man." Tom grumbled. Harrison laughed. 
Finally, the priest came out and asked everyone to stand. It was your turn! All eyes would soon be on you.  Chloe and Ed's three year old daughter Belle was your flower girl for the wedding. She looked cute in a pink gown as she walked on her little feet lining the path with white rose petals as the music started. 
You only took two steps out before you were greeted by your father. He escorted you down the aisle. He became your strength; without him you would have fainted you thought. The guests looked at you, taking pictures of your dress, waving at you, smiling- one thing was for sure, though… no one made a sound. 
Up ahead you saw him, Tom. Your future husband, the love of your life, your everything. He stood taller, his shoulders back and his eyes on you. If you weren’t mistaken you could have sworn tears filled his eyes.
Tom stood there hypnotized seeing you in that pristine white wedding dress you looked like a dream he thought as you walked towards him. 
At the end of the aisle your father hugged you 
“I'm proud of you jellybean” it was a kind of emotional moment for you as a few tears slipped down your eyes so as your father's and then he presented you to your groom. He placed your hand in Tom’s and smiled. As a couple, Tom and you stood in front of the priest.
Before your father walked away, he patted Tom on the shoulder. That was his way of welcoming him into the family. 
Standing next to your love felt overwhelming. You glanced at each other for a moment. 
"You look beautiful." Tom mouthed to you. 
"You too." You mouthed him back with a wink. 
Elysia was right you thought, an unknown excitement surging inside you. 
Was this really happening? Will I soon be Mrs. Holland? You thought. 
The minister said to guests, “You can now be seated”. Everyone followed his request.
“Dearly beloved,” he began, “we are gathered here to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony.”
He said the speech and afterward you exchanged vows, tears filling both your eyes.
Paddy walked in with Tessa who had your rings in a basket she was holding in her mouth. Everyone went 'aww!' as she looked adorable in a wedding tutu walking over to the aisle. You placed Tom's ring on first, then he placed on yours.
“With the power invested in me I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Tom leaned in and kissed you,softly like he’s never done it before. Everyone cheered for you, however you barely noticed; your full attention rested on Tom. 
And you left the stage with Tom hand in hand. Though you were against doing any kind of wedding tradition but your bridesmaids were adamant for the bouquet ceremony so you had to give in to that. They lined behind you. 
"Okay girls you ready?!" You tossed the bouquet. You turned to see Zendaya had caught it. 
"I knew it was your turn next." You cackled.
"This is not done. We could have done the garter ceremony too; it would have been so much fun." Harrison complained. 
"I think you guys had your fair share of fun on the Bachelorette with all the booze and that stripper that by the way our parents aren't aware of" you muttered with a stern look in your eyes. Harrison gulped because he was behind the whole Bachelorette fiasco. 
"Yeah we are fine." he said timidly. 
You went to change to something more comfortable for the reception. 
The lawn buzzed with excited chatter and children ran between the tables in a good natured game of tag. There was the scraping of chairs as folks got up for a standing ovation as you and Tom made your way to the head table, smiling and holding hands. There were cheers and someone whooped.
 As the evening progressed everybody had loosened up a bit. People were chatting, eating and enjoying the reception. 
"Finally the number of women are increasing in the Holland family." Elysia announced. Everyone laughed.
"Ah! seeing you two together really makes us happy" Nikki said. 
"Yeah now it's time you give us our grandchildren too." Your mother joked. You and Tom flustered at that. 
"Moomm!! we just got married. We are too young for that, let us enjoy this time." You whined. 
"Honey I had you when I was 25. No pressure though take your time." 
It was the time for your first dance with Tom,your friends pulled you both to the stage, a soft music was playing. You held his hand, his other hand resting on your waist as you swayed to the music. 
"So how are you feeling wifey or may I say Mrs Holland?" 
"Umm the weather is a little warm, feeling a little bloated other than that I'm doing fine hubby." You chuckled. 
"You know I was so nervous I actually thought what if you changed your mind about the wedding?" 
"Not gonna lie I was actually thinking of running away." You smirked. You exhaled resting your head on his chest swaying to the music. 
"Hey you okay?" 
"Yeah why?" 
"Nothing, just all that baby talk." 
"Hey it's totally fine I'm way over that. And I would love to be a mom again but not now." 
"Just imagine you me and our four little halflings. We could have two girls and two boys or three girls,one boy or a pack of four boys like us or.." You cut him off. 
"Whoa whoa whoa slow down mister. First of all we are not having more than two.'' 
"But why? I'm totally gonna be a hands-on dad I promise."
"Easy for you to say because I will be the one going through the whole birthing process. So no uterus no opinion. And isn't that why Thanos snapped in the first place overpopulation, limited resources." You chuckled, snapping your fingers. Tom shook his head laughing.
"I would be so glad if I have twins all the hassle in one time." 
"Whatever you want darling. You know how much I love you." 
"I know and I love you too." 
"Okay how about three if not four?" He suggested. 
"If we are to count you, I'll have three kids to look after so your wish is fulfilled already." You laughed. 
As the reception was drawing close you went up the stage tapping on the microphone to seek everybody's attention. 
"Good evening everyone. First of all, I really wanna thank each and everyone for blessing us with your presence at our wedding and making it memorable." 
"Tom and I have known each other since we were kids. Our mother's were convinced that we would end up together and so we did though we had to go through our own rough patch. But I'm glad that eventually everything got sorted out and the credit goes to our families and friends." 
"It's no secret I write songs taking inspiration from my life and Tom has been a major part of my life. So this is for you hubby."
The band played the notes as you started singing. 
"I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal
And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey
But something happened, I heard him laughing
I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent
They say home is where the heart is
But that's not where mine lives"
Everyone clapped and cheered. Tom's whole face lit up as he looked at you. 
"You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you (ooh)"
Tom was blushing at his seat as Harrison elbowed him in a teasing manner. You had a wide smile as you looked at him. 
"And now I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End
You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends
Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride
Babe, don't threaten me with a good time
They say home is where the heart is
But God, I love the English"
You took the microphone in your hand singing and walked over to Tom extending your hand to him. He took it and got up from his seat as you walked him over to the middle of the stage. 
"You know I love a London boy
I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you"
You stood there glancing at his eyes. 
"So please show me Hackney
Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street
Just wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Stick with me, I'm your queen
Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney on the Heath
Just wanna be with you (wanna be with you)
Wanna be with you (oh)
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking SoHo, drinking in the afternoon (yeah)
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you (you)
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumors are true (yeah)
You know I love a London boy (oh)
Boy (oh), I fancy you (I fancy you, ooh)"
Present day…. 
"And that is how your mum and dad got married kids." Harrison finished his story letting out a deep breath. 
"Wow uncle Haz that was epic!" Your seven year old daughter chirped in awe. 
"Yup everything was epic with those divs."  
"We are back!" Tom announced as you both entered your house. 
"Peter! Vienna! Where are my pumpkins?" you called out as you heard shuffling of feets and giggles. 
"Mommy!! Daddy!!" your little munchkins came running to you. 
"There they are."  You cooed. Your five year old son launched himself into your arms as you picked him up. 
"Did you have fun with your uncles?" 
"Yess!!" Peter said beaming with joy. 
"Uncle Haz and uncle Harry were telling us a story." Vienna informed you. 
"What story bubs?" 
"Your and daddy's love story." You and Tom looked at each other smiling. 
"Oh really? I hope they didn't go much into the details keeping it kids friendly." 
"Of course Y/N you really don't trust us do you?" Harry said feeling offended.
"To be honest, No" you replied bluntly. 
"Where's Ava and Jordan?" you asked whilst putting Peter down. 
"They are with their moms at mum and dad's house helping with dinner." Harry said. 
"Okay then let's get you guys ready and then we will go to grandma's for the Christmas Dinner eh?" Tom said to your kids. 
"Yayy!!" Vienna and Peter rushed back to their room.
You were at the doorstep as you rang the bell as you were greeted by Nikki. 
"You guys are late." 
"Sorry, someone was way too confident about his navigation skills so had to take a detour." You eyed Tom. 
"That wasn't completely my fault. How would I know that the road would be closed?" Tom retorted. 
"It's Christmas time Tom! Everyone knows." You both started arguing at the doorstep. 
"Then why didn't you tell me?" 
"Okay that's enough for now, God you two  have been married for almost 10 years and still your non stop bickering continues." Nikki scolded you both. 
''You got all the things I told you to bring?'' 
"Yes mum." Tom said sheepishly. 
"Merry Christmas grandma!!'' Vienna and Peter came rushing in clinging on to her. 
"Aww Merry Christmas my loves. C'mon get inside all your cousins are waiting for you." 
After the dinner all you ladies gathered in the living room and gossiped among yourselves and your husbands were chugging on to their beers and having their share of laughs in the dining room. 
The kids were busy playing amongst themselves.
Vienna came up to you and tugged on to the sleeve of your sweater. You turned to look at her brown doe eyes which she totally inherited from Tom along with her luscious curls. She was a stark image of him. 
"Do you need something peanut?" 
"Mom, will you sing for us? Pleaasse." she innocently asked, making a puppy face the trick she had picked up from her dad in the meantime. And how could you say no to that. 
"Anything for you honey. Can you bring me my guitar love?" 
"Sure mom." Vienna beamed with joy as she ran to bring your guitar. You slipped down the couch to sit on the carpeted floor stretching your legs as you strummed on to the chords. 
"We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover"
Vienna sat beside you. You swayed sideways while singing to her. Vienna tried to sing along with you clapping her hands to the rhythm. Peter came running and settled down on the other side of you resting his head on your lap. You stroked his hair with your hand gently. 
"We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover"
The boys heard you singing as they got up and flocked in the living room. You glanced at Tom standing at the doorway smiling and gave him a subtle wink. He can never get enough of you, every time he looks at you he falls in love again and again. Sometimes he wonders how did he get so lucky? You were perfect, who gave him the two most precious gifts of his life. His heart swells when he looks at his little family. You make him whole. 
"Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover"
Tom walked towards you and picked up Peter making him sit on his lap as he sat beside you. His one hand went to wrap around your shoulder as he placed a soft kiss on your cheek, you looked at him smiling. You were so proud of this man, the perfect husband, the doting father to your children you didn't have words to express. Tom rested his head on your shoulder, Vienna and Peter clinged on to you as you sang. You felt full from the inside out. 
'' Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover"

How to gif without photoshop
Hello! By popular demand (of like 4 people) I am going to write out a tutorial of how I make gifs when I’m on my personal laptop and don’t have access to photoshop. There is another method I use with a different software that is a bit more complicated and if people are interested, I will make a tutorial of that method as well. I’ll do my best to keep this concise, so let’s get started. 
Warning that this is VERY text and image heavy because I know how frustrating it can be when a tutorial feels like it’s skipping steps and I want this to be as clear as possible. Also please read this on desktop, tumblr mobile kills the quality of gifs inside text posts.
This is the video I will be giffing and here is the gif I will be making!
Tumblr media
What you need:
 A video to gif
For the best results, I recommend a video that is either 720p or 1080p (basically the higher the quality, the better). Videos with good lighting and bright colors also turn out the best. Unfortunately for me, I gif the TV show Prodigal Son a lot and that show has neither of those things, which is why my gif example is from that show; if you can make a scene with zero lighting or vibrancy look even somewhat decent, you can make anything else look good.
A video downloader or screen recorder
This is the video downloader I use and this is the screen recorder but basically any youtube video download website or screen recorder program works. Keep in mind that ezgif has a pretty low upload limit for videos, so if you want to gif something longer than like ~4 minutes, cut the video down to the specific parts you want first on a website like this one. 
ezgif
A very straight forward website that anyone can access. You don’t need to download anything, it’s all online. 
Bonus: Online Image Editor (not required, but I use this website to add text to gifs)
1. Making the gif:
Once you have a video downloaded, you go to ezgif.com and go to the section video to gif. Click choose a file, scroll to your downloaded video, and hit upload video. Your screen should look like this now.
Tumblr media
There are two ways to pull out the sections of the video you want to gif. You can either write in the start and end time in the little sections (you have to convert them to seconds: for example, if my gif started at 1:16 and ended at 1:20, it would be 76 seconds and 80 seconds respectively). Or you can do the method that I feel is easier, where you go to the section you want it to start on, hit pause, and hit the blue button that says “use current position” then let the video play until it hits your stopping point, hit pause again, and click on the second “use current position” button.
Tumblr media
Once you have the start and end time recorded, scroll down to the next part of the screen with the size options. For size, select “540xAUTO (for Tumblr)” since tumblr gif sizes start at 540p and go down the more gifs are in a row. For frame rate, try to do either 20 or 25; the higher the frame rate, the smoother the gif will look. If you are trying to gif something in 540p that is longer, you might need to chose 10 to keep it under 5mb, which is the tumblr gif size limit. For method, leave it on FFMPEG. Then hit, convert to gif.
Tumblr media
your gif will now look something like this!
Tumblr media
Now, this gif is currently 5.7mb, which is above the size limit for tumblr (5mb or above gifs will still play if I recall, but the quality will be really bad when you post them). If I was planning on keeping the gif this size, I would go back and change the frame rate to either 20 or 10 to get the size down. However, I am going to resize the gif to 268p, so I don’t need to worry about it being to big.
Using the correct gif size for tumblr is one of the easiest ways to make sure the gif looks good! For gifs that take up a whole row, the size should be 540p wide. For two gifs in one row, the size is 268p each. For three gifs in one row, the sizes are 177p, 178p, and 177p in that order. Here is a visual of it. 
The next step would normally be resizing the gif, but Prodigal Son youtube videos come with a black banner on the top and bottom that I need to crop out. You will see a menu full of options under your gif, and you want to click on “crop.”
Tumblr media
Cropping is pretty straight forward; you just move the little box over the part you want cropped, then hit the “crop image” button. Make sure width stays 540p!
Tumblr media
Your gif now looks like this
Tumblr media
Next, you look at the options under your gif again, and go to “resize.”
Tumblr media
Again, resizing is pretty straight forward. I just put in 268 into the “width” section and leave the “height” section blank since the site will automatically resize the height. You can ignore the other menu options.
Tumblr media
Your gif now looks like this
Tumblr media
Next step is optional, but I usually do it. Once again, you go to the menu of options under your gif and select “speed.”
Tumblr media
Speed is also super straight forward. I almost always reduce the speed of my gifs somewhere from 90% to 80% no matter what, just because I think it makes it look smoother. For gifs that are of short scenes that go really fast, I will reduce it to anywhere from 70% to 50%. You can try different speeds to test out what you think looks best. For this gif, I’m going to put it at 80%.
Tumblr media
Here’s what we have so far. Congrats, you have made a gif!
Tumblr media
Now for the fun part!
2. Coloring the gif
Go to the “effects” option, in the menu under your gif. You will see a LOT of options, but the panels I’m going to focus on are “colorize”, “brightness and contrast” and “color presets”. This section is going to vary a lot depending on what specific video you are giffing so remember to be flexible and try lots of different options out! It took me a while to get to a place where I can just eye a scene and know what settings to use. It’s super easy to go back and tweak a setting if the gif doesn’t look like how you want it the first time, but it’s a lot of trial and error. 
Tumblr media
The main option I focus on in the “colorize” section, is “saturation.” This is what will make all the color in your gif pop out. The saturation I use varies a ton; for scenes that already are colorful/bright, I usually keep it around 120 to 150, since you don’t want it to be over saturated. If I’m making an edit that is supposed to look toned down or more grey/neutral tones, I’ll decreases the saturation in the range of like 90-40. For a show like Prodigal Son, where there is basically zero color vibrancy, I tend to go full out with saturation, usually in the 150-200 range. For this gif, I have it all the way up to 200.
Next is brightness and contrast. This also varies wildly, but a good rule of thumb is I always try to keep my contrast at least 5 points higher than whatever my brightness is, it just makes the lighting more even. You need to find a good balance; obviously, the darker the scene, the higher you want the brightness and contrast, but if you go too high, the gif with be staticy/grainy. For Prodigal Son, which has horrible lighting, my brightness is anywhere from 10-30 and my contrast is anywhere from 15-35. For this gif, my brightness is on the lower side since the scene is outside in natural light; brightness is 16, contrast is 26. 
Tumblr media
After you get those settings, I go over to “color presets” section and click on the “tint” option. It will pull up a color chart that looks like this
Tumblr media
You ALWAYS want the intensity up to 100. This part is where the most trial and error occurs; there isn’t any one color option that works for every gif. The shade I use most often is light red/pink or light blue/light purple. For scenes that are lacking warm tones (which is almost all of Prodigal Son) I tend to go to the light reds, and for scenes that are lacking cool tones, I go to the light blues. The light reds are best for making characters skin tones look more...like actual skin tones and not totally washed out. To select a color, you just move your mouse around the chart. This is the range of color codes I tend to use.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, intensity should be up to 100 (it automatically starts at 50 and I was too lazy to move it while getting screen shots :P). 
For this gif, I actually used a new technique I’ve been trying out where I start with a light blue tint to even out the color tones, then once that gif is done, I go back to effects and add a layer of pink to make the colors brighter. Usually, one color works fine, but sometimes it’s hard to find a good balance (the red colors can get too red and the blue sometimes brings out too much of a yellow shade). For now, I have my color tint set at #eeebff. 
Tumblr media
Ultimately, this is what my effect settings look like and this is what the gif looks like now. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, like I said before, I added another layer of tint to this gif. All you have to do is go to the menu under your gif, and click on effects again.
Tumblr media
It will take you back to the panel you were just on, expect now your colored gif is on the top and all the settings are blank again. The only setting you need to use now is the tint option; go there, and select a light red shade. I used #fff0f0.
Tumblr media
And here is the final gif! To save it, just right click and hit “save image as.”
Tumblr media
I know it seems like a long process, but once you get a hang of it, it goes by super fast, especially if all your gifs are coming from the same video.
BONUS: Adding text
If you are trying to gif something with dialogue or you want a quote to put over your gif, you will want to put text over it. ezgif has a “text” option that you can use if you want, but I personally don’t really like their font options, so I use the website Online Image Editor.
Tumblr media
This is what it looks like. You can either hit “upload an image” and upload your saved gif, or you can go back to ezgif, right click the gif, hit “copy image url” and paste that url into the “upload from url” option. The web page should now look like this.
Tumblr media
It’s pretty straight forward from here; click on the “add text” button and a menu will appear on the left hand with options for the text. 
Tumblr media
Type whatever you want the caption to be in the “type text here” box. This website has a ton of font options you can play around with, but when I just want to caption a gif, I stick with “Arial Bold Italic.” For a 268p gif, the font size should be 10-12, depending on how much writing you plan to put on each gif (if some gifs are going to have more writing than others, pick a smaller font size so it stays consistent!) When I make a 540p, the font goes up to 14-16.  I use white for the color and black for the stroke. I make the strokewith 3 because it makes the caption stand out more. Once all these settings are selected, hit the “preview” button under the text box.
Tumblr media
You can now drag your text anywhere you want on the image! The only bad thing about this website is that it doesn’t automatically center text, so you either have to eyeball it, or if you’re picky, like me, open up one of those online ruler applications and use it to measure out the center. For captions, I move the text just slightly above the bottom of the gif. 
Tumblr media
Finally, you hit apply. Once your gif has the text on it, all you have to do to save it is right click it and hit “save image as.” And here is the finished project!
Tumblr media
That got a lot longer than I thought it would, but I hope it was informative! If anything was unclear or if you have further questions, feel free to send me an ask. Thank you for reading.

Scream - Chapter 1
So this is a reimagining of Scream for @optimistic-dinosaur-nacho spooky challenge. Some of the relationships will be different. I am going to mostly follow the movie, but going to change up some of the ending and who is going to be the killer may or may not change. Also, this is going to be set with everyone in college (so, kind of borrowing some elements from Scream 2) and while cellphone use will be prevalent, in this universe, people actually answer unknown calls. I know it’s not the most realistic, but given that most people I know (including myself) don’t answer calls from numbers they don’t recognize, I kind of need people to actually answer their phones for this story to work.
So, I hope you enjoy!
Pairings: Bucky Barnes x Reader (future chapters); Avengers x Reader
Warnings: gore, angst, violence
Sharon was making some popcorn when he heard his phone go off. The number came up as Unknown.
“Hello?”
“Hello. Who’s this?” A voice responded. Sharon couldn’t tell if the voice was male or female.
“Who are you looking for?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, I think you have a wrong number,” Sharon said with a smile.
“I’m sorry.”
“It happens. Have a good night.” Sharon hung up the call and put her phone on the counter. She turned back to the popcorn, which was almost finished. After a few minutes, her phone started ringing again, “Unknown” on the caller screen. Sharon just hit ignore. Almost immediately, the phone started ringing again. Sharon gave a huff of annoyance and picked up her phone.
“Hello?”
“Hello. I’m sorry. I must have dialed the wrong number.”
“Well, why did you dial it again?” Sharon said with a slight laugh.
“I wanted to say I’m sorry for calling you. And, not going to lie, you sound cute.”
Sharon still could not tell if the voice was male or female, but decided to go with it. A little flirtation never hurt anyone. “Oh really?”
“Yeah. What are you up to tonight?”
“Watching some movies.”
“What kind of movies?”
“Just some scary movies. You know, get into the season.” Sharon grabbed the popcorn and moved towards the living room. She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that Steve was late, which was unusual for him. Steve always loved a horror movie night.
“What’s your favorite scary movie?” the caller asked.
“Um… probably Halloween.”
“Is that the one where the guy chases after the babysitters?”
“Michael Myers. Yeah.”
“That’s a good one. I was always partial to Friday the 13th.”
“Voorhees is a good villain. I love that series.”
“So, what’s your name?” Sharon pulled the phone away from her ear to send a quick text to Steve to see where he was.
“Why do you want to know my name?”
“I want to know who I’m looking at.”
“What?” Sharon felt alarmed.
“I want to know who I’m talking to.”
“That’s not what you said.” Sharon made her way to the front door. She looked out the window next to the door, but could not see anything. After checking the lock, she went to the back door that led to the patio.
“Listen, I got to go.”
“I thought we were having a nice little chat.”
“Chat with someone else.”
“Don’t hang up on me.” The voice suddenly took an angry tone.
Sharon hung up and started to dial Steve’s number when her phone rang again. Sharon sighed and answered the phone. “Yes?”
“I told you not to hang up on me.”
“What do you want?” Sharon asked, exasperated.
“I just want to talk.”
“Well, call someone else.” Sharon hung up the phone. She made her way back to the living room when her phone went off again.
“Listen asshole,” Sharon began, but the voice cut in.
“No, you listen you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I’ll gut you like a fish, understand?”
“Is this a joke?” Sharon asked, timid, tears starting to fall from her eyes.
The voice sounded more calm. “More like a game.”
Sharon began to look around for something to defend herself with. She grabbed a chef’s knife from the counter and walked to the front door. “Can you see me?” The voice asked.
“What kind of game?” Sharon was terrified. She couldn’t figure out where Steve was and she couldn’t see anything in the yard of the house. Her heart was pounding.
“Just a little trivia game.”
“I don’t want to play,” Sharon said, as she moved around the house to check all the locks.
“Well, if you don’t, poor Steve will lose. You may want to check the patio.”
Sharon stopped cold. Heart pounding, she ran to the patio door and flipped on the outside light. She saw her boyfriend tied to a chair and gagged. He had a trickle of blood rolling down the side of his face from an obvious head wound. His eyes were wide and he looked terrified.
“What are the rules?”
“Good girl. The rules are simple: I asked you a question, if you get it wrong, you die. If you get it correct, you live. Let’s start easy. Who was the villain in Halloween?”
“Michael Myers,” Sharon answered quickly. She stayed by the patio door, torn between wanting to run out there and untie Steve and staying inside. She didn’t know where the caller was and wasn’t sure she would be able to get to Steve in time. Steve looked at her like he knew they wouldn’t live through this. Sharon tried to convey a hopeful look to him.
“Good job. See? It’s easy. Now for the real question.”
Sharon started crying harder. Her parents were not due back for another 20 minutes. The plan had been to have a movie night with Steve and her parents.  This was a nightmare come true.
“Who was the villain in the original Friday the 13th?”
“Jason Voorhies!” Sharon called out.
“Oh, so sorry. That was wrong.”
“No, it isn’t. I must have watched that movie at least 8 times. It’s Jason Voorhies!” Sharon was insistent.
“If you watched it that many times, then you would remember that it was actually Jason’s mother. You will get another chance, but poor Steve. He is paying the price for your wrong answer,” the caller taunted.
“NO!” Sharon screamed. Steve’s muffled screams filled her ears. The screaming seemed to last an eternity. When they ended, she looked out the door. Steve’s head lolled to the side, his blond hair flopping into his face. Sharon could see his stomach was sliced wide open, his intestines starting to slide out. Sharon sobbed and slammed her fist against the door. “Why are you doing this?”
“Time for your question, Sharon,” the voice stated, ignoring her question. “What door am I at?”
“What?” Sharon started to look around her.
“I said, what. Door. Am. I. At?” the voice said slowly. As Sharon moved to the living room, a crash filled the air. A cloaked figure jumped through the window pane that was next to the front door.  The figure was dressed in a black costume with a white ghostly face. In its hand was a lethal looking knife. Sharon screamed as the figure ran towards her.  She held up her hand with her own knife to try and protect herself. Steve had taken her to a few self-defense classes less than a year ago after a woman in town was brutally raped and murdered. However, her memory of what to do slipped her mind as she panicked. The figure tackled her to the ground.
Sharon’s head hit the floor hard. The figure knocked the knife out of her hand, the knife scattering across the floor. Sharon threw up her arms to try and protect her head and chest. She wiggled her body, trying to get away. She felt the blade of the knife slice into her forearm. With the adrenaline rushing through her, she felt the sting of her flesh cutting open, but she knew she couldn’t let it stop her. She felt the sudden warmth of the blood drip onto her face. Sharon threw up her knee into the attacker’s groin. With a grunt, the figure rolled over and Sharon rushed to her feet. She ran towards the front door, the pounding of feet behind her. As she neared the entry, she was tackled from behind. Sharon kicked her feet back, trying to ward off the attacker. She could feel him or her grabbing at her legs, making it difficult to move. With a lucky kick, she managed to kick them in the face. Sharon felt the grip on her legs loosen and she ran out the broken window. She felt glass cutting into the soles of her feet.
Sharon turned right off the porch and tried to run towards her neighbor’s house. The house was about 200 yards away, but it was her only hope. After she had gone about 25 yards, the figure ran up behind her and grabbed her around the waist. Sharon saw the flash of silver and felt immense pain just above her left breast. She screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. The figure started slashing their hand down. With each slash, Sharon felt pain spread across her body. As her strength waned, she reached up and grabbed at the mask of her attacker. Her last view was of a darkened face.
The attacker grabbed Sharon’s ankles and started to drag her body to a tree that was near the front of the house. After ensuring the body was hanging properly, they took a quick picture with Sharon’s phone and uploaded the photo to Sharon’s school social network with a simple caption:
“Who’s next?”

Nostalgic For A Different Future: Arcade Fire's Will Butler On How His New Solo Album Finds Healing In Community
When Arcade Fire released their very first single, it came with a B-side that hit very close to home to brothers Win and Will Butler: a recording of a song called "My Buddy," credited to their grandfather, Alvino Rey. In fact, several generations of musicians line their family tree. While those historic echoes provide joy and solace for younger brother Will, the world tipping into pandemic and protests over racial injustice reinforced life’s darker cycles. On Butler’s second solo album, Generations (due Sept. 25 via Merge), he explores the ways in which we come together in community both because of and in spite of those ripples.
The video for early single "Surrender" represents that duality perfectly. The clip opens with studio footage of Butler’s band recording the jangly anthem, complete with call-and-response vocals and gospel falsetto. But much like 2020, things devolve quickly, with closed captioning-style subtitles mourning the deaths of Black men and women killed by police, calling for sweeping political change, and insisting on prison reform. Though written long ago, the album holds a special ability to tap into something boundless and timeless while simultaneously feeling entrenched in the tragic pain of the present.
Butler spoke with GRAMMY.com about the album’s similarities to Fyodor Dostoevsky, the ways in which songs take on new meaning over time, how Generations fits in with an upcoming Arcade Fire album and the healing power of community.
Did you have any hesitation about releasing the album in the midst of the pandemic?
I'm sad to not tour it. If I could wait four weeks and then tour the record... but that's not going to happen. It's actually kind of a good time to put out music. It feels morally good! People want music, so let's put out music. I've experienced that, where people put things out and it feels generous.
It truly does. You've compared this album to a novel and your debut before this to a collection of short stories. Is there a particular novelist that you feel would be in tune with your work? Do you take inspiration from fiction in that way?
It's not Dostoevsky. [Laughs.] But it is weirdly more inspired by Dostoevsky than it ought to be. It's the tumult of the 19th century, the next stage of the industrial revolution and the gearing up of socialism and anarchism. It feels related to the pre-revolutionary thing happening in Russia. [Laughs.] It's not a one-to-one comparison by any means, but it’s just the deeply human things happening in a context of the whirlwind.
Was there an experience that led you to the feeling that it was the right time to deliver such a politically driven album?
Partly, I went to grad school for public policy. I explicitly went as an artist wanting to know what's happening and why it's happening. I started the fall of 2016, which was a very bizarre time to be at a policy school. But I had a course with a professor named Leah Wright Rigueur, a young-ish professor, a Black woman, a historian. The course was essentially about race and riot in America. And since it was a policy school, the second-to-last week on the syllabus was talking about Hillary Clinton and the last week was talking about Donald Trump. It was a history class, but in an applied technical school, so it's like, "What are we doing with this history?"
We read the post-riot reports of Chicago in 1919 and the post-riot reports of the '60s, the Kerner Commission and after the Watts riots, and we read the DOJ reports after Ferguson and after Baltimore and Freddie Gray. And then Donald Trump got elected at the end of the semester. This course really trained my eyes at this moment of time, just being in that state of thinking about what's going on and why it's happening.
Right, and the album's title feels like it encapsulates not only the history that you were learning at the time but also your personal and familial ancestry.
Yes, very much so. My mom's a musician, and her parents were musicians. My grandmother grew up in a family band driving across the American West with her parents before there were even roads in the desert. Her dad got arrested a bunch of times for vagrancy or for not paying off loans. There's something very beautiful about being in the tradition of generations of musicians. That's a positive thing in this world. It's no coincidence that I'm a musician. There are, however, many more poisonous things that are also not coincidental that are rooted in both personal and political history. All of political history in America has been geared towards making each generation of my family's life better insofar as they're white men. It's been very good to my family, but that is as much of an undeniable generational heritage as music, which is this beautiful and faultless and glorious thing.
Do you see that musical tradition in your family as storytelling?
It's never been explicitly storytelling, though that is part of it. It's more about building community or building a society through entertainment. Entertainment is almost too light a word. My grandfather and grandmother did all these broadcasts during World War II, and some of it's jingoistic, some of it's incredibly moving, some of it's just dance music for people who don't want to think about the war for a minute. It's all these emotions, but still with this aim of trying to get us all in it together–which in a war context is fraught. But there's that element of always trying to make a family, make a community, learning how to bind us all together.
That reminds me of the call and response vocals you've got throughout the record. It has an especially gospel-y feeling on "Close My Eyes," which is such a clever way to paint a song about surrendering to something bigger than yourself, that communal feeling. What was the impetus for that narrative voice?
Part of it is just rooted in Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. [Laughs.] Years ago, someone mailed us the complete Motown singles on CD, just every single starting from day one. Even though there’s some garbage mixed in there, it just feels so human with those gang vocals and great singers that sometimes they just pulled off the street. You get the sense of humanity. Having backing vocals be so integral instead of just having my voice layered feels like having a community and feels very natural. It's hard for me to not just rely on that every third or fourth song. [Laughs.] It just feels like that's how it should be.
Those multi-part harmonies must be especially potent live in a room. Do you write in a way where you’re already picturing these songs live?
We played almost every one of these songs live before we recorded them. My solo band played "Surrender" live on the Policy tour for years. But even before we went into the studio last summer, I booked a weekend of shows. We did the Merge 30th Anniversary festival just to have us feel it live and have that communication. And then we went down to the basement to try to iron it out.
Speaking of "Surrender," that song took on an entire new life in the video. It starts out with videos of your band in the studio, but then quickly and powerfully gets replaced with messages mourning the deaths of George Floyd and Breanna Taylor and emphasizing the need for prison reform. You never know what life a song will have when you’re writing it.
That song is very nostalgic in a certain way. It’s looking towards the past, but not wishing to be in the past. It's wishing that we were in a different present because we had already chosen a different past. So when I was editing the video, I started it as a "making of" video. But the footage is from January of this year—five, six months old. There's this feeling of nostalgia, but also 2019 was not good enough to look back at. [Laughs.] 2019 was also horrible.
It's not like I want to go back to 2019. I want to play music with people. I want to be having fun with my friends. I want to be making a record. But I don't want it to be 2019. I'm nostalgic for a different future. And as I'm editing the video, there have been six weeks of protests of people trying to build something, and it just felt crazy to not acknowledge that. It was what people were focused on, at least the people around me.
Do you feel like you'll be infusing more overt social and political commentary into your music going ahead?
I think so. It's important that it's organic. It's part of the world I live in, part of my family and my friendships. Before the coronavirus hit, I was very much looking forward to touring and had vague plans to do town hall meetings and discussions. It felt like a rich time to do that around America, and around the world. I'm sad to not get to do that, but I think it will happen someday.
You produced the album yourself in your basement, so were you writing with the production choices already in mind or were you writing while in the studio?
I had the band come down and record for a week. And at the end of that first week, we had seven or eight songs that could be real. Some of them were clear. Some of them are simpler, like "Surrender." Others were trying to figure out where they would go. "I Don't Know What I Don’t Know" was more trial and error, trying something crazy. We'd turn everything off for two days and then come back to it and try something else. You try to be surprised by it.
I love revision. Well, I don't love it. I hate it. [Laughs.] I love the process of editing, of making a version of something and then finding something that's either better or worse. It's fun when you work with an editor that you trust, but when you're just doing it yourself, you drive yourself batty after some time. But I still love versioning it until it makes sense.
It feels like you're not too precious. You just want to service the song at the end of the day.
Yeah. I try to not be precious. I feel like the songs mostly came out with a fresh spirit. I didn't massage any of them too much. I'm very conversational in how I think of the world. Nothing is the final statement. You say something and then someone says something else and then you say something. And you have to finish what you're saying in order to hear what the other person says. So if that means putting it out into the world without rounding everything off, to me that feels right.
The record begins and ends on the same burning synth tone, like history ready to go around the loop again. What does that synth tone represent for you?
Not to get too mystical, but there's something about the bass that is so embodied. There's something about a really powerful bass that is fundamental, something that just gets to the core. I wanted that core to feel a little uneasy. It's not like the hit at the end of "A Day in the Life" where it’s this clear conclusion. It's a little bit gnarly. It's a little bit not in the right key for the song. It’s something disturbing at the very core of everything.
What has writing and producing this record taught you about yourself?
I found that while I still prize quickness and thoughtfulness and conversational life, this record took longer and took more effort than Policy. It was way less casual. It was not casual in a very good way. I realized this shouldn't be a casual undertaking—even though it can have lightness and humor and breezy elements. Even then, the whole undertaking can still be serious and grounded. It can even be quick without being casual. In the past, I've fallen into thinking, "Just do something first before you think about it too hard." But this was a reminder that you can do something more thoroughly.
Were you writing these songs while working on the next Arcade Fire album? Speaking about intention, how do you compartmentalize those two sides of your creativity?
Yeah, Arcade Fire is always very cyclical. We record for a year and a half, we tour for a year and a half, and then we're off for a year and a half. I was very conscious to do this in a moment when I wasn't distracted by something else. I wanted to focus on this.
I'm still figuring it all out. Right now I'm making a video for the song "Close My Eyes." I have children, two-year-old twins and an eight-year-old, so the spring was just complete family time—net positive, but total chaos. [Laughs.]
