Stagedoor Sparks! (Matthew Patel x Reader) ✨🔥🔱

masterlist link

AN: OH MY GOODNESS YOU GUYS WERE FEELING THIS ONE OKAY-

I’m so glad to see people hyped up for my pathetic pirate boy. Please enjoy and if this goes well I may turn it into a series lol

We’ve got a gender neutral reader, idiots in love, I saw someone say pathetic x pathetic and YES, theater kid lingo, mild swearing, and your favorite cutie pie. ⚠️Also, this is heavily based on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, so spoiler warnings for that if you haven’t seen it! ⚠️ Enjoy!

“Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Musical”, was what the bright lights of the massive sign on your local theater boasted. Recently, your coworker Julie had been telling you about the ridiculous life of this ‘Scott Pilgrim’, ranting about the conga line of characters that filled his (frankly, pathetic sounding) existence. She had also alerted you to this… musical. A musical that had been written about his life.

You sighed to yourself and adjusted your bag. Making your way to the golden, elaborately designed doors, just barely dodging all the paparazzi (why was there so much paparazzi?), you somehow successfully made your way into the main lobby of the theatre. Ivory and gold filled your vision as you observed the plush red carpet that lined each of the three floors. You had visited this theater before, and it’s gorgeous grandeur never failed to amaze you.

Now, you did not at all care about this guy. Yes, you had been silently internalizing every minuscule part of this random guy’s daily shenanigans, but that was because you were being a good friend to Julie! This Scott guy seemed like a tool, and you weren't particularly interested in listening to a…?

You checked the playbill the usher had just handed you.

…THREE HOUR MUSICAL?!? You almost started laughing right there.

But anyways, you weren’t here for this Scott guy.

You were here for musical theater. You had always been drawn to the fantastical world of lights and costumes and music. Plus, this was a community production with actors from Toronto, and you were always happy to support your local theater kids.

As you finally made your way to your seat, you sat down in the plush red chairs and opened your playbill to the cast section. You didn’t see any names you recognized, but one stood out to you.

Matthew Patel - Scott Pilgrim

Obviously, Scott Pilgrim was the lead role, but what really caught your attention was the picture attached to the name. Matthew Patel, you respectfully observed, was mad cute.

The lights suddenly began to dim and you settled in for whatever was in store, keeping a keen eye out for this ‘Matthew Patel’.

~~~ Holy shit, this is the best thing you’ve ever seen.

From the moment Matthew Patel walked onstage, you were absolutely smitten. He wore a bright orange wig that clashed horrendously with his dark skin, and an oversized jacket, but he was the hottest thing you had ever seen. Also, holy shit, Matthew Patel could sing. From the first line, you were completely enraptured by his high tenor belting. As you watched him onstage, you saw literal sparks in his eyes, his excitement and passion for the stage radiating off of him.

At the curtain call, you stood and enthusiastically clapped for each of the cast members, but hooped and hollered for Matthew especially. Even though you knew he couldn’t see you from the stage, you found yourself blushing at the thought of him looking at you.

That’s when it hit you: You’ve gotta book it to stage door to meet this guy.

~~~ Matthew Patel was completely exhausted. As the curtains flew closed, he sighed and turned around to smile at his cast mates. Although he was drained by his performance, he always took this opportunity at the end of a show to look to his fellow caste mates.

And hopefully someone would invite him with their group to an after show dinner.

He walked through the crowd, giving pats on the back and thumbs ups as he made his way to his dressing room. Lots of smiles, lots of “great job!”’s but… no invitations.

Slamming the door to his room he quickly took of his wig and put on his regular clothes, deciding that he would take off his stage makeup at home (aka the makeup he regularly wore but no one cared enough to know that). His room had a window where he could look down at the stagedoor line, the line that had been non-existent since opening night. He didn’t take it personally, since this musical was for a very specific audience of people and he understood that outside of them, no one knew or cared who Scott Pilgrim was. But still, he was onstage. He was singing and dancing and his art was being celebrated. Yes, he was lonely, still, but life wasn’t too bad right now.

As he did every day, he quickly glanced out his window to check for audience members at stage door and, sure enough, no one-

Wait-

Someone was there?

He did a double take and physically walked to the window, his hands placed against the glass and his now quickening breath creating a fog.

SOMEONE WAS THERE??!?!?

From high up in his dressing room, he saw a small figure holding the bright red playbill of his show. They seemed to be moving back and forth on their feet, bouncing excitedly. From so high up he couldn’t see their expression, but could make out what he thought was a smile.

He broke out into a wide smile. Running around his room, gathering his things and throwing them into his backpack, only one thought raced through his mind: He had to get down there.

~~~ As you waited, the cold Toronto air stung against your flushed cheeks. You were still high on endorphins from the show, the songs already worming their way into your head as you tapped your feet in anticipation.

Suddenly, and without warning, a man burst out of the dark black door you were waiting out, out of breath and panting. He was so hellbent on running out the door that he ran right into you, knocking you over!

“AH-“, you both made the same sound as you fell, the man directly on top of you.

“Oh- apologies, ma’am, I uh-“

You would have said a number of rude things to this man but, seeing his face, you were starstruck.

“Matthew Patel?”

His eyes widened in shock. Carefully, he got off of you and onto his knee in front of you. Gently, he took your hand and pulled you up, the both of you now back on your feet.

“You know me?”

You couldn’t help but notice the faint blush on his cheeks.

“Of course! Well- I mean, you know, you’re Scott Pilgrim! You were absolutely incredible up there, just amazing! My jaw was the floor the whole time! I mean, your voice and your dancing and the fight scenes-“

As you rambled on and on, Matthew was unable to snap himself out of the trance you had put him in. Visually, you were breathtaking, so much so he didn’t know how he had ever found anyone else attractive. But more so, you were genuinely complimenting him. He was never complimented on his theater work. He’d get the rare one from his cast mates, but never an outside fan.

Noticing his silence, you suddenly stopped talking.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to rant, it’s just- one theater kid to another, you were so amazing.”

He shook his head at your apology. “No, don’t be sorry. You’re- you’re very kind. Thank you. And I’m sorry again for… running you over.”

You laughed- a leitmotif to rival Sondheims to Matthew’s ears- and looked at him with a goofy grin.

“Would you sign my playbill?”

“Would you like to have dinner tonight?”

The two of you spoke at the same time, and one’s question made the other blush furiously. Matthew’s entire body tensed in embarrassment that he had been bold enough to ask you out like this, not even knowing your name.

You were absolutely over the moon.

“I- uh- yes. Yes, I would love to.”

Your smile got impossibly wider, and the sparks in Matthew’s eyes that you had noted during his performance returned. With a huge grin, he reached out his hand to take your playbill. You handed it to him and a marker appeared in his other hand as he quickly scribbled his signature.

“What’s your name?”

You told him and his blush deepened. He turned back to the playbill and scribbled a bit more, then handed it to you. You squeaked in excitement and looked at what he had written.

To my biggest fan,

(Y/N)

Looking back up at him, you were certain this was the start of something new.

“So… do you like Italian?”

~~~ HEY MATTHEW FANS TAKE THIS FIC! GO, FETCH! This’ll make a lot more sense if you like musicals, so have fun! Like I said at the start, if y’all want more and I’m feeling up to it, I’ll write more! Happy holidays, folks!

Thundertober Day 15: Piano

Virgil was almost most relaxed at his piano. He just hadn’t been able to for a while…

Continuity: TAG

———

His piano was his happy place. The way his fingers flew across the keys was when he was most relaxed. And the way he could affect the air around him with music was when he perhaps felt the most powerful. At least, he used to be…

Jeff Tracy had only been on Earth for a week, and yet it had been a couple of months since Virgil had touched his most precious possession. It wasn’t his father’s fault; Virgil would never blame Jeff. But the pilot felt that he’d lost a connection to his very soul. One that he wasn’t entirely certain he could get back.

But he was determined to. He just had to. He had to have that. That creative outlet that he was famous for, both here on Tracy Island, and in the greater world. The thing that was purely him, Virgil Tracy, and not the International Rescue agent.

So, for the first time in what felt like years, he crept down to the instrument in the dead of night, making sure he wasn’t followed by family and friends alike. A pile of sheet music was tucked under his arm as he perched on the seat of the piano, and opened up the lid to reveal the ivory white and shimmering black keys. They were calling to him.

And just like that, he had the music on display in front of him, and had begun to play one of his favourite pieces. Sure, he was a little rusty, but it was still oh so natural to him. The way the keys obeyed his commands and the twinkling, gentle sound surrounded him. It felt right, and yet, there was still something missing…

“Ahem.” A voice interrupted his playing, prompting Virgil to look up to the holographic image directly in front of him. John’s arms were folded over his chest, watching as his brother tinkered with the grand piano.

“Oh…” Virgil cleared his throat. “Sorry John. I didn’t wake you up, did I?”

John looked at him, puzzled that he would even ask that question. “I’m in space, Virgil. There’s no way you’re playing is that loud. I just woke up to it over the comms.” Virgil gave him a look, and John caved pretty quickly. “Okay, okay, I’ve been awake the whole time.”

Virgil hummed. “Never thought there’d be someone in this family who struggled with sleep more than Scott, but then again you always like to prove us wrong.”

“Haha, very funny…” John rolled his eyes. “Still, it’s nice to hear you play again. You haven’t touched that piano since-”

“Since we started work on the T-drive…” Virgil sighed. “I know. It’s just been so chaotic lately. And if I can’t find the time to play, I may as well make the time.” He paused, hoping he made sense to his spacebound brother. “Do you get what I mean?”

John nodded. “I hear you loud and clear, Virgil. Before, I had as much time as I wanted to just watch the world go by. But since we heard there might be a way to get Dad home…”

“We’ve all only been able to do our jobs…” Virgil mused. It was a strange thought. They’d given so much of their collective time to bring Dad home, and now he was, they were struggling to fill the void again.

“Well,” John began, “he’s back now. Things’ll be back to normal soon. Or as close as possible to it.” The astronaut smiled. “You’ll be on the piano more regularly again soon enough.” He winked, a rare joking smile on his face. “More, composed, if you will…”

“Really?”

“Just returning the favour from earlier.” John chuckled. “Make sure you go to sleep soon, okay? The others will throw a fit if you stay up too long. From what I understand, they’re all awake as well.”

Virgil’s eyes widened. “You sure?”

“They’ve been listening, big brother. And from what I hear, they’ve missed hearing the piano as much as I have.”

The pilot found himself smiling. “Thanks John, I needed to hear that.” A silence stayed over them for a couple of seconds. “I’ll go to bed right now if you do too…”

John smirked in turn. “Deal.”

A while ago, I was listening to the song “Hungry For Another One” by JT Music nonstop because it is SO catchy.

Around this time, Ninjago Season 13: Master of the Mountain came out. I don’t why, but I wrote a parody of the song from Cole’s perspective during the events of the season.

I call it “Ready For Another One”!

Orange - Cole

Black - Shintaro

Green - Skull Sorcerer

Purple - Geckles and Munce

Red - Ninja

You don't look like you belong here

Did you pinch yourself to see

If you'd wake up from a nightmare

Or could YOU STILL BE ASLEEP?

I tell myself it's all a dream

That Shintaro is just the Ivory City

You took a fall into the mines

Where greed is always peeking

All we got for cargo

Are the metals for leeching

Lots of mino carts

And boney guards for tyranny

Better grab a torch

Because the shadows are reaching

I'm stuck in the dungeon

With some oddly company

Watching me mournfully

Grappling, arguing

I tell them to follow me

Which they do, willingly

But all I do is get the higher ups ANGRY

They seem content to just chain me and pain me

Lock me up tight with vengestone for a playmate

Can I make friends with my odd-looking neighbors?

Doesn't seem like it; they're already arguing!

All I had wanted was to go right to sleep

But adventure came into my room with a peep

I came for the party, but there's no balloons

Just two different folks and a skull bearing loon

If I get lucky my family will come for me

Time to depart from this prison of ivory

Instead of a Lowly make me an Upply

Give me some grub that I really need to eat

'Cause all we have here is slop that's disgusting

But that's not the only pain that I'm harboring

What is this sensation that I am feeling?

This deep underground; is it my growing insanity?

This adventure ain't over

I watch the clock for the morning sun

I know when it's over

I'll just be ready for another one

Ready for another one

Ninja never say done

Ready for another one

Wonder why my power's gone

Ready for another one

A land where greed has overrun

Are ya ready for another one?

My friend, dear bright green skull

Oh how your power awes me

Let's put it to the test

Send my foes into slavery

Your kingliness and greediness

Will lead to your demise

Geckles and the Munce; only frightened ducks

Under your glowing eyes

How can it be?

Who called for me?

Better question: why here?

If I follow my

Mother's legacy

Maybe the sun will rise

But until the sun is up

We better greet the guests

By showing them our city;

All the metal is fresh

They don't need to know the process

'Cause they might protest

Well, at least I'm not alone

I hope the locals know best

Hey

Follow us and you might make it Scott free

Even though not many of us are free

Be a leader and tell us it's alright

Just remember to stay out of sight

Bone against stone, centuries old

The last time, our hero wore a hood

Two blades of might, her bringers of light

Better get 'em back, or it's the end of the line

This adventure ain't over

I watch the clock for the morning sun

I know when it's over

I'll just be ready for another one

Ready for another one

Ninja never say done

Ready for another one

Wonder why my power's gone

Ready for another one

A land where greed has overrun

Are ya ready for another one?

I've never been easily spooked by the creatures in the dark

But what started as a friendly visit went up with a spark

As I try to get by with the Lowly, my family continues to grow

Though as I go even deeper, a feeling fills me from my toes

It fills every part of my soul from within

I feel so strong, like we might really win

My family surrounds me, unwavering as stone

Now let's face the dragon of bone

This adventure ain't over

I watch the clock for the morning sun

I know when it's over

I'll just be ready for another one

Ready for another one

Ninja never say done

Ready for another one

Wonder why my power's gone

Ready for another one

A land where greed has overrun

Are ya ready for another one?

You don’t look like you belong here

Did you pinch yourself to see

If you’d wake up from a nightmare

Or could YOU STILL BE ASLEEP?

Mary Elaine LeBey: Song of the Day - Happy 85th Birthday to my favorite Ivie Anderson song… "Rose of the Rio Grande" ...

Ivie was the vocalist with Duke Ellington’s band for many years in the 30s, and is one of my most adored artists. She eventually became sick and had to leave the band, but these recordings are, of course, eternal.

85 years ago today, June 7th, 1938, the band and Ivie recorded three classics: "You Gave Me the Gate (and I'm Swingin')" and "When My Sugar Walks Down the Street", and this beauty, “Rose of The Rio Grande”.

The song was composed by Harry Warren and Ross Gorman with lyrics by Edgar Leslie, and this perfect version features the best Ellington assemblage: Duke on the ivories, Ivie on local, Wallace Jones, Cootie Williams, and Rex Stewart on trumpets, Lawrence Brown, Joe Nanton, and Juan Tizol on trombones - the great solo in this track being from Brown, Sonny Greer on drums, Billy Taylor on bass, Barney Bigard on clarinet, Johnny Hodges, Otto Hardwick, and Harry Carney on saxes, and Fred Guy on guitar.

This track has been on my “playlist” since I was about six.

All three of the tunes recorded today in this session are stellar, but this one is super special - to me anyway. It just swings, and is just a purely happy track…

My father had a big swing jazz band, and Basie and Ellington were particularly major gods in my home, so this brand of music was in my ears and soul from birth… and these tunes and records and arrangements were woven into my soul.

This tune always takes me back to a comfort zone of “everything’s gonna be just fine”…

Simple and simply delightful. “Rose of the Rio Grande Rose of the border land One word then hand in hand We'll leave the preacher's side room Happy little bride and bridegroom Over those hills of sand I've got your love nest planned You claim it I'll name it Rose of Rio Grande”

[Scott Horton]

I'm still working on this one for Buzz, it's taking so long because I haven't had too much time to knit this month. Getting close though. one! more! sleeve!

Gardening:

Buzz and I made a video documenting our garden this summer. We mostly wanted to play around with a new camera Buzz bought, but it turned into a really fun project. I accompanied the video with some harp music I had recorded years ago.

Misc:

This is from our little day trip to NYC at the beginning of August. Can you tell we are sisters? lol

We went on a camping trip this Labor Day with Mike, Meg and Kiva to the Pine Barrens. There's Mike, standing on a cool pine tree on Lake Nummy!

I think that's it for August! <3 Heeyoon

So I'm a little crazy and I'm definitely impulsive when I've been drinking so last night I was "emotionally tipsy" as I've been describing it and sent a message to the songwriter and pianist for the band Thriving Ivory. The song "Alien" that I mention you can listen to here (https://open.spotify.com/track/58Xez8Kt1TR9byqbxEPYwH?si=RpT3agI9SLmvkmHD2CVv4A). Anyway, I sent him that message and he not only responded to me thanking me for sharing that with him, but also posted about it on his personal Facebook page AND the band's page. I have so many feelings and thoughts about all this and I want to cry, but I'm so honored. He didn't have to respond, he didn't even have to read my message. But he did. He read it, responded, and shared with his world. My message had that much of an impact. Their music means so much to me. More than I think I could even tell them if I got a chance to sit down with them and have time to actually tell them. This just solidifies how wonderful music is for the world.

Dark Academia Film List

Hello everyone! I've been wanting to make a film recommendation list for some while and it was @bewitchedlady who encouraged me to bring this to life (gratias maximas, love). It is important to remember that the “academia” aesthetic is not restricted with classic literature or mythology, music and films can also be an integral part of this subgenre. 

This list includes films that have an academic, arthouse, and intelligent atmosphere regarding storyline or visuals. In this list, I tried to add great films as well as not-so-great ones, and in my opinion, they are all worth seeing.

Recommendations to this list are always welcome! I’ll be especially very happy if you recommend films that are non-English, pre-2000s, or female directed ones.
