Hi Ladies. Hope you’re having a good week! I have a question about popular writers I haven’t seen around in a while. Did @Jayhawk-writes and her friend @teddyshoney leave the fandom? If so, they are missed. Thanks for responding.

I haven’t seen anything by @jayhawk-writes for a long time, and @teddyshoney for over a year. Hope they are reading this and know their work is appreciated, and hope they will return soon.

I really appreciate it! Feedback is always welcome ♡

You and Dean pulled up in front of a gas station; needing to stop for gas and maybe a few snacks before the two of you continued your almost four-hour long journey back to the Bunker. You and Dean had just spent the weekend in Lawrence, due to the very rare occurrence that there were no cases. You had told Dean that even though you’d been living at the Bunker with him and Sam for the past couple of years, you had never once been to Lawrence even though you could have easily made a day trip out of it. With that being said, Dean was more than happy to take you and show you around, reminiscing about some of the things that he remembered doing all those years ago back when he was four; back before everything. But that’s not all the trip was, you had done some other things too; like visiting the Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum – which was considered to be one of the best museums in the entire state of Kansas, along with Grinter Farms – who prided themselves on their sunflower photo-ops. You enjoyed both places immensely, and were happy that Dean did too, even if he wasn’t initially keen on going to either place at first.

“I’m gonna grab us some snacks while you do the pump.” You said, grabbing your wallet from the glove compartment. Once you closed it and before you exited the car, you looked over at Dean, who was currently giving you the most serious look on his face. “What?”

“You already know what I’m going to say Sweetheart.” His tone sounding just as serious as his facial expression had looked. 

“Pie.” You said in unison.

“Cherry or apple?” You asked, the two of you getting out of the car at the same time.

“Like you have to ask.” Dean stated, opening up the fuel cap.

“Just making sure Dean. I mean, I don’t want to come out with apple when you really wanted cherry.” Your comment earned a slight chuckle from him.

“I’ll be getting some cherry pie later, don’t you worry.” He winked.

“I don’t think that applies to me anymore.” You smirked.

“We can always pretend.” He started fueling Baby just then. 

“Now that’s a roleplay idea I can get behind.” You winked at him before making your way into the store.

As soon as you walked into the store to grab some snacks for the two of you – one of which needed to be pie; a car pulled up the next pump over with a group of about four men who all appeared to be from the University of Kansas solely based on their Jayhawks apparel. “I don’t know dude. I’m pretty sure that chick was into me.” One of the men said, causing the one that he was talking to, to roll his eyes.

“No dude. She was into me. She was giving me the old fuck me eyes. Did you not see that? Or were you too busy looking at her ass?” He laughed. It was the other guy’s turn to roll his eyes.

“Can you blame me? You could bounce a quarter off that thing.” The young man replied.

“Hell yeah you could!” The other one agreed, giving each other a high five. 

There was a part of Dean that found their conversation funny because he had remembered when he was like that; but it hadn’t been for some time. Yes, there were times when he was still like that, but it was solely reserved for one woman: and that woman was you.

“Check out that piece of ass in the store there.” Another one of the men who hadn’t talked before was talking now. His comment caused Dean to turn in their direction and then back into the store. There was no other person that they could be talking about but you, as you were the only person in there besides the clerk behind the counter; and Dean was pretty sure they weren’t talking about the balding clerk.

“Bet she’s a good fuck.” One of the men said. Oh you have no idea. Dean thought to himself. 

“I’ll bet you thirty bucks that I can convince her to have sex with me.” The first guy said, the one that had noticed you in the first place.

“Dude, there’s no fucking way she’d have sex with you.” The next guy said. “Look at her! She’s way out of your league. Plus, even if you could pull her, where are the two of you gonna do it uh? The dirty gas station bathroom?” 

“Sure why not? I bet she wouldn’t mind it at all.” He winked. His comment caused Dean to chuckle a little to himself, knowing how wrong that guy was. You and Dean have had sex in a variety of different places, but never a gas station bathroom. “Dean, as much as I love you, I’m not fucking in a gas station bathroom. That’s honestly my only limitation.” You once told him. “So, Waffle House bathroom is okay then?” He joked back, causing you to give him a playful smack on the arm from his remark. 

“Dude, she’s not gonna give you the time of day. She needs a real man. And that ain’t you.” The man started walking around to the other side of the pump and started making his way toward the store. You ain’t a real man dude. Dean thought to himself. None of them were what he would call a man, only boys pretending to be.

“Watch and learn boys!” The guy said using his most charismatic voice. Dean wasn’t worried at all; he knew that you would never give the guy the time of day. You two had been together for the last couple of years, and the group of quote on quote men weren’t remotely your type in the slightest. Dean had seen pictures of your previous exes or have worked cases with them before. All your previous exes besides about one were all hunters; not varsity jock looking guys, and that’s what those guys were.

“Hey kid, I wouldn’t if I were you.” Dean finally chimed in. At first, he wasn’t even going to say anything. He had almost wanted to see the boy come back out the store with the look of utter embarrassment on his face when you had rejected him; which he knew was going to happen. But the jealous side of him won in that moment. He knew that you were more than capable of handling yourself – you were one of the best hunters he’d ever seen or worked with. He’d seen you get hit on plenty of times either when you two went to the bar together or while working a case; but those men never seemed like threats to him. But this time, this time felt different for him.

“I’m sorry?” The guy questioned.

“I said, I wouldn’t if I were you.” Dean said, his voice a bit more stern than usual.

“What’s it to you?” The guy asked, giving a slight snort.

“She’s going to reject you buddy. Trust me.” Dean finished filling the car up and put the pump back in its place. “Just trying to save you the embarrassment in front of your buddies here.”

“Oh yeah? Why do you say that?” The guy turned to look at you. You were currently standing at the counter laughing, probably at something the clerk had just said with two apple pie containers in your hands. Although Dean couldn’t hear your laugh, the sound of it echoed in his brain. God, he loved the sound of your laugh.

“That piece of ass” Dean began to say, hating using the words that they had used to describe you, “is my girlfriend.” Dean smirked. He had hoped that his usual tactic would work like it had done in the past. In the past, whenever Dean was with a woman; regardless if she was his girlfriend or not, the minute he said the word girlfriend to another guy that was hitting on his girlfriend, date, etc. the guy would usually back off, not wanting to get into any trouble. But his usual tactic didn’t work, it had simply just made the guy laugh.

“Your girlfriend?” The man laughed again. “Yeah, okay Old Man.” 

“Old, Old Man?” Dean was caught off guard. No one had ever really called him an old man before; the only one who ever did it was Claire, but she was the exception, because she was basically family to him.

“Yeah. What are you? Like 50?” The guy behind him chimed in.

Dean turned around. “50? You think I’m 50? I’m 42 dude.” Yet more laughter from the men.

“Close enough.” The man that was close to the store said. At that moment Dean had saw you wave goodbye to the clerk and started to head out toward the door. The man looked at you, and then eyed his buddies, making his way toward Dean. “Listen, tell her that if she wants someone that can keep it up without the use of meds and doesn’t go to bed before 6, to give me a call.” The guy said, giving Dean’s shoulder a slight pat before going into the car with his other three buddies.

Dean started to take out his gun just as the guy in the driver’s seat started the engine. Before he could fully take out his gun you were standing next to him, two boxes of pie in your hands and a slight look of worry on your face. “Can I shoot them?” He asked you. 

“Not in public.” You responded, handing him one of the boxes. “What did they say to you?” You were curious, and you had every right to be. Even though you were accustomed to Dean pulling out his gun, you were confused as to why he had wanted to pull it out in that moment, especially since you were pretty sure that the men in the car weren’t any kind of monsters.

“Nothing.” Dean was quick to respond, but his response sounded angry, almost hurt.

“It didn’t look like nothing. Especially since you asked if you could shoot them.” Dean handed you back the box of pie that you had just given him, causing you to give him an even more worried look.

“Can we just leave?” His voice was panicked now, maybe with a small hint of embarrassment.

“Yeah.” Was all you said as the two of you got into Baby.

There was a strong silence between the two of you, and it wasn’t the comfortable kind like you were used to. That was one of the things that you had loved most about Dean; that you and him didn’t constantly need to fill the silence with talking. It was something that you enjoyed because your past boyfriends always needed to have some kind of conversation going because they hated the silence. “Y/N, can I ask you something?”

“Always.” You turned your attention to Dean.

“Am I…Am I old?” He asked. His eyes flicked in your direction and then back onto the road.

“Old?” You asked, not sure if you had heard him right. Him asking if he was old was something that had caught you off guard.

“Yeah. Am I old?” He repeated again.

“Did those guys back there say you were old Dean?” This conversation topic was something that Dean would have never brought up, not unless someone had specifically said something to him. The last time he had this conversation with you was because Claire had jokingly called him an Old Man.

“You didn’t answer the question.” Dean stated. You were positive that’s what it was.

“No. You’re not old Dean. I don’t even know why you would think that.” You knew why he would think that; you were pretty sure that the men back at the gas station had said something to him about it. But you didn’t know why they would have said something to him.

“Those guys back at the gas station called me…Old Man.” His voice sounded slightly defeated, like he was embarrassed even though he had no reason to be. “I caught those assholes looking at you, making comments.” He turned to face you for a slight moment before looking back at the road, his knuckles started to turn white as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. “They were trying to make a bet about who would be able to pick you up. When I confronted them about it, telling them that you were my girlfriend, that’s when they laughed and called me an old man.”

“Dean –” You began to say, but he cut you off before you could finish.

“Sweetheart, I know you could have handled that yourself. You have a black belt in three different martial arts and you don’t take any kind of shit from anyone. Hell, a part of me had wanted to see you embarrass the guy because I know for a fact that he isn’t your type but…he was your age.” He was your age. 

“Well, you’re not old. It’s not like you’re 90 Dean. You’re 42. That’s still young.” You stated, putting your hand on his thigh, a small gesture that you knew he loved. You had hoped that your comment would make him feel slightly better.

“I’m not young Sweetheart, you are. I got like 15 years on you.” His response made your face drop.

“That’s never been a problem for you before. I mean, it’s not like I’m 17 Dean, I’m three years shy of 30.” When you first met Dean, it was roughly five years ago when you were 22 and he was 37. Initially when you had first met him, you had figured that the two of you would be nothing more than just friends due to the semi-massive age difference that there was between the two of you, despite the fact that you did find him attractive. For the first couple of years that you knew him, you didn’t try to pursue anything; and neither did he, although the two of you had similar feelings. Dean had figured that you wouldn’t want to be with someone his age, and you thought that he didn’t want to be with someone your age. It wasn’t until Cas said something and both of you almost dying on a hunt that caused you two to realize that maybe you should give it a shot – and you’ve been together ever since.

“Exactly. You’re three years shy of 30. I’m far, far past that. You know what I was doing at 30? Trying to stop the Apocalypse. When I was 30, you were still in high school. You weren’t even on my radar back then.” 

“Would have been pretty good jailbait though.” You joked.

“Not funny.” He responded.

“I’m not laughing.” You said back.

“Can I ask you another question?” His knuckles were still white against the steering wheel. 

“Of course.” What else could you possibly say?

“Why me? Why out of all the guys you could possibly be with, that are your own age, that you actively choose to be with me? I mean, I know I drink too much, I have way, way too many screws loose, I’ve been to Hell, Purgatory, been possessed more times than I can count, I have major trust issues, PTSD.” He looked over at you again. “The list goes on and on. I’m all kinds of fucked up Sweetheart.” Your heart sank at Dean’s comments. You hated more than anything when he talked bad about himself, because there was no reason for him to do that. 

“Pull over.” Was all you said.

Dean looked at you with a confused expression. “What?”

“Did I stutter? I said pull over.” Your voice was stern now, but it made Dean pull over on the side of the road.

“Dean, the fact that you even have to ask me why I’m with you shows me that you don’t actually realize or understand the reasons why I love you. You’re right, I could be with someone my own age. But you know what? I don’t want to. I’ve dated people my age, and they honestly suck. Hunters or not, men my age or even a year or two older have no fucking clue what they want in life. The only thing they’re positive about is wanting to fuck anything that has a pulse and gaslight women.” You let out a frustrated sigh. “My parents used to tell me, ‘not all men,’ and I knew that. You may have a slight case of alcoholism –”

“A slight case?” Dean interrupted, raising an eyebrow. He thought you saying that he only had a slight case of alcoholism was a tad too generous.

You pointed a finger at him. “Don’t interrupt me.” Dean put up his hands in defeat. “As I was saying. You may have a slight case of alcoholism, are insanely prone to nightmares, get angry more often than you probably should, enjoy murder every now and then, have been to Hell and Purgatory and back, but wanna know something? I’ll take all of that, gladly! Because you are honestly the best man I could ever ask for. Yes, you have some flaws, but who doesn’t? I mean look at me for example.” You went into your jacket and pulled out your hunting knife. “I’m someone who brings a hunting knife wherever they go like it’s a security blanket. No normal person does that Dean.”

“As you should. You need to be prepared at a moments notice.” He agreed.

“Exactly! No sane person would agree with me.” You said, putting back your hunting knife.

“Y/N, are you saying that part of the reason you’re with me is because I’m not sane?” He raised an eyebrow. He’s been called crazy or insane more times than he could count, so this wasn’t particularly newsworthy for him.

“I was thinking more…cautious.” You shrugged. “I mean…No, cautious isn’t the right word. You are cautious but…” You were really trying to come up with the right word to tell Dean, and you could feel it on the tip of your tongue. “What I’m trying to say is, any other guy would be freaked the fuck out if they saw me walking around with a hunting knife in my jacket. You? You couldn’t give two fucks. And you wanna know something else? I’ve worked with a lot of hunters over the years before I met up with you and Sam, who just looked at me and laughed because of my age, thinking that I don’t know the difference between rock salt and holy water.” You took one of his hands in yours intertwining your fingers. “You, not including Sam of course, accepted me as someone that actually knows a thing or two about hunting despite my age. You treated me like your equal. Hunter or not.”

You treated me like your equal. Your words rang in Dean’s mind. “Of course I treat you like my equal Sweetheart. What man wouldn’t? ‘Sides those other hunters and the Jayhawks spirit squad back there.” He chuckled, and you let out a small laugh too.

“Exactly. You’re a feminist icon.” You smiled.

“A feminist icon uh? Who knew?” Dean finally smiled.

“In all seriousness, I could give a rat’s ass about your age. You treat me right and my parents love you. What else could I possibly ask for?” You gave his hand a slight squeeze as you shot him another smile, but a softer one this time.

“Still amazed that your parents love me.” He said, starting to lean in closer to you.

“You treat their daughter right. That’s all they care about.” You confessed. When you had first told your parents about Dean, one of the first things they asked is if he was treating you right, they never asked about his age. And when they had met him, they still never commented on that fact, even when he wasn’t in the room.

He caressed your face. “I really am lucky to have you.” He smiled and leaned in fully to kiss you. “I love you so much.”

You smiled. “I love you more.”

He let out a slight chuckle. “Show off.”

“Always.” You responded, leaning in to kiss him again.

The Roulette is back, Peeps!

Hey! I'm sorry for my hiatus. Life was keeping my head closing to the underwater level, but I think I'm finally getting back to the shallow end on life's ocean. LOL.

Gale Eugene Sayers (May 30, 1943 - September 23, 2020) was a former football player who earned acclaim both as a halfback and return specialist in the NFL. He spent seven seasons with the Chicago Bears, though multiple injuries effectively limited him to five seasons of play. He was known for his elusiveness and agility and was regarded by his peers as one of the most difficult players to tackle.

Nicknamed the “Kansas Comet”, he played college football for the Kansas Jayhawks, where he compiled 4,020 all-purpose yards over three seasons and was twice recognized as a consensus All-American. He set a league record by scoring 22 touchdowns, including a record-tying six in one game, and gained 2,272 all-purpose yards en route to being named the NFL’s Rookie of the Year. He continued this production through his first five seasons, earning four Pro Bowl appearances and five first-team All-Pro selections. A right knee injury forced him to miss the final five games, but he returned to lead the NFL in rushing yards and be named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. An injury to his left knee, as well as subsequent injuries, kept him sidelined for most of his final two seasons.

His friendship with Bears teammate Brian Piccolo inspired him to write his autobiography, I Am Third, which in turn was the basis for the movie Brian’s Song. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and remains the youngest person to receive the honor. He was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team as a halfback and kick returner, the only player to occupy two positions on the team. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame the same year. His jersey number (40/48, respectively) is retired by both the Bears and the University of Kansas. He began a career in sports administration and business and served as the athletic director of Southern Illinois University. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #kappaalphapsi

Choo Choo La Rouge — The Sunshine State (Kiam)

Choo Choo La Rouge is like the cicadas, emerging once a generation or so from hibernation to make a racket. Their first album, Wall to Wall, landed in my mail box at the dawn of the aughts, just as I was getting started writing about music. It had a banger called “People Are Yelling,” that much I remember. The rest is lost to history.Eight years later, Choo Choo La Rouge dropped Black Clouds, and then, again, a long pause. Now the band — which includes Vincent Scorziello on the mic and guitar, Chris Lynch on bass and vocals and sometime Jon Langmead on drums — has returned, the sound not much altered from twang-tinged aughts indie. You picture them pushing out of the loamy soil, cocking an antenna to take in the changed landscape and picking right back up where they left off with their song.

Not that that’s a bad thing, necessarily. The opener, “Hell Is Future Fire,” slinks on tautened bass vamp, unfurls in meaty guitar-driven climax.It takes flight in well-tuned harmonies and lets loose a judicious guitar solo made of long bent notes and wailing vibrato. There’s not a loose connection in the whole thing, and the words are wry and eccentric. “I don’t care about consequences, my conscious is retired,” sings Scorziello in a sly sidewinding way. “Come and burn with me today, tomorrow we might have to pay, tomorrow is so far away.” The track gets a boost from some background vocals, from label head (and long-time Langmead collaborator) Jennifer O’Connor and her partner Amy Bezunartea.

Choo Choo la Rouge mixes power blast rock with arch literacy, as on “Release” with its punching riffs that clear, suddenly, for wry self-deprecation. A rockabilly guitar bursts forth at the bridge, struts its stuff and falls quiet. “Look What You Done” is another energized rave-up, flaring and wailing in sharp one-two bursts. But other cuts veer towardscountripolitan wit, as in the swirling, psych-tinged “I Wish that I Could Be,” which could be a Jayhawks song.

All of which is to say that Choo Choo la Rouge is quite good at an art form that’s been more or less abandoned, the tight bristly indie rock anthems played on real instruments by regular guys without much ornamentation. A song called “The Seventies Are Still Ringing In My Ears,” kind of sums it up. The music is super solid and comforting to listeners above a certain age, but it sounds like the band has been sleeping since the last one. And why not? What good has happened since 2009 anyway?

Anyways, I have a tendency recently to traumatize some of my favorite characters.

TW: Mentions of abuse, DV, SA, CSA, Depression

Jacob: One of my favorite characters in the entire series. Goofy, batshit crazy, loves harder than life has fucked him over. Dad SA’ed him for 12 years, but he broke out of it and moved from London to America. I really try to show that there’s healing that needs to be done, and he is working on it in therapy.

Anna: Our ball of sunshine and adoration was kicked out of home at 16 for being trans 🏳️‍⚧️ Her parents never return.

Hazel: Big, strong Daddy Dom with a heart of gold. His little sister died of Leukemia at a really young age. He prefers to take care of medical stuff that can be done at home. It’s a comfort in a way.

Adam: Tiny authoritarian, unofficial top of the polycule, sadist, but really really fucking kind right to his core. Horrible depression, like the worst you can get.

Steven: AHHH I KNOW HE HAD TRAUMA BEFORE BUT AFTER HE LEFT BEACH CITY WITH NO FUCKING GUIDANCE AND BARELY ANY HUMAN SKILLS YOU JUST KNOW HE WAS GONNA WALK INTO A BAD SITUATION OKAY?!?? Allison Adams, his ex girlfriend, was quite possibly one of the most abusive (and she’s still around trying to make his life hell) partners I’ve ever written. I loathe writing about her, she makes me physically angry. Stevens still healing, but mostly moved on.

Alex: Had to stop his mom from icing herself after he blew up at her, call an ambulance and then has been feeling awful about it ever since. He’s long ago apologized profusely and his mom and him are on good terms. You don’t forget about something like that though.

But not everyone has significant trauma affecting their lives that I added. Connie’s is the same more or less, just at Jayhawk she got bullied for… well, being a nerd and no one believed her about anything she went through. Jasmin doesn’t have much trauma wise either.

I don’t know why I destroy my characters’ mental health? Maybe my mother is rubbing off on me 😂😂😂

Random Archival Dig 11 (3-23-23)

More from The Jayhawks Archive HERE

Compilation Special Edition - part 2

Jayhawks music has appeared on a number of compilations over the years dating all the way back to 1986. These releases have included many radio station live session collections, promo samplers, some totally random concoctions and even a few film soundtracks.

By 1994, the soundtrack album boom was in full effect. Releases like the highly successful Singles soundtrack in 1992 showed that there was gold in these particular hills, so the rush was on for artists to get in on the action.

The Jayhawks first stab was with Blown Away, a mostly forgotten 1994 action thriller starring Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones and Forest Whitaker, where they shared a soundtrack CD with a haphazard mish mash of artists like U2, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Pogues and Aretha Franklin. The Jayhawks contribution was “Darling Today,” a catchy little number with an infectious Karen Grotberg piano lick that has never appeared on any Jayhawks studio album.

Blown Away soundtrack album

Aside from the Blown Away soundtrack, “Darling Today” showed up on two 1995 European releases: as a b-side of the “Blue” CD single and on the bonus disc of a deluxe 2CD version of Tomorrow the Green Grass.

It was also released on a promo 7 inch single in 2009 and was collected on the rarities disc of the Music From the North Country Anthology from the same year.“

2009 Music From The North Country Anthology

Darling Today” has been performed live, but very rarely, making only a few appearances in Jayhawks setlists in 1993, 1995 and 2011.

The 2001 film Monsters Ball made quite a splash that year, winning many accolades and a Best Actress Oscar for Halle Berry (the film also starred Billy Bob Thornton and Heath Ledger). The soundtrack album that was released featured mostly original instrumental music done by Asche and Spencer, a Minneapolis-based team specializing in such things. Half of Asche and Spencer just happened to be Thad Spencer, who drummed for The Jayhawks in the late 80s, including on the Blue Earth album. After leaving The Jayhawks, Spencer opened a commercial recording studio in downtown Minneapolis, which soon led to his soundtrack work. This studio, by the way, was the location of the first Mystery Demos session in early 1992.

The Jayhawks contribution to the Monsters Ball soundtrack was “I’m Your Man,” an original Gary Louris composition that was demo-ed in 2001 in the early stages of the long pre-production period for Rainy Day Music. “I’m Your Man” is exclusive to this release and there are no known live performances.

Monster's Ball soundtrack album

Here’s a CDR liner from a May 2001 demo collection with an early version of “I’m Your Man.”

Other interesting tidbits from this collection: -- Two future Rainy Day Music songs, “You Look So Young” and “Angel Eyes” (aka “Angelyne”). -- Two RDM bonus tracks, "Fools on Parade" and “Say Your Prayers.” Full band versions of both songs were included on the 2CD deluxe version of RDM in 2003. -- Two songs performed live by The Jayhawks in 2001/2, “In the Canyon” (a 2001 live version was included on the 2014 RDM reissue) and “This World is Crazy” (a co-write with Jessi Alexander, who released her own version on her 2005 Honeysuckle Sweet album). -- Several songs that remain unreleased.

About-face by quizasvivamos

At the start of the Marching Band season his sophomore year, Blaine is the youngest Drum Major in McKinley High history.

~~~~

Everybody’s naked and there’s a country to run by @coffeegleek

A take on the "prince/king!Blaine and prince/king!Kurt are getting married and have to do it while naked in front of their loyal subjects" trope. It’s pure crack taken seriously. I’m blaming the heat. The fic started as this wisp of an idea and a single funny Kurt line. It was supposed to all be fast paced and instead sometimes dissolves into a bit of world building, exposition, and Kurt feelings. I do try my best and hope that at least some of the jokes and humor land. It also developed a full blown plot that has a beginning and an end.

~~~~

Braid of Gold by @jayhawk-writes

Kurt and Blaine ask Caphriel to make the decision about where they go next. He chooses a lifetime where Kurt and Blaine will have to navigate a situation they've not yet been in. They'll have to work through loss and betrayal and ultimately, their bond will be stronger as a family because of it.

It's all working out great - until Kurt starts to fall hard for the dark-haired music director of his latest musical.

~~~~~

Reprise by orphan-account  [PDF]

During Kurt's senior year at NYADA, a life-changing event causes him to take a leave of absence and what was supposed to be a short stay turns into years. His life certainly isn't what he expected, but he's not exactly unhappy. His name is not lit up in lights on Broadway, but he's involved in community theater and LGBTQ groups in Columbus and has friends who love him and casual lovers. But turning 35 has made him restless and he's longing for the life he had before. Burt talks him into taking some classes at Ohio State University to finish his degree and start focusing on himself again. What Kurt finds on the OSU campus is much more than he bargained for.

~~~~

Turn Into a Pose by @little-escapist  

Singer-songwriter Blaine Anderson wants to come out of the closet. When his publicist sets him up with movie-star Kurt Hummel, he’s ready for anything, but the last thing that Kurt wants is a relationship with anyone, let alone Blaine. He hates his publicist for setting him up, hates the idea of lying to the world, and hates letting the world invade his personal life. But maybe Blaine Anderson is exactly what Kurt Hummel needs.

Spinning out by @rockitmans

Blaine is smitten with his college roommate literally upon arrival and decides that he's an excellent candidate for losing his virginity with. After all, what's better for Roomie Bonding than penetration between friends?

He decides to attend, and shortly after his arrival, he hears a strange voice beckoning him down a forbidden hallway. Kurt begins a relationship with the voice, unsure why he finds him so intriguing and why his heart beats more rapidly each time he thinks about the voice. Who does the voice belong to? And what does it want with him?

~~~~~

Since Sense Sensory by @gleefulpoppet

So, the @gleeful-paintbox-project prompt got me inspired to write a little ficlet, which got me inspired to leave this open-ended so I can fill other prompts in a similar style. So, here we are with Glee According to Kurt Hummel.

The first ficlet in this...series?...is called Mr. Cellophane, in which Kurt is standing backstage, waiting to audition for the New Directions.

Ficlet below the cut. Or you can read it on AO3 or FF.net.

Kurt Hummel stood backstage behind the curtain, taking deep breaths and trying to calm the butterflies currently stirring up a tornado in his stomach. He thought he was going to be sick.

He could hear the clear, strong voice of Mercedes Jones demanding R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and it added more fear to the lump in his throat. He began to second-guess himself. Am I actually going to do this?

A beat went by, a beat of indecision. I shouldn't do this. It was a silly idea. I thought I could fit in somewhere, but I don't know how important that really is. I'm okay on my own. Right. Right? Am I? He immediately remembered some of the thoughts he had earlier in the hallway outside the counselor's office and shuddered. Maybe I'm not. Am I really going to do this?

He reminded himself that he had to. He could hear his dad's voice in his head, telling him that he wanted him to join a club. The request had come out as a do-this-or-else command, but Kurt had grown to know his father well enough since his mother's death to understand that his dad was looking out for him as best he could. He loved him, no matter how gruff he sounded or misunderstood Kurt felt at times. Kurt loved his dad, too, and appreciated his concern.

It did little to help the butterflies, though. Am I ready for this? I've never sung in front of other people before. What if they make fun of me? What if I sound bad? What if I can't hit that high note? Why didn't I pick a different song? Should I go a little more Top 40?

Then his thoughts shifted gears, moving to the future. He loved watching reality TV, and he had been on a kick recently, watching cast reunions and interviews. Will I make friends like that? he wondered. Will there be people I remember fondly, want to see at class reunions? Will I find someone who actually wants to be friends, who sees me for who I am? The thought Who knows I'm gay? flashed through his head, too, but he shoved that backward. Better to not be too hopeful, he told himself.

Just then, he heard Mercedes sing her final note. Then, there was the sound of Mr. Schuster's voice, saying something to her.

He took another deep breath in through his mouth and closed his eyes, letting it out ever so slowly through his nose. Center yourself. Focus. You can do this. Maybe it will even be fun.

He opened his eyes just as Mercedes walked by him, and he made himself give her a smile, however unconvincing. Then, he heard Mr. Schuster call out for the next person, and he took one last deep breath before he squared his shoulders and headed out on the stage. I just have to try. If I don't like it, I don't have to join. This doesn't have to define my high school career.

The next thing he knew, he was standing on the "X" in the middle of the stage. His voice came out stronger than he expected when he said, "Hello. I'm Kurt Hummel, and I'll be singing Mr. Cellophane."

Music Man Layng Martine (Bloodshot) (released 19 May, 2023)

I'm cribbing most of my notes from my brother's take on Layng Martine, an artist I knew nothing about beyond seeing this album cover in my brother's "Recently bought on bandcamp" notifications and wondering who the old dude was.

Turns out he is a long time songwriter who has penned tunes for the likes of Elvis Presley (the artist's final single Way Down in 1977) and the insufferable Billy "Crash" Craddock (the god-awful Rub It In, a staple of lousy bar bands in the 1970s and 80s and one of the single worst songs in all of songwriting history). Had I known that Layng was responsible for this without having heard his voice on a video via God's Jukebox, I would have avoided this album like the plague. But that would have been seriously close minded. After all Martine wrote for other artists as well since he was in college. All songwriters write at least one terrible tune (look at The Beatles who are responsible for the likes of Now and Then) and it isn't exactly as if Martine didn't make some serious money off Rub It In when it became that annoying Glade Air Freshener commercial ("Plug It In! Plug It In!"). But I digress. The song I heard that absolutely captivated me was Little Bit of Magic and Martine's voice is golden. I've heard the song exactly twice and it is still rumbling through my head (in a good way) three weeks later.

Martine happens to be the father of Tucker Martine, record producer who has produced the likes of Laura Veirs (and was her husband for several years until recently), the Jayhawks, Camera Obscura and The Decemberists. Despite his father's years in the music business, Tucker gave his father a great birthday gift: time in a studio and a band that includes the likes of Peter Buck, Laura Veirs and Bill Frisell among others. The end result was this record, the first of Martine's career.

Above you see the album cover and the back of the album. Below you can see the hype sticker close up.

The next two photos are of the front and back of the inner sleeve.

The album is pressed on silver vinyl. Below are my standard two shots to show the colors in full raging glory.

Both sides of this label show up in the last two photographs below.
