Once again thinking about au’s of other heroes trying to figure out Spidey’s identity and getting way off base:

MJ has a stint as a fashion model for a bit and only trusted Peter to take her photos (worried about being sabotaged by other people in the industry)

And she makes sure to drill into his head all the stuff that she’s modeling as well as any other fashion things she thinks he needs to know about (a mix of what she just wants him to know, and so that no one can try and say he doesn’t belong there)

So it keeps coming out every now and then that Spiderman is weirdly knowledgeable about fashion trends and designers and stuff, and everyone has different theories for why he would know all that

(Johnny Storm is convinced Spidey is a model)

hello!! if its alright i'd like to request headcanons for step 1 Qiu and Tamarack with a fem!reader who aspires to be an idol. they like to practice idol and vocaloid dances and wear frilly dresses and accessories. If you want too, you could add their reactions in step 2 to reader actually posting dance covers online and getting popular on social media. :3

thank you!!! I hope this isnt too complicated and makes sense <3

♦ Qiu & Tamarack with Idol!MC (Step 1 and 2) ♦

► tags/warnings:

► words: 945

► A/N: Hope you enjoy! Little PSA. Since the request specified both Step 1 and Step 2 Tamarack and Qiu, I used he/him pronouns for Step 1 Qiu and switched to exclusively they/them pronouns when I wrote the Step 2 section.

► Masterlist

Tamarack

Step 1 Tamarack Isn't at all familiar with idol culture, or Vocaloid, for that matter;

She is too much of an outdoorsy type to spend too much time online, and I think that at that age, her grandparents wouldn't let her go online, or would only allow it under strict supervision;

So she'd only have access to cool math games or things of that nature;

Mc would be her first exposure to idol culture;

Tamarack would ask SO MANY questions! It's something so important to her new friend that she'd like to know everything about it!;

She'd be FASCINATED by the frilly dresses, and would likely BEG to try on any of the hair accessories;

You can trust her to always be there, cheering MC on when she's practising, and Tamarack would be happy to help her come up with ideas for her future idol career;

Like, coming up with call and responses, fandom names and stuff;

Likely, practising with her around wouldn't be really helpful because she'd be dancing along to an entirely different choreography or excitedly cheering MC on;

It's amazing for morale but not so much for memorising your steps! ;

Also, at that age, she’ll be painfully blunt if she doesn’t like something, so she’s the best person MC can go to for honest opinions about stuff;

In Step 2, she still shows her support but in more practical ways!

Like helping MC set up their camera to film, or be able to give her pointers on how the audio sounds;

She's always the first person to like and comment on the videos, and is insanely proud of MC's newfound popularity, although she is not surprised at all that it happened;

I mean, she saw firsthand how hard she worked. How much she struggled and how much practice led to all the skills MC perfected over the years;

Of course she would succeed!;

At that age Tamarack is very insecure about herself, so I think part of her would wonder why MC bothers spending time with her now that she's internet-famous;

It's a thought she tries to shake but always comes back to torment her eventually;

Sometimes, when Tamarack thinks that she’ll move away with her parents, she’s thankful for MC’s videos, because they mean she’d still be able to see MC’s face and hear her voice whenever she misses her;

I think at that age, you’d see slight influences from MC’s hobby influencing Tamarack too;

Like, how you see more frills in her dresses, a light-stick charm with MC’s signature colour hanging from her bag and Mc’s covers littering her playlists;

She finds herself learning to play Vocaloid songs on her Cello;

Is still very honest about things she likes and dislikes in MC’s work, but is better at expressing it in a gentler way

Qiu

More familiar than Tamarack on idol culture;

He’s online a bit more, and I can totally see Ren as a Vocaloid fan that would introduce Qiu to it!;

So Step 1 Qiu is blessed with base knowledge, but he’d still ask many questions about it anyway;

Like what style Mc is going for, what songs they know how to sing etc…;

And he’d try to help her as much as possible;

But Qiu helping is a lot more different than Tamarack. Like, he may fumble his ballet choreographies sometimes, but he’d try to help her memorise hers!;

He’ll cheer her on while she practises, like Tamarack, but be more restrained about it and try to give her notes afterwards;

I think he’s also the type to think of ideas during class and pass her a bunch of little written notes from his notepads on things he thought of (including little drawings when he’s able to!);

He is much kinder about criticism, to the point of sometimes being a little too kind and not critical enough;

So he’s the person to go to for reassurance if she’s feeling particularly insecure about her hobby;

He acts a little like MC is already famous, and when questioned he just says, with a smile, that he can sense that she’s going to make it;

So he wants to assert himself as the first member of her fan club!;

Step 2 Qiu is colder, but they’re no less supportive;

Just, perhaps, a little envious of her sense of purpose;

How cool is it that MC has known what she wanted to do and who she wanted to be since she was little? And that, while she has matured, she’s only grown more certain of her dream?;

How they wish they had that same certainty about anything; 

It doesn’t diminish their liking for her. It’s just another way they grow to admire her as they both age;

They find her newfound internet fame a little unsettling, but they're happy for her as long as it’s something she wants and enjoys!;

They know what it’s like for people to have certain expectations about how you act and what you can offer and the last thing they want is for her to burn out like they did;

So they check on her, discreetly. And makes sure MC knows she can always say no, and that her life doesn’t need to revolve around making her fans happy and satisfying their every whim;

Would only carry discreet merch, and would not make a big deal out of being friends with her;

They are still a big fan and supportive of her work, but they want their friendship with MC to be a respite from the turbulence of internet fame rather than an extension of it;

They snap at anyone who recognises MC and make her feel uncomfortable at school

If you think what Max is saying about George is the same as him snitching about Lando, you’re an idiot. Hope this helps!

lol re prev reblog i was just ranting to a friend about how annoying i find that type of rhetoric that credits actors with everything when they usually have the least to contribute. like, they're the assembly line putting it together, they're not the designers - and mash in particular didn't leave room for much improv, they were pretty strict about keeping to the scripts aside from Movie Tonight.

Alda had influence as a writer later on, sure, but they hired him so he could play a guy that had already been written.

idk idg the appeal of imagining that a show was made like you'd make a student film in high school lol, by pointing a camera at someone who's just goofing off. I like good things made with thought behind it.

Post canon fic but it's presented through the incredibly niche framing device of Gus and Matt having a weekly school news/radio show at Hexside where they discuss the goings on of the school + their lives, get calls in from other students, give PSAs, etc. Jerbo is their political correspondent and Skara covers sports. Barcus does a Man (dog?) On The Street bit and also does a weekly fortune. Nobody on earth wants this except me but I want it so bad

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what’s the deal with Mitch and his dad? Last night prompted a lot of Mitch Daddy Issues Marner comments and I was kinda lost. I know he started hockey like. Ridiculously young and there was one video I saw where he mentioned something about like a hockey deal with his dad where he was like yeah I won’t get into that and it had iffy vibes but?

i don't know like. full full details either tbh. but there is this vid from when mitch was little and he and his dad were in a local news story and that's one of the first things i ever saw about mitch. i think his dad's just been a pretty extreme helicoptor parent and made disparaging comments about how ppl dont take mitch seriously bc of his personality and involved himself in mitch's contract negotiations w the leafs to a degree that reflected badly on mitch. i think you can tell how there are definitely problems with their relationship in the way he talks about his dad to the media and how his "father" knows not to mention hockey around him bc he doesn't want to hear it... the evolution of that relationship where mitch now no longer wants him involved. to me......... he just kind of seems like a guy that was like way too heavily invested in his young kid getting into this sport and there's definitely something fractured there bc mitch has a lot of warmth for his mom and his brother when he talks about his family, but sometimes his dad is excluded from that. (AND as a purely speculative section to this, it's interesting that mitch finds himself very attached to dad figures on the team like patrick marleau, matt martin, jumbo, muzz, bogo, etc... like clearly there are some Feelings there and potentially a paternal void that he likes to fill by glomming on to men who aren't afraid to give him affection praise and love that he definitely craves.... there's an essay to be written abt this but i'll save it for someone funnier)

Had THE funniest dream last night

[infernaleikon]

Still thinking about all those magazine au asks/answers from last night! What about if the original idea of the photoshoot was some sort of power imbalance older/younger man dynamic but obikin being obikin it morphed into something completely different and SOFT™? Obi-wan radiating intense “I’m going to take care of you, cherish you, love you” vibes and anakin radiating “I worship you, I adore you, I would follow you to the ends of the earth” energy... unintentionally, of course.

oooooooohhh ooh okay. okay so im still a bit meh about them doing an actually spicy shoot together tbh BUT WHAT IF it is a couple's shoot and anakin substitutes for one of the models. and the concept of this particular pair was supposed to be a power imbalance one. except obi-wan isnt the other model and instead observes/supervises the shoot. anakin is uncomfortable in front of the camera, it's awkward and tense, and they can't seem to make it work.

eventually, obi-wan does step in to try and get anakin to relax a little, but then it ends up morphing with him directing both anakin and the other model because anakin visibly uncoils once obi-wan starts talking to him. and the concept of the shoot goes from a hard power imbalance thing to something softer where the power imbalance still shines through but in the way you described, with the other model radiating "taking care of you, cherishing you, loving you" vibes and anakin sort of melting into "worshipping you, adoring you, needing you" energy. and it works, not just as a shoot, not just because anakin seems to bloom once obi-wan gets going, but it also still fits into the photoshoot concept as a whole.

and if the scenes obi-wan directs are some that he has thought about himself? well nobody but him knows. but now he also knows how anakin would look, has live 3D visions of it, and somehow that's the best and worst thing.
