SOMEONE ELSE HERE WHO LIKE THECADDELSHOW?! marry me/j.

Would you ever be open to like head canons or opinions for TheCaddelShow? Or any slenderverse in general?

HAHA HI absolutely I'll marry you anon/j

Of course I'd be open to doing head canons or opinions. If it's from a slenderverse idk much about, I'll research and give opinions about it. Now that we are at the topic of head canons 👀

THECADDELSHOW HEADCANONS

so first off we'll start with the ✨star✨ (dw Kay is gonna get some love here too) Zachary Caddel.

Zachary Caddel

He reminds me of Evan ALOT. Like they both have resemblance in a way which is cool to me. THEREFORE-

I hc him to listen to like Radiohead and Motörhead too just for shits and giggles. He's like the guy to hate using Spotify and would rather use a CD with like a radio. Like I hc that he gets excited when people ask to see his CD binder cause he likes collecting CDs lolz.

He's def emo. Probably had a "it's not a phase mom" phase.

He's from the south so my HC is that when he gets real excited or angry, the Southern accent is just like....10000x strong. OMFG HE'S SOUTHERN EVAN LOLZ.

Now for Kay Rosewood

She hasn't really been on camera much (for now) but she kinda reminds me of Vinny (duh, if Zach is like Evan then of COURSE kay would be Vinny) I mean they both wear glasses for crying out loud

I HC her as def like a cool gamer friend. She'd be like the mom friend or somth idk.

LMAO hc that she like drives Zach to Dollar general to get gummies cause of being said mom friend. Lolz.

I'll give her more headcanons when I'm more about her character.

TXT as Vampires

Welcome Ghouls & Goblins,

The TxT's Devil has conjured a fictional version of Tomorrow x Together as vampires. These characters are very little related to the actual men, but it's fun to fantasize. This will be a guide to know what I am writing about in my future projects. Some elements are inspired from AS YOUR VAMPIRE LOVER by @beomiracles enjoy...

Yeonjun

Level: born vampire, oldest of the clan Appearance: pale, raven black hair, dark maroon irises Special Powers: mind reading, can turn people, fast speed, strength Facts: Works as a Phlebotomist, this means he has extreme self control. He is able to take multiple bites from one feeding stopping himself before the victim runs out of blood. Since he's the oldest he knows a lot, so he's always teaching the boys and then gets made fun of for being old :( Suggestive Facts;) He knows he's handsome... he's cocky and a flirt. Since he can read minds he will read yours especially when you aren't able to say what you're really thinking...

Soobin

Level: turned vampire [cause: a way to save his life from intense injury], leader of the clan Appearance: pale, honey blonde, TALL, brown irises that turn into a flame red Special Powers: hypnosis, fast speed, strength Facts: As the leader, he keeps track of spendings in the house and the whereabouts of the boys. Although he was turned, he is excellent at training others if needed (Yeonjun helps too). Suggestive Facts;) Very sweet, doesn't want to take your blood, but he eventually does after you consistently ask. Secretly wants you to have his vampire babies and to make his own lineage.

Beomgyu

Level: born vampire Appearance: interestingly tan, long dark hair, rosewood irises Special Powers: transforms into a bat, fast speed, strength Facts: Gyu likes to spend his nights with werewolves. He also goes around exploring vacant areas (the haunted house down the street, the closed down mall, etc.). He enjoys the old ways of vampirism so he will wear victorian garments and dramatically roam around the clan's castle. Suggestive Facts;) Drains you… can't help it (he can) but he likes they way you taste and fall into his arms :(( Wants to do it EVERYWHERE, in every part of the castle, in a coffin, in the woods, maybe even his favorite old buildings.

Taehyun

Level: born vampire Appearance: pale, untamed platinum blonde, occasionally dyes his hair red, ruby red irises Special Powers: hypnosis, mind reading, can turn people, fast speed, immense strength Facts: Tae was brought up in a very traditional vampire household (never interacted with humans only fed on them, stayed in the dark) thats why he knows a lot of the powers that get personal. However, since he has been with the clan Tae has spread his bat wings: bar hops with yeonjun, having conversations with Kai about humans, reads A LOT of novels from supernatural to humans. Suggestive Facts;) He has self control when it comes to feeding but tends to lose that control when getting intimate. Loves your throat, loves to kiss it, bite it, choke it... Secretly wants to turn you even though he admires your mortality, he just wants you forever.

Huening Kai

Level: turned vampire [cause: victim of a feral vampire], youngest of the clan Appearance: pale, dark brown wavy hair, TALL, brown irises that turn into a bright scarlet Special Powers: recently found out that he can transform into a bat, fast speed, strength Facts: Kai is a baby bat, so he studies the ways of vampires (the boys help). He tends to forget that he’s allergic to the sun, comes back to the castle with steam off his head and burnt. Kai has learned to control himself with feeding on others, but he’s still a bit messy. Suggestive Facts;) He's learned from his ravenous past that bloodsucking is not always good, so he tries to not feast on you but when you give him the go ahead he won't stop. I suggest to invest in turtlenecks because this man loves to mark your neck. You could be human but he loves when you bite and suck on him too.

Let me know your thoughts on vampire!TxT

Ruby, carnelian, sangria, cardinal, rosewood and strawberry for the ask game <33

hi my love <33 kisses your face

ruby: favourite pre-2000 song

slams how will i know by whitney houston onto the table. my mother raised me on 60s-70s music though so like i could give so many songs for this…

carnelian: at what point did your life change without you realising?

weirdly enough obviously i didn’t realise the impact that my family moving to the uk would have on me as a kid. man i was so unaware how much of a different path my life would take from something as “simple” in kid kai’s eyes as moving country.

sangria: to what extent do you enjoy sour candy?

i fucking love sour candy so much… if that shit isn’t making me pull faces and suffer i don’t want it !!!

cardinal: what is the first song that made you cry?

there’s gonna be a lot that i don’t remember. but the one that will always stick with me is abide with me. it’s a christian hymn but i first heard it at my grandad’s funeral when i was 13 and i proceeded to hear it twice more at my two best friends’ funerals at 15 and 21. they play it at the remembrance parades here and i physically can’t attend anymore because i bawl my eyes out whenever i hear it.

rosewood: have you ever had a penpal? would you like one now?

i have had penpals!! i’m no longer in contact with them but those were good years writing back to practise my english lmao. i’d probably consider it now but maybe not because i’m too forgetful to reply…

strawberry: what album would you love to have on vinyl?

i’m answering this with one specific album in mind because i saw the vinyl when i went to cambridge with my step mom and dad recently and i literally pointed it out to them! prelude to ecstasy by the last dinner party! i do own vinyls & a player so chances are i’ll get it soon HAHA

NO CAUZE WHAT DO U MEAN KAYZ MISSING NOW!!! CASIMIR YOU LITTLE SHITZ. GET HER OUT NOW >:(.

[littlegayfrogsworld]

I don't know what else to write before putting the introductions so I'm just gonna say some random stuff but anyway here's the 3rd introduction

Amelia Rosewood (17)  She/Her   Height: 5’5   sexuality: pansexual   voice claim: Millie (Helluva Boss)

Amelia is the circus's magician! She doesn't have a stage name however fans like to call her Amelia the great, she is a pretty popular gal so Kai was a little shocked when she accepted to join the circus. She’s the most chaotic and loud person in the group (especially when it comes to her magic shows) but she can get serious when she has to but for the most part she’s pretty silly and fun. Her favorite food is short cake and she likes the color red. Amelia was raised in the countryside so she has an accent. At first he hated her accent and tried to hide it but Kai told her she sounded good with the accent so she stuck with it. However even being fan favorite she’s probably broken a lot of laws with her magic shows. (she likes to be a little too extreme…)

[racingtoaredlight]

Epiphone

There's a funny quirk about Gibson's history as a company.

Their guitars have a legacy that's almost bulletproof, and a story going back to the days where the Civil War was a living memory. But despite that rich history, they've almost always been bumbling idiots as an actual business.

Successes came either by accident or by the vision of a singular force (specifically speaking about guitarist Les Paul and CEO Ted McCarty). They're the second most guilty party for deforesting a huge amount of Brazi's rosewood.

They've either been a bloated mess of a corporate balance sheet, or a penny pinching miser of a company since the 1960's...coasting off the legacy of a bunch of guys who played their dad's guitars or only listen to Led Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers (not that that's a bad thing).

But in the late 1950's, Ted McCarty was still there...they were enjoying the financial successes of the early electric guitar era...and their fiercest rival was in their death throes. A brand that people now associate with Gibson's budget line has a history that's largely been lost.

***

The guitar wars follow the industry's momentum.

Today's industry has bifurcated into extremely cheaply made, yet incredibly widely available, guitars that are designed for fun and for students...that have become so quality that they can be used professionally without any loss in performance...and the higher-end vintage and boutique industry aimed at more discerning musicians, hobbyists and collectors.

It's bifurcated this way because there really aren't any musical trends to follow like in the past. In the 2000's there were vintage revivals, funky models, you'd likely notice the guitar trends if you watched any of these pockets of music. The emo guys all played Fender Jazzmasters and other odd models from the past that were ignored because they wern't cool. The corporate rock guys all played PRS. Country guys all played Telecasters. It was extremely predictable.

Same in the 90's with the 7-string numetal stuff...or coasting on the lo-fi Nirvana/grunge wave...I could point at the Brian Setzer revolution and correlate Gretsch's catalog pretty closely. This isn't even touching on the shred metal 80's...or the Les Paul dominated 70's.

Point being...in the 1930's, 40's, 50's and early 60's...it was the archtop wars. The kings of the guitar world played John D'Angelico's guitars...this was not a lucrative industry. The serfs played Kays, Harmonys, Sears, etc...this was a more lucrative one. The battle for the princes was faught between Stromberg, Epiphone and Gibson...this is where the money was.

***

Pre-Gibson Arms Race

Gibson archtops were classy, powerful and smooth...which was awesome and everything, but you gotta remember this was the era before amplifiers, where an archtop was designed to cut through a big band acoustically.

Interestingly enough, Gibson archtops from this era...in my opinion...sound better solo than they do in a group. That's only because, in a group, Epiphones and Strombergs were really, really fucking good. Gibsons were great too, don't ge me wrong, but if you were asking me my ideal for this? I wouldn't go Super 400...I'd go with the 19" behemoth Stromgerg Master 400.

It was all about size and projection, two things cloesly tied. The biggest Gibson was the Super 400, which I talked about last week from an electric perspective. That metaphor above about a classy Gibson?

Epiphones and Strombergs were ready for street fights and both had models with more muscle than even the brawny Super 400. These are nasty, rough, honking guitars that bark like a pissed off pit bull. I've had the pleasure of playing a Master 400 and it was preposterously loud.

But as we know, arms races aren't only decided by the arms themselves...and Gibson's massive corporate size gave them the ultimate advantage. Epiphone's been a staple as a budget line since the early 80's at least...when was the last time you ever heard of Stromberg guitars?

***

Quality Quirkiness

Epiphones of this era were always quirky...and that's not really a compliment either. Almost every electric model I've played from this era, I've gone "man, I really wish it didn't have that" because some quirk...either the way you select pickups, or the pickups themselves (typically very low output and noisy), or the knobs, or hardware...it's just annoying shit that gets in the way.

Because look past all that weird looking stuff. Look at that spruce top. That is a spruce top that guitar nerds like me spend hours drooling over, you just rarely see shit that fucking perfect anymore.

Look at that goddamned craftsmanship and attention to detail on those headstocks. Jesus fucking Christ that is so cool, each one so unique, so stylish, so well executed...you simply just don't see this shit anymore because it's so costly and time consuming. But my goodness, it's impressive.

The woods Epiphone used back then are so quality, and the workmanship so refined, it shouldn't be much of a surprise to know that they hold their value quite well, even relative to Gibson's from that era.

Gibson wasn't exactly throwing plain Janes out there, but they were uniform, consistent and they didn't have nearly the volume of styles and shapes that Epiphone threw out there. And that's probably a huge reason why Gibson didn't go broke making these things.

***

Early Years with GIbson

Above is a video showing off Robben Ford's 1965 Epiphone Riviera.

Unfortunately these guitars...and their fully hollow, P-90 pickup equipped cousins, the Casino...share a close relationship with John Lennon, who's a documented no-playing assclown.

The Riviera is nothing more than a Gibson ES-335 with mini-humbuckers (sound sweeter and less aggressive than full humbuckers because of the smaller magnet) and different makeup. The Casino was nothing more than a Gibson ES-330.

Epiphones were now being made in Gibson's factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan by the same guys, using the same equipment and parts. At this point in the game, the only differences are subtle, cosmetic and the name on the headstock.

Ok, here's the point where I'm going to wrap it up...

I talked about how quirky and and how many different models and how much different shit Epiphone did during this era...and you know what? It's made Googling this shit a real pain in the ass. There's a Triumph, a Triumph Deluxe, a Triumph De Luxe, a Trumph Masterbilt, a Triumph Masterbuilt...and like 3 of the 5 aren't stupid misspellings, they're their own model.

And then you're flooded with the bullshit...

"Vintage epiphone archtop 1950's" shouldn't have a 2015 Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul as one of the first fucking image results. I mean, what the fuck? I expect more out of Google, I really do.

Look at all these pics so far. Old, aged, yellowed, fuddy duddy...and you're telling me THIS falls within those search parameters? This is what you're telling me Google? I didn't even say "guitar" in my search, I specified archtop...but I did say "vintage" and "1950's" and what about this fucking thing qualifies? God fucking damnit I should've asked Jeeves.

***

Conclusion

You know, I gotta be honest, I just didn't get into 1917. Like it was visually impressive and everything, but here's the thing...30 tracking shots don't make up for the fact that the only thing, literally the only fucking thing, you have to root for is a completely empty vessel.

No it's not, fuck that. Why should I be invested in this charisma-less, personality-less, walking definition of replacement player when...oh look, there's 30 other fucking other anonymous, character-less British dudes right behind him that could do the exact same thing. It's like if they made the Mortal Kombat movie and made the main star this guy...

Anyways, Epiphones these days...shit, for my lifetime...have been average to above average budget guitars that you can beat the hell out of until you can afford a Gibson. They're really good today tho...like good enough to get you to ask yourself "why am I paying this much for a Gibson?"

My two years of college prep and my first three years of college were on an Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor.

The abuse this thing took was tremendous. Before I retired it, the bridge was destroyed, it was on its third nut, there were three different brands of tuners on it, the bridge pickup was just a hole, there were dents and cracks all over it, and the neck was completely bowed from me having 15 gauge strings on it.

And it was totally fine.

Modern Epiphone...you can say the same thing...it's fine. Totally fine. Just kinda sucks though that the guitars from their heyday are forgotten memory because the name's now so synonymous with a budget line.

Pool day.

Once upon a scorching summer day at Rosewood High, Ezra Fitz found herself yearning for a respite from the summer heat. She decided that the local pool was the perfect destination to cool down and enjoy some much-needed relaxation. Little did she know, this trip would unfold into a rollercoaster of attention, jealousy, and unexpected encounters.

As Ezra gracefully walked through the entrance of the pool, her beach attire adorned perfectly, she couldn't help but captivate the gaze of everyone around her. The moment she dipped her delicate toes into the crystal-clear water, whispers filled the air. The guys, both young and old, were immediately taken aback by Ezra's radiant beauty, her long flowing hair shining under the sun's warm embrace.

With every step Ezra took, she garnered more attention. The lifeguards, typically focused on ensuring safety, found their gazes wandering towards her. Even Caleb, the resident tech genius, was unable to resist sneaking glances from across the pool. The boys splashing around in the water couldn't concentrate on their dives, their eyes fixed on Ezra instead.

As Ezra stretched out on a sun lounger, she noticed the waves of jealousy washing over the girls within the vicinity. Spencer and Aria, her closest friends, couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy. They were used to being the center of attention, but today, Ezra had stolen the spotlight effortlessly. Aria adjusted her sundress, her fingers curling into fists, frustration evident in her eyes. She was determined to reclaim her throne.

As word of Ezra's allure traveled through the pool like wildfire, the poolside dynamic shifted. While some boys gathered the courage to initiate a conversation, others challenged their friends to win the favor of the irreproachable Ezra. Demonstrating their skill at performing acrobatic jumps, the boys dived into the pool, hoping to catch her gaze, longing for her acknowledgment.

But Ezra remained oblivious to the commotion surrounding her. She was enjoying her day, appreciating the sun's embrace and the tiny droplets teasing her glowing skin. Moments later, a shadow loomed over her, blocking the sun's rays. Ezra looked up, her eyes meeting Ezra's vibrant green ones, stunning her with his charisma.

"Can I sit here?" Kai asked, his cologne mingling with the scent of chlorine.

"Sure," she replied, a smile brightening her face.

As the day unfolded, Ezra's infectious personality drew the attention of both boys and girls alike. Her grace and modesty endeared her to everyone, making it impossible to harbor any animosity towards her. And while some guys declared their feelings, hoping to win her heart, Ezra remained polite and friendly, gently rejecting the advances that came her way.

The poolside affair slowly transformed into an atmosphere of admiration rather than rivalry. Ezra, oblivious to the chaos she had unknowingly stirred, continued to bond with everyone she came across. The girls who were once consumed by jealousy couldn't help but respect and adore Ezra for her unaffected nature. Soon, what initially seemed like a chaotic day turned into a celebration of beauty and friendship.

As the sun began its descent, casting hues of crimson and gold across the pool, Ezra emerged as the true victor of the day - not because of the attention she had garnered, but because she had fostered a sense of unity among her peers. Envy dissipated in the face of camaraderie, and Ezra's seemingly magical aura brought everyone together.

When the day came to an end, Ezra left the pool with a grateful heart, satisfied with the memories forged. Little did she know, her poolside escapade would become a legendary tale, passed down through generations, reminding others of the power of kindness and the beauty that resides within every individual.
