#keeks watches streams

[calumhoodgoss]

horror story of a teenage 5sos blogger

let me set the scene - its the mid 2010s, I'm 17, in the height of my 5sos fan career, im watching keek compilations all day and scrolling tumblr all night. Life is good.

Fast forward a few months and I start talking to this cute boy at school. we start going on dates, having first kisses - and first everything elses. we're falling madly in love. it's intense (and so cringy to look back at as an adult) but again, life is good! not a worry in the world!!

eventually.. it somehow comes up that my boyfriend and i both have tumblrs (of VERY different nature's mind you). we wanted to show eachother things we'd found online but we were both adamant we didn't want to see eachothers blogs (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS). instead of following each other, we would send each other screenshots of funny textposts, pictures, etc. - blacking out our respective blog names and url's to protect our online anonymity. life is good!

now by day, I'm spending all hours messaging my totally hot boyfriend but by night... by night, I'm reblogging hot gifs of calum hood, smut fanfics, imagines, general gifs of hot couples making out (ifykyk). it's the HEIGHT of tumblr fanfiction and imagine culture and I could not get enough. i was exploring things in real life with my boyfriend while also exploring online through fics. reblogging every single thing along the way. i was having my cake and eating it too and it was a fucking good time to be alive. life is so good!

of course, like any normal person, I was using my tags as a stream of consciousness. a way to get out my feelings about cal, about my boyfriend, about being a teenager, about LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Unfiltered, hormonal, teenage girl writing about the boys she likes. every. damn. night. life! is! good!

until.. all until.. my boyfriend and i were lying together in a park, under a tree, light filtering down on us as we talk and laugh and kiss - a perfect afternoon UNTIL he says there's something he has to tell me. 'what does *name of my blog* mean?'

TURNS OUT, the very first time I sent him a screenshot of something, I didn't black out my url properly and he had been SECRETLY STALKING MY BLOG FOR MONTHHHSSSS.

MONTHS

MONTHS!!!!!!

Literally just months worth of calum hood smut, so.much.smut, smut requests too!!!, soft porn gifs WITH TAGS LITERALLY EXPLICITLY ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND, countless text posts about our dates and whatever the fuck I was thinking or feeling that day, 5sos drama, EVERYTHING. EVERYTHINGGGGG. ABSOLUTELY EV ER Y THIN G

needless to say that blog was immediately scorched from the surface of the earth. and since then, I virtually haven't been on 5sos tumblr - until now. I was so mortified that I wasn't just throwing my thoughts into the void, I was literally scarred.

we're still together though lol I guess he some how liked me enough to look past the 5sos blog HAHA. he's a much stronger person than I because if the roles were reversed and he had some obsessed teenage fan blog, I think i would have gotten the ick straight away. Especially since I literally NEVER talked about 5sos with him because I was soooo embarrassed that I was obsessed with them (this was album one era guys HAHA and my boyfriend was way cooler than me in highschool). now I don't care, I play them in the shower all the time - he can deal with it hahaha

moral of the story is, idk don't tell your teenage boyfriend you have tumblr cause he will find your blog

[ghost-of-you]

Why do people feel the need to produce break up rumors out of thin air after every tour/album 🫥 the expectations of some people in this fandom are wild to me.

What do people think they should do? Even if it weren't for Michael's baby, they released an album last year and played two tours, of course they'll need some time to recharge now. Why would you expect new music or ANOTHER tour now already?

And they have not said or done anything that would indicate that they are thinking about breaking up and still people choose to be paranoid instead of putting some trust in them and just let them rest.

Idk maybe I'm the opposite of those people who are still traumatised by 1D or whatever but my other favourite band just had a 5 year gap between albums, they didn't play any live shows for like 4 of those years (partly bc of the pandemic od course) and the front man did a solo album + tour in the meantime. One other band member did some stuff as a producer and from like 2 of them I think I saw a total of 4 social media posts during that time lmao. I didn't see a single person worried that they would break up. That never came up as a possibility anywhere. And then I go to 5sos fandom spaces and people are freaking out when the band goes on a break because one of them will have to care for a damn newborn like please 💀

Sorry for ranting, I'm sure you have a lot of this stuff in your inbox now. No need to respond, I just needed to express to someone how truly baffled I am by this behaviour.

Honestly, I blame one direction for a large part of it. Obviously not the boys in 1D but the whole culture and the intensity around them. I like them but I was never in really invested in them so I did watch everything that happened from the outside and I keep seeing the effects of it. A lot of people did not handle their break up and since 5sos has this connection to them that ended bringing fans over to 5sos people get triggered. But it's bullshit because 5sos is a band that wanted to be the band they are. To act as if 5sos is doomed to follow 1Ds footsteps is stupid because 1D was a bunch of kids who didn't want to be in a band, who got put in a band package and explored until they broke. And all of them are doing the thing they wanted all along, which is be solo acts, so the comparison is not fair. You can't compare 5sos to the boyband curse, because they are no are not a boyband. And this is the dumbest argument ever but it is true, 5sos has a lot more freedom with each other to do other things while still keeping the 5sos project alive. Everything they do that's not exactly like the 17 yo posting keeks and doing twitcam from a mansion creating a constant stream of content creates a wave of mass histeria and honestly, I am so tired of it. Even if 5sos were about to take a decade long break, which I don't think they will, they like making music with each other too much to just stop, they can. They gave us over a third of their lives already. They are allowed different dreams.

Also I think there's this layer of desensitization surrounding famous people in general, that makes people not see them as real people with real feelings or see them as this character they get mad won't follow the script they made in their heads. And the whole way some parts of the music industry just want a really fast rotation that's not really possible and things like K-pop that end up having a higher rotation that creates a bigger stream of content that's not really sustainable in a healthy way for very long but creates a weird expectation anyway. And people think they're allowed to demand shit just because (and this goes from the temper tantrum for the lack of tour to the obnoxious hbg chanting)

5sos already did the killing themselves for the band. Now they live and have a band. I rather to see things this way. They are happy, they are thriving in other aspects of life. If that means waiting another 2, 3, 5, 10 years for new music, so be it. To use 5sos own metaphor, they're driving the bus, we're just along for the ride so whatever stops and turns they want is what goes. They can do whatever they want because is their life and it's their band. And I'm not worried they're gonna break up. Not even a little bit. If not seeing them for a year while Michael settles into being a father is what it takes for them to be happy and healthy, then so be it, let them exist outside the band.

Vaxleth + Sleepy Prompt #16

Let’s face it: they’re both afraid to sleep because of nightmares. Vax especially.

Just a warning for this drabble: it contains a dream sequence in which Keyleth has a lot of self-doubt and guilty feelings. 16. “Are you afraid to fall asleep because you think you’re gonna have a nightmare?”

Keyleth tossed and turned in bed, kicking back the covers when she felt too warm, then pulling them up when the cold bit her skin. After what seemed like hours, she finally felt herself drift off, only to be awakened by a sudden jerk of her body.

She sat up with her back against the headboard and her heart racing in her chest after feeling like she was about to fall from a great height. She felt a body stir next to her, and a warm, calloused hand rested on her thigh. 

“Are you okay?” Vax’s sleepy voice asked in a whisper. Keyleth nodded, willing her tears down with a knot in her throat. “Are you sure?” Vax didn’t buy her lie. Of course, he wouldn’t.

“I can’t sleep. I’m… I’m scared, Vax,” she let herself cry, pulling her knees to her chest. Vax sat up next to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. 

“Are you afraid to fall asleep because you think you’re gonna have a nightmare?”

Keyleth nodded again. She had been having a recurring nightmare the past week, and Vax had been woken to her screaming or crying several times. 

“I can’t do it, Vax. I can’t go to sleep and dream about it again.” She sobbed into his shoulder.

—

Standing under the cherry tree that centered Zephrah was a family of half-elves. The mom had long curly red hair and was well-equipped with all sorts of traveling gear, and the father, a tall man with long hair, held a little girl on his hip, whose hair was so red it seemed like she had been kissed by flames.  

Keyleth held on to her father, tears streaming down her face. She didn’t understand why her mom was leaving, she was scared and sad, but most of all, she felt it was her fault. Maybe if Keyleth behaved better, if she had eaten all her veggies and paid attention in class, her mom wouldn’t be leaving her.

The scene changed, and a teenage Keyleth sat under the cherry tree, crying by herself. It had been a decade since she last heard about her mother, and while she understood why Vilya had left, she couldn’t understand why she hadn’t returned yet. Maybe her mom didn’t love her enough, or maybe Keyleth wasn’t good enough a reason for her mother to return.

Another change. This time, Keyleth saw herself and her father under the cherry tree, wearing her mother’s old leather armor and staff. Korrin reminded her of her obligations, what she was setting out to do – her Aramenté – and how much was at stake. As Keyleth crossed the portal her father opened on the trunk, she felt like she was thrown out into the wild and wasn’t ready for it – even though she had years of training.

The dream changed again, and Keyelth saw herself surrounded by fire and screams. Her friends were laying on the ground next to her, and she saw their faces, one by one, and the pain they were in as they were engulfed by flames. She led them to this hell. It was her fault.

One last change, faster and more sudden, hitting her like a punch in the gut, and Keyleth saw Vax in the tentacles of the Kraken, the air leaving his lungs as he drowned, while Keyleth did nothing but watch in fear. She did this. She killed him, the one she loved the most. Just like her mother, she led her friends to their death, and she was next. She failed again and again and again.

—

“Keyleth, it’s just a dream. I’m right here.” Vax rested her hand on his beating heart.

“You died.” She sobbed again. “And it was my fault.”

“No, Kiki. I live because of you. I wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t saved me. I’m real. This is real, not your dream. You did not fail anyone, and you did not disappoint anyone. You are more than enough! Fuck! If someone isn’t enough, it’s me! I don’t deserve you, Keeks.”

Keyleth let out a wet chuckle of disbelief. “You keep saying that.”

“Because it’s true,” Vax pulled her away from him and kissed the tears in the corner of one eye. “You are strong,” he followed the path of her tears down to her cheek. “You are amazing,” he kissed the corner of the other eye. “You are fierce,” he pressed soft, tender kisses down her other cheek. “And most of all, you are more than enough.” He finished with a long, deep kiss on her lips. 

Keyleth felt warmth rush through her body as if Vax had just cast a healing spell, and she leaned into him. She knew her doubts emerged from exhaustion, from not having rested all week, and she knew she would feel like an idiot the tomorrow for even thinking that way.

“Ready to try to get some sleep?” Vax asked, laying down and bringing her with him. Keyleth nodded and nuzzled against his neck, feeling his soft and warm breath atop her head. 

“Thank you, Vax,” she sighed. “I love you.”

“I will always love you, Kiki.”

Come Hell or Helwater - Part Sixteen

Claire comes back to the past with Brianna and arrives at Helwater looking for Jamie—but must confront the Dunsanys first.

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight, Part Nine, Part Ten, Part Eleven, Part Twelve, Part Thirteen, Part Fourteen, Part Fifteen

This installment is kind of inspired by and therefore dedicated to all the parents out there who have been put into the position of homeschooling their children due to current circumstances. ~ Mod Lenny

********************************************************

With Lady Isobel gone to stay with her sister, Brianna’s education fell back to Claire and Jamie. 

At first, Claire worked with Brianna during the day while Jamie was busy with the horses. She reviewed mathematics and gave Brianna some problems to solve before changing their attention to science. Even if Brianna hadn’t requested it, Claire would have insisted upon teaching her daughter as much 20th century science as she could. 

When Jamie returned for lunch and dinner, Brianna would tell him about what she had learned and then in the evenings, he would work with her on languages, reading and classical history. 

Brianna and Claire played a game when Jamie wasn’t around where she would toss out a historical event and Brianna had to guess whether or not it had happened yet. Once, Brianna asked about changing history and whether it was possible. Claire offered an abridged account of her own attempts at changing things with Jamie’s help.

“Perhaps it was only that we tried to change an event that was too large,” Claire admitted with a shrug. “There were too many forces pushing it to happen and we couldn’t stop enough of them. Perhaps, if we’d tried with something smaller and more insignificant, we would have succeeded and eventually its consequences would have snowballed into larger changes decades from now. Or perhaps it isn’t possible at all.”

“Maybe the things you could change of the ones that don’t make it into history books at all,” Brianna guessed. “Then you wouldn’t know if you were changing anything or not.”

“Maybe,” Claire agreed with a smile. 

But while Jamie would probably have happily skipped learning the history-yet-to-come that fueled their game, his curiosity got the better of him when it came to Brianna recounting what Claire was teaching her of science. 

“And why are ye growin’ mold on bread?” Jamie asked, turning from Brianna to Claire. But Brianna answered. 

“There’s a special kind that squirts out stuff that keeps you from getting sick,” she explained, causing Claire to laugh and Jamie to quirk an eyebrow.

“Lord John has agreed to help me acquire a microscope,” Claire told him. “And if it works well enough, I should be able to find — or at least try to find — the strain that secretes what will one day be called penicillin. It’s an antibiotic that can help prevent and cure infection.”

“The wee bit of mold will do all that?” he asked in wonderment. 

Claire smiled, carrying a plate with freshly cut (and mold free) bread to put on the table before him. She stayed standing behind him, resting her hands on his shoulders and leaning in close to add, “And it’s a Scot who’ll discover it. In about a hundred and fifty years’ time.” She kissed his cheek and gave him a pat on the back before moving to take her own seat and dig into the meal.

“And you plan to find it and… use it?”

“Of course. I’ll need to fashion some kind of hypodermic needle eventually, but an oral administration is better than nothing. The acid in the stomach breaks it down a bit so its effects aren’t as fast or strong,” she rambled. 

Jamie sat nodding, watching her as he chewed. 

“When did you say Lord John would send you the microscope?” Brianna asked around a full mouth. 

Claire frowned at her and swallowed her own mouthful before replying, “Within the month. I’m hoping it will be closer to a fortnight but either way, it doesn’t hurt to start a few cultures so I have something to try right away. As soon as it arrives, we’ll go around collecting samples we can use to calibrate the microscope. Trough water, goat’s milk… we’ll see if we can find some algae on the rocks in the stream and maybe some plant spores or flower pollen…”

“I can bring ye some of the muck from the stalls if that would be of interest to ye,” Jamie offered. 

Claire beamed while Brianna grimaced at the thought. Jamie laughed, joined by Claire when she saw Brianna’s disgusted expression (only some of which was about Jamie’s offer and the rest by her mother’s obvious intention to take him up on it). 

“I cannae wait to see what ye find wi’ the microscope,” he said with excitement. 

********************************************************

The microscope arrived from Lord John about three weeks later, when Brianna’s frustration at its delay had begun to negatively affect her attitude (and Jamie and Claire’s by extension). 

It arrived while Jamie was busy at the stables. When he returned to their small cottage for his midday meal, he instead found Claire bent over the table setting it up and Brianna hovering like a butterfly, too excited to land anywhere for long. 

“Shall I fetch something from Cook in the kitchen then?” he asked, announcing his entrance. 

“Would you?” Claire asked gratefully, adjusting a mirror and inching a candle (burned to a low nub) closer. “I’ve got it nearly there… I don’t want to move it to lay anything out yet.”

“Bree,” Jamie jerked his head back toward the door. “Come help me carry it.” 

“You don’t need help carrying anything from the kitchen,” she whined. “I wanna stay and look through the microscope when Mama’s got it ready.”

“She’s like to have it ready by the time we return and we can find something from Cook tha’s worth a keek through the microscope,” he assured her, heading into the room and herding her out of the cottage. 

He glanced to Claire as he reached to close the door behind them. She was watching him leave mouthing, “thank you,” and smiling. It warmed him through, easing the tired tension in his arms and back from his morning’s work. 

Brianna chattered away as they walked to and from the kitchens, fetching some bread, cheese, and cold meat left from Lord and Lady Dunsany’s meal. 

“Insist on the full spread though Lady Isobel’s away,” Cook muttered as she picked over the parcel she packed for them, retrieving stray bones she needed for making stock. 

Brianna carried the basket while Jamie carried some bottles with ale.

“I wonder if Mama will let us look at that under the microscope,” she mused, nodding to the bottles.

“I’d dinna ken as I want to see that just yet. If I’ve just had it to drink and the sight turns my stomach, I may see it in a still less flattering way… or if it would turn my stomach and I havena drunk it yet, then I’ll just go the day thirsty and I cannae do that wi’ an afternoon yet ahead of me,” he told her.

“Ugh, no. Nothing food or drink then for a while,” Brianna grimaced. 

Jamie chuckled, amazed at just how much the expression matched a common one of Claire’s. It was a constant wonder to watch and listen to Brianna. She was at once the embodiment of Claire, the mirror of himself, and yet something – or rather, someone – entirely her own. 

Claire didn’t look like she’d moved at all since they’d stepped out, but when she raised her head at their entrance her face was alight with triumph. 

“Care to take a look?” she asked Brianna. 

Jamie successfully grabbed the basket from her hands before Brianna could drop it or toss it aside in her haste. 

Claire gave him an apologetic look as she showed Brianna what to do and reminded her not to jar the table or the device. 

“Whoa… what is that?” Brianna gasped. 

“I had a vial on me the last time I went looking for mushrooms in the woods,” Claire explained. “There’s that shallow spot near the stream that’s basically a small stagnant pond. Since I had the vial and there was water in it, I thought I might as well take a sample.”

“Holy cow, they’re moving!”

Instincts startled into action by Brianna’s exclamation, Jamie darted to her side but Claire was grinning. 

“I know! I was worried anything alive in the sample would die before the microscope arrived. You’re looking at a paramecium. They live in the water and feed on bacteria, algae, that sort of thing.”

“I think it’s eating another one,” Brianna said with horror and panic in her voice. She looked to Jamie while Claire swept in to peek.

“It’s not eating the other one. It’s dividing. That’s how they reproduce,” she explained. 

Brianna looked again. “Da… you have to see this.” 

She backed away, offering him her spot. He looked to Claire with uncertainty, but she nodded and walked him through how he should adjust the scope to focus as he needed. She knew he found the right setting when she heard his quiet gasp. 

“And that wee thing lives in the water?” he asked carefully. 

“Not all water. But some microorganisms like this can make people ill. That’s why I always boil water for drinking and sterilize my medical instruments in boiling water. It kills the kinds of microbes that cause infection.” 

“So it’s one of yer germs, then… this paramecium…” 

“Not exactly. But it does eat some kinds of germs. I’m afraid this microscope isn’t strong enough to see the bacteria it feeds on. But it should do just fine for examining the molds to find the right one for penicillin,” she declared. 

“I’ll never again dip my hand to drink from a loch wi’out seein’ that wee thing in my mind’s eye,” Jamie said, sounding haunted and perhaps a bit queasy. 

“What’d you two fetch for lunch?” Claire asked, hungry now that success was achieved.

There’s almost nothing I hate more than seeing old fetus 5sos content. When I was a kid and had a crush on them during that era it was fine but I feel so uncomfortable watching their old live-streams and keeks and stuff now.

[mrs-all-amukeian]

I can't tell if you just ship muke and have your own theories or just a general 5sos fan?

I have mentioned this before but I will go on in detail about what I believe.  I love the friendship Michael and Luke have, especially since they went from two boys who wanted to kill each other to two men who have nothing but love for each other. Now I know some people will say that only sossies still ship muke (rather its their friendship or an actual relationship) but I do have my own little theories about them. Watching their old content, I come to believe that maybe, just maybe, at some point these two actually had something going on. First, Michael did mention in a keek that he was bisexual (he said it quietly to Calum but everybody heard it clearly) which some fans just sweep under the rug. Michael also tried to kiss Luke publicly at the summertime ball (green hair era), where Luke pulled away and looked around to make sure nobody was looking. Michael also had a phase where he was attached to the hip to Luke (during both his red hair eras) and also mentioned on a streaming cam that he has a boyfriend (you can find it on my blog and masterpost). All of Michael’s leaked videos for some reason only consist of Luke (like the Bali cuddling where Luke was laying on top of him, he clearly did not want that public) and their cute NYE cuddle where they both look completely wasted. Now, I know it could be just a friendship thing going on but I have never seen 2 friends act the way they do no matter how close they are. Something obviously went down and they seemed a bit distant for a bit (this is where arzaylea suddenly popped up). Before anyone assumes that I just don’t like their current partners because “I WaNt tHem foR mYseLf” (I want nothing more than to support these guys and whatever, or whoever, makes them happy) but their choice of partners is terrible and seem too controlling. While I do believe that Michael and Luke are not a thing now, I’m not fully convinced that they are happy with their current relationships. 

Forgot to add that no matter what anyone says or thinks, Wrapped Around Your Finger is the one and only Muke song k thx

[meyhew]

remember when Niall came onto Harry’s live stream of one of his tour nights? Do you think he was like ah this is pretty cool, must do this for the fans!

oh yea definitely! back in the dark ages we watched concerts through keeks and vines, and live streaming entire shows is a relatively new thing tbh and not many fandoms do it. i’m like 95% sure he popped in for that stream, saw how many people actually suffer through them and how shit the quality is, and decided to do a proper one for everyone at home. 

he didn’t charge a penny, which is so nice of him, but i keep saying it: if artists stream their concerts for a teeny tiny cost, they could make so much money. o many people can’t afford to buy concert tickets but can probably pay a small fee for a quality experience from home. nialls onto something here, i hope the other boys do something like it as well

I Miss 5 Seconds of Summer???

A few days after 5 Seconds of Summer held their concert in the Philippines last 2016, I wrote a blog post with this exact same title then went on to elaborate that I missed the version of them that I fell in love with. I’ve unarchived it so anyone who bothers to read this has a salient starting point, but be warned: I seriously can’t make it through the entire thing without suffering from a chronic cringe attack—who ever told 16-year-old me that she could write?!

—

I have listened to 5SOS’ entire discography almost exclusively today. But my Spotify followers wouldn’t know. In an expert attempt to evade their judgment, I go on Private Mode so I can cry to their music in peace. I’ve also been watching a couple of their videos too. My favorite is this live performance of Ghost of You where Calum Hood does some immaculate vocal blending at the 1:26 mark. I have my watch history paused though so I don’t get bombarded with more recommendations and end up spiraling further down the hole.

It’s funny how I think that removing every trace of related activity on my corner of the Internet could also erase it from my own memory, render it as a mere figment of my imagination instead of a clear manifestation that I’m starting to like them again. And it might seem even funnier that I am convinced that people care! But then again, I did unstan them pretty publicly a few years back following a misogynistic interview they did for an issue of Rolling Stone, which also featured all four of them almost fully nude on the cover.

To this day, I continue to dissect the piece with one part of me thinking that I might have overreacted, having seen and read it for the first time when I was 14 and much more of a prude, and the other knowing that I did not. In one paragraph, Luke Hemmings admits that during the early years of the band, they took advantage of the amount of female attention they were at the center of. “They were wildest on their early tours, when they’d go to bars to mingle with fans after shows,” it read.

In another, Hood talks quite nonchalantly about his infamous dick pic that made its rounds on the Internet the year before, and how it surprisingly gave the band a lot of publicity. “Now I’m just working on the sex tape,” he jokes. “I’ll call Pamela up, like, ‘Hey, it’s been a while. We really need to hype this band up!’”

Having risen to fame as the opening act of the clean-cut British-Irish group One Direction, 5SOS was immediately touted as a boyband—next in line to 1D’s throne, or competing with them for the crown, depends on which magazine you read. Though this exposure granted them a huge teenage fanbase (myself included), they hated the label that came with it. They constantly asserted that they played their own instruments and wrote their own songs, and behaved in a way that well-curated, expertly marketed groups would not: carefree, loud, playfully and forgivably naughty. No one would believe them though. People would say it’s the curse of being conventionally attractive in the music industry. You were almost always expected to be a popstar, a commodity that catered to the masses. But they tried anyway: maybe a lip ring and a couple of tattoos would do the trick, sprinkle some curse words here and there in interviews, get caught smoking or drinking.

That interview was their final act: their big-time effort to break away and hopefully land a spot amongst the rock bands they looked up to and wanted so desperately to impress. Even if it meant objectifying, mocking, and taking advantage of the girls who propelled them to stardom in the first place. Simply put, that interview was them desperately trying to get rid of fans like me. And so, I obliged.

—

Now that I’ve been staying at home for almost three months straight, I have revisited a lot of old favorites: poorly written fan fiction I used to eat up in my early teenage years, full seasons of Nickelodeon TV shows (only the good ones) downloaded off sketchy places on the Internet, my childhood journals filled with my loopy handwriting and family of stick figures. I know I’m not alone in this pursuit: it seems like we’re all holding on to remnants of our past to remind us that we have experienced better days, and they will surely come again soon.

I felt like it was inevitable I’d return to 5SOS because they had released their fourth full-length album during the first few weeks of the quarantine. Everywhere on social media, I was reminded that one single was out, and then another, and then another and I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. After all, I did give Youngblood, their third record, a spin when it first came out as well. I thought their attempts at experimentation bordered on pretentiousness, and figured that if this was the musical direction they wanted to take, I’d surely hate every succeeding record as well.

But the problem was I really liked it. Although it wasn’t a no-skip album, each track was different from the rest, all showing a level of inventiveness and mastery of musical technique not present in previous releases. After playing the entire thing again and again, even the songs I didn’t vibe with at first started to grow on me. Turns out the beauty of Easier and Teeth is in the details: the thrumming bass at the beginning, the unconventional vocal inflections, best appreciated in an enclosed area with the volume on high. My amazement at how their musical style had progressed over the years led to me listening to all of their albums in chronological order, then rewatching some of their funniest interviews which were alarmingly easy to retrieve from memory.

During these times, I’ve wondered why I still remain curious about what they’re doing, why I still give their music a shot when I see it on my Release Radar. They never apologized for the article and I assume that they talk about things of that sort even more now that they’re older.

And I guess the answer is simple. Besides the fact that the music is honest to God amazing, they kind of made me who I am. Having found them during the height of my teen angst phase, I reveled in having idols who were open about rebelling against the system and forging our own paths despite being looked down on by those older than us. It was through them that I was introduced to bands that further diversified my taste in music, that I started experimenting with a more introspective type of writing that led to the style I employ to this day. I made so many good friends because of them, some of which are still in my life today. Looking back, I wouldn’t consider it the best version of myself but she was different. More importantly, she was really happy.

—

I am well-versed in the discourse surrounding problematic faves, and I know that if I ever find myself in such a situation, I have two options: either go down the productive, politically correct road and steer clear from them, or continue to consume their work but with the knowledge that what they did was inexcusable. I teeter between boycotting their music altogether—because even Spotify streams can be translated into revenue and there’s nothing that powers oppressors like financial stability and fame—and choosing to separate the art from the artist so I can appreciate good work without the reputation of its creator clouding my judgment.

I guess at this point, I probably am looking at them with rose-tinted glasses. I heard that some victims of even the most abusive and toxic relationships look back at their time with their former significant others with fondness. Though what I had with Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Michael was nowhere near romantic, and their transgressions far from a personal attack, maybe it applies to my situation too. I look at 5SOS now through the lens of the 14-year-old who embedded watching Keeks into her daily routine, or fell asleep listening to Heartbreak Girl on repeat and rejoiced when it hit 1,000 plays on her iTunes. They are no longer that band, and I am no longer that girl. And while it doesn’t hurt to remember the times when we were those people, I must remind myself that things can never go back to the way they were.

Maybe this doesn’t have to be as dramatic as I’m making it. But that’s the good thing about keeping this blog despite getting published on other corners of the Internet—I can make it as dramatic as I want to be.

Music on the wind 1 -- Drabble

OK. SO. After what I wrote last night, I decided I wanna write more with Ipo and Idk I guess I put the spotlight on Link because he’s the ultimate wingman lbr. 

Anyway enjoy this. No idea when I’ll have the next part done ‘D

Link gave one last sweeping glance to Sidon, who was enthusiastically waving him farewell as he descended down the stairway to the Great Zora Bridge. He smiled in return and eagerly waved back to the Zora prince before continuing on his way. It was nice to see the Zora people out now in the few weeks since Ruta had been calmed. Several of the guards were smiling and nodding at him as he passed and the children giggled and scampered around him.

He passed by Ledo, who was diligently repairing the luminous column on the bridge. Dunma and her father, Rivan, were standing watch at the main entry and both Zora nodded to Link in acknowledgement. It was a nice, cool morning and the sun was still climbing over the mountains directly behind Link, to the north. A gentle wind followed Link as he paced himself along the path of the Great Bridge.

Link tilted his head to one side when he spotted the captain of the Zora guard, Bazz, standing about halfway down the walkway. He looked distracted and was staring at something to the right of the bridge. Link jogged the remaining distance between he and Bazz and placed his hands on his hips. Bazz didn’t look too surprised by Link’s arrival and sent a pensive stare with his golden eyes.

“Ah. Master Link,” Bazz greeted, though his voice sounded very distant and lost in thought. “It’s good you came to visit us again. Everything is as it should be since Ruta was dealt with,” he explained, the grip on his silverscale spear loosening. However, Bazz slowly lifted his gaze back to whatever he was looking at before and frowned.

Link made a confused hum and followed Bazz’s stare for a second. He then approached the Zora, canted his head to one side and quickly signed a ‘...But?’ to him.

Bazz blinked, caught off guard by Link’s actions, and he cleared his throat. “Ah, no. No, no. Nothing is wrong, Master Link. In fact, we’re holding the Festival of the Wind Fish soon!”

‘Festival?’ Link replied, casually gesturing with his hands. ‘Wind Fish?’

“I suppose you don’t remember, huh?” Bazz tapped the blunt end of his spear against the ground. “It’s an annual celebration for we Zora. We have a big feast, put on a play dedicated to our guardian deity of ages past--the Wind Fish--and celebrate with music. I believe this one will be one of the biggest festivals we’ve had in years!”

‘Is that a problem, then?’ Link signed and nodded down to Bazz’s fidgeting hands.

“No...I--ahh…” Bazz sighed and pinched at the bridge between his eyes. “Please, pay no mind to it. It’s a miniscule thing compared to the trouble we had with Ruta and I can’t bother you with this.”

Link shook his head. ‘I don’t mind helping. What’s wrong?’

Bazz only groaned. “It’s just that Prince Sidon has personally assigned me to making sure this is our best festival possible. He has faith that you’ll defeat Calamity Ganon, Master Link. As do I. So, he wants to inspire everyone and keep up hope. Things are going well; preparations are in order. It’s just…” his voice trailed off as he glanced up again. “A few days ago, I was patrolling near the Veiled Falls and I heard this wonderful music. It sounds crazy, but it was coming from behind the waterfall!”

‘You’re concerned about music?’ Link asked, signing in response at a slower pace.

“Not at all!” Bazz replied and held up one hand. “I want to ask whoever was playing the music to be a part of the festival.”

‘But, you aren’t sure who it is?’ Link guessed, quickly piecing the problem together.

Bazz shook his head and frowned again. “I’ve tried asking around, but no one seems to know who it could be either.” He rested his finger against the curve of his chin and studied Veiled Falls, lingering overhead on the cliffside. “I’m afraid with all of my duties at the moment, patrolling as well as making all the arrangements for the festival, I’m at a loss.”

Link nodded in understanding. ‘You don’t have time to investigate the waterfall.’

“Exactly. I couldn’t ask you to look into this though, Link,” Bazz began, the frown leaving his face. “You’ve already helped us out so much.”

Link shrugged and flashed a warm grin at the captain. ‘I said I don’t mind.’

The black Zora smiled in return and bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Link! It would mean a lot.”

He gaze Bazz a thumbs up before he whipped out his Sheikah slate. He studied the map for a moment and decided to teleport to the Dagah Keek shrine, since it was practically the Veiled Fall’s neighbor. Link heard a surprised gasp from Bazz before he vanished into a stream of light.

Instantaneously, he arrived at the entrance of the Shrine. Link turned on his heels and faced the cascading waterfall and swiftly approached the small pool of water the bottom of the falls. He stepped into the water, wadded against the gentle currents as it came past his knees, and propelled himself forward. The drop off of the water pounded into his back, but Link shrugged it off with a grunt and swam through to the other side. He collided with a long, Zora-built wall instead of usual rock--and from the looks of it, the wall went all the way to the top of the waterfall.

He studied the wall and ran his fingers along the metal as he followed from one side to other, tapping and knocking. He paused when a portion of the wall sounded much more hollow compared to the other wall. Link snapped his fingers and pulled out the slate again. He activated his magnesis rune. Just as he thought, the hallowed wall glowed in the presence of the Sheikah slate and Link used the energy beam to nudge the metal sheet to the side.

Link crept closer and peered through the opening. Inside was a dark tunnel, leading to somewhere unknown. He perked up when he heard an echo of music; it was some sort of stringed instrument.

Eyes narrowing, to adjust to the darkness, Link crept forward and followed the music.

Part Two here!
