Every single member of the Batfamily lies about their taste in music

Damian will claim that he only listens to classical music and that everything else is beneath him.

Damian will unironically listen to trashy Arab pop and the absolute worst Bollywood songs known to man (Dick introduced him to them and he hates the fact that sometimes he gets Sheila Ki Jawani stuck in his head during missions)

Tim will put on the most ear grating hyper pop you've ever heard and claim with full chest that these is the peak of humanities capabilities with music (Damian, Jason and Steph have all tried to kill him for this take) He will also play stuff like the living tombstones and sing it obnoxiously loud when he's working on the computer.

Tim however loves his 90s grunge and it's all that's playing in his headphones. (think nirvana, pearl Jam, Melvins, Alice in Chains etc) He has tracked down so many shirts and concert posters and watched every bit of content from the older shows.

Jason will claim he only listens to east coast rap, biggie, Nas, Jay etc and maybe some older metal. He will fight you on east vs west coast music, there will be weaponry involved.

Jason likes rap music... he unfortunately prefers west coast rap and has listened to no vaseline like 500 times. He will deny this till the day he dies...again. (Dick knows and threatens to tell Steph)

Steph will steal the aux and play Taylor Swifts greatest hits until one of the Boys threatens mutiny. Every single one of the bats has had style stuck in their heads during a stakeout at least twice. She will claim that the only rap song she can tolerate in Eminem and the 7/11 is Beyoncés best song.

Steph is an underground fan, think the dude selling mixtapes on the subway type shit. She also unlike Jason genuinely loves East Coast Rap music more than anything and knows every single wu-tang clan song by heart, same with Biggie. Not only does she love the music she also spends any free time binging those "history of rap and its consequences" videos and has been a firm believer that P.Diddy had a hand in a lot of the Death row records well...deaths.

Cass, well everyone thinks Cass has really good taste bc its Cass and she has zero flaws (don't @ me) she never takes the aux and will usually listen to her music while she's chilling or doing stretches. None of them have heard or seen a single one of her playlists except Duke.

its all 2010s top 40s pop music and like the trashy kind too, Beauty and the Beat, Kesha, Katy Perry. It's her turning of her brain time and she will be straight vibing to Rude! by magic or Boom Clap or Shower. she has shown this to Duke, smirked and told him that even if he tried to tell anyone they wouldn't believe him.

Duke is the only one who doesn't... lie. He just hides a few things. Lies of omission don't count as lies when the bats will lie to you about what they had for breakfast, while they are visibly eating breakfast. Duke says he listens to everything and he does. Literally everything. His patrol Jam is offensive bc it with start with Norwegian death metal and immediately switches to "like a G6" followed by kendrick Lamar and then descendants Disney channel movie music.

Bruce... Bruce is just weird, everyone asks him and gets a different answer. Bc he doesn't... like music. Like at all. It's all noise, his mother played instruments so he learned like 14 and he hates how they all sound. He just like vague batwings fluttering in dead silence.

Dick Grayson will obnoxiously play top 40 and radio music religiously around the bats. He claims it's the best music for rhythmic acrobatics and trapeze work and that true! Jason hates this kind of music the most, it's formulaic and holds no substance and drives him insane.

But Dick only listens to that music when he's moving, flipping doing high energy stuff. When he just wants to chill? This man has the most depressing music taste you've ever seen. You know that sad song from ur favorite artist that you can't listen to without crying. Yeah that's his bread and butter. Every single song is just flat out tear inducing, some of these bands have like 100 listeners and he is one of them and it's just their saddest song that reads like suicide note. The titans have conducted an intervention bc its just... concerning. He just thinks it's neat!

eddie coming into ur work to keep you company on slow days. especially towards the end of the day when you have to close up. he always walks you home ( or drives , depending if his van is running ) . sometimes you two will go and get slushies or milkshakes , listening to the latest mixtape he’s put together with songs that remind him of you .

he lets you tag along to his d&d campaigns if he’s heading there after picking you up from work , making sure you’re comfortable on the couch with a book in hand . he occasionally looks over at you , making sure you were still comfortable where he had left you two hours before .

when you guys finally leave whoever’s house was hosting d&d that night , you walk together towards the trailer park , hand in hand and just talking about life . he tells you about his childhood and you do the same . you guys talk about music , your dream concerts , and anything in between .

you always love spending time with eddie . it doesn’t need to be constantly speaking to each other either , because majority of the time is you both sitting in comfortable silence ( besides the sound of his guitar ) as you read a book or work on your homework , and him trying to learn the latest metallica riff he just had to perfect .

sometimes his uncle wayne will come in too , just to make sure you guys aren’t getting up to any funny business . but when he sees you on either sides of the room doing your own thing , he smiles and closes the door softly . he’s honestly happy for eddie finding someone who matches him perfectly .

hi! sorry if youve answered this question before, but i was wondering if you had a gitm playlist for y/n specifically? mixtape maybe, because the official (for lack of a better word) playlist seems to be about the story as a whole, and i was wondering if there was a playlist of y/ns songs specifically, like the music they listen to in the story. owner of a lonely heart is such a good song and i found it through this fic, and its been on repeat for a while now haha. loving the fic so far (on chapter 23!!!!!) its amazing, and thanks for ur time! have a nice day :)

The answer is yup!!! All the characters have their own playlist and cricket has two ^^ I keep them all pinned in the discord, but here's the link for cricket's:

Cricket's basement mixtape

The songs they are listening to fixing Ruin.

Cricket's character playlist

Songs that describe their story, character and relationships.

These two playlists continue to be some of my top faves out of the whole lot I've made for this fic ^^

Ok I have a request that’s been brewing in my brain, what if Daryl and reader were out on a run and reader finds a mixtape in the car and plays it, and one of the songs is Creep by Radiohead and she starts singing along and he’s never heard her sing before and he’s like totally enamored by it. But when he starts to listen to the lyrics it maybe hits too close to home and he starts to get insecure and think he’s not good enough for her and he’s kinda standoffish for a bit and when he finally tells her what’s wrong she shows him how much he means to her and how special he is to her AHHHH

Ps ur writing is amazing I love it sm 🫶🫶

Creep

Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Reader (No use of Y/N)

TW: Anxious!Daryl. Alexandria Era. Allusions to sex.

A/N: I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this request, thank you Anon! I'm sorry its taken me a while I have been ill as hell, but I'm hoping to get a few bits uploaded today when my heating kicks in and my fingers start moving again!

-

The dashboard is dusty. The kind of dust that seeps up your nose and makes you smell damp. The car is cramped and the road is bumpy as all hell, but he’s content, almost peaceful as she smiles over at him. He quirks a corner of his mouth upwards in response, knowing he’ll get lost in her smile if he lets himself, and the last thing he wants to do is crash the car when its so full of wares.

It’s not new, not really, their….relationship. It’s the culmination of the electricity that’s been thrumming underneath the surface for a while. So it’s not new, not really, but it is tentative. Everything with Daryl is tentative except killing walkers and hunting; there’s a sick sense of irony that it took the world ending for him to be confident in something. He’s not confident when it comes to her, even now. Even now she’s sitting there holding his hand as he drives back to Alexandria. He could have initiated the hand holding, probably, maybe, she’d like that, but the fear that he’s going to be rejected for trying is always overwhelming.

This run was simple, thank god, neither of them are bruised and battered though Daryl did smack the side of his head rather painfully against a door trying to block a walker. They’re taking three boxes of canned goods, some jumpers for the colder weather and a large handful or seven of treats back to Alexandria. He feels good. Better than he has in a long time; he can almost forget that his shoulder hurts every morning and his brother is dead and the dead are, you know, eating people.

He glances at her out of the corner of his eye, fighting the quirk of his lip that tries to sneak up on him again and failing miserably. She clocks it anyway, picking his hand up to her lips to press a kiss to it before dropping it out of reach in a way that’s so very her. She’s careful with him, never overstepping the boundaries she guesses he has because he hasn’t actually told her, but she offers affection like most people offer hellos. She never pulls away without reassurance.

“Can I see what’s on this?” her voice breaks him out of his thoughts, holding up a crappy mix-tape she’d found atop one of the boxes. She doesn’t even know if it will work, but she’s trying to be appreciative of the small mercies that come with this impossible life and by a stroke of luck they’re driving a car old enough to still have a damn tape slot. She doesn’t expect words to accompany his nod.

And suddenly she’s blaring out the words to a song he vaguely remembers from before, dancing in her seat whilst she lowers her voice for comic effect.

She can sing, he knows she can so she’s doing this for his benefit, to make him laugh. He’s heard her voice in the shower, echoing through their new home, melodic and soft and beautiful. His whole body is warm, bursting at the seams with affection, with the knowledge that she thinks of him even in the tiny moments; that even when she’s doing something she’ll enjoy she’s still trying to entertain him.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here

Maybe it’s the words that set his brain off. Maybe its that the dust reminds him of a home that had never been a home. He thinks back to all the times he’s watched her from a distance, the times he was too afraid to talk to her but wanted to keep her safe, following her from behind like a fucking stalker. He flinches as the memories of the kids in the playground flood him, the ones who’d called him weird and creepy, the voice of his father saying nobody would ever love him, the southern twang of his brother saying the same, ‘nobody is ever gonna love ya except me, baby brother’. But she does, doesn’t she? Or at least something close, she’d made that clear.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here

Hadn’t she made that clear? Hadn’t she kissed him of her own volition? Had he stayed too close until she had no other choice? Had he made his feelings too obvious? Had he been weird and creepy? Had he forced his affection on her until she’d just given in? Maybe people in his previous life had been right about him.

He pulls through the gates on autopilot, doesn’t even remember who was on guard duty but someone had to have let them in. He unloads the car, mind simultaneously numb and in overdrive, hands the boxes to…someone and slams the door shut hard enough he makes himself flinch.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Her soft voice barely registers through the muddled thoughts, she sounds far away and out of reach.

“Nothin’”

He shakes off the warm fingers against his arm, turns to trudge back to their shared house, ignoring the way her footsteps follow in time with his, trying to ignore that he knows she’s got shorter legs than he does and he knows she’s trying to catch up.

“You’re a terrible liar”

“I ain’t”

“Daryl-“

“I can’t do this” he pauses, doesn’t dare to look her in the eye as he scuffs his toe against the asphalt. He hasn’t thought far enough ahead to realise she has to follow him home as she lives there, he just needs to flee “Us” he clarifies as if she hadn’t worked it out already.

“You were fine five minutes ago, I don’t-”

“I ain’t good at this shit. I dun’ want it” he lies through his teeth.  He’s never wanted anything more in his life.

Her footsteps don’t resume as his do, and he takes her not following as acceptance, as proof his brain is right, as confirmation she never wanted him in the first place. Kicking off his boots as he seeks sanctuary inside their home he leaves the front door open for her. He’s never been inconsiderate on purpose.

Body freezing momentarily when he finally hears the front door click shut, he breaths a small sigh of relief that she’s home before guilt gnaws at him. Chewing his fingernails, he half expects her to come to his room, but he hears her upstairs closing the door to hers before the boiler kicks in to tell him she’s taking a shower. His head throbs at him, but the painkillers are in the bathroom upstairs and he avoids taking them unless he really has to.

It’s a testament to how fucking awkward he is that he hides in his basement bedroom until the sun has set, as if he hasn’t wanted a cigarette for the past two hours. Carol won’t let him smoke in the house, a rule implemented months ago, before she’d left for her own smaller house. He’s yet to break it out of respect and if he’s honest, fear. If anyone could sense something wrong from buildings away it would be Carol, and he doesn’t trust his partner housemate not to tell Carol just for a laugh. Daryl both loves and hates how close the two women are, by which he means that it’s lovely until he is the target of their anger or humour and then it is significantly less so.

“Thought you might want some company” her voice startles him out of his thoughts as she sits gracefully next to him on the front step of the porch.

“Don’t need ya pity”

“Good, ‘cause I’m not pitying you” She tries to keep the anger out of her tone. She doesn’t know what’s going on but if she’s confident about one thing its that Daryl wants her and she’s not about to let him sabotage his own happiness by being hard on himself “How’s the head?”

“Sore”

She shakes the small bottle of aspirin at him, pulled from the pocket of her pyjama pants.

“Take a painkiller”

“Better spent on someone else”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Mo’ important people ‘ere than me, I ain’t ever been worth nothin’”

“Daryl-“

“Nah, I ain’t, I weren’t worth shit before, didn’t even have a fuckin’ job, ain’t worth shit now”

“Don’t do that, don’t act like you’re not important, just fucking don’t”

There’s such fierce disappointment under the ire in her tone that it stops him for a beat. He raises his gaze from the smooth wooden steps to look at her face, takes her in properly since he’d walked off earlier in the day. He catches the worry in her eyes, the wobble in her bottom lip she’s trying to bite away, chewing nervously.

“Why? I dun’ deserve ya, dun’ deserve any of this” voice cracking, splintering at the edges around the emotions he’s so used to burying. He can’t bury them when she’s looking at him like this.

“I’d die for you and you don’t even think you matter” she laughs sadly, but its wet, squishy, it doesn’t sit right on her face through the water that’s leaving her eyes. He wonders if she’s aware of the magnitude of what she just said, but she isn’t done, doesn’t show a sign that he can interrupt to point it out “What did I do wrong? How have I failed to show you that? I don’t understand”

Daryl has spent his whole life thinking he is in the way, that he’s a burden no matter how much he tries to prove his worth. He’s never been anyone’s first choice, but here she is crying at the thought of losing him, taking his ridiculous issues as a way she’s failed and he can’t have it, he just can’t. He reaches over, linking his fingers with hers, looking down to watch the way her thumb rubs over his fingers.

“Did I push this on ya?”

“Daryl no”

“What if I didn’t give ya a choice?”

“Daryl, look at me” she waits patiently until he turns his head to her “I chose this, I chose you” she keeps her hand in his as she eases up off the porch steps, tugging his hand until he complies, stubbing out his cigarette on the way up “Come inside”

She looks the door behind them, dims the lights before letting her hand drop and standing facing him in the middle of the room. He stands stock still, lost and confused as she strips her clothes off, purposeful but not rushed. He feels the heat that floods his cheeks.

Finally, when she’s completely naked she locks her eyes on his

“This scar, the one on my side? When I was seven I fell out of a tree, had a stick go right through, it was gross. This one on my shoulder? Argued back once with the wrong man, put me through a door. This one? See it? Put my arm through a window three sheets to the wind on bad tequila, think I wanted to end it all”

He swallows hard, never having had the stories behind the scars he’s seen. They’ve been intimate, a handful of times since this thing started, but she’s hidden almost as much as he has so this bravery is new. Astonishing.

“Do you see me, Daryl?”

“Yea-“ the crackle in his own voice cuts him off.

“Look at me and tell me I don’t look like I have a choice right now. Tell me you made me do this”

“I can’t”

He doesn’t realise he’s stopped closer until her fingers are toying with the collar of his button down.

“Please take it off”

He wants to protest, shifting on his feet in discomfort but the look on her face is so fucking soft, so open and vulnerable as she stands bare in front of him and he tries to keep his eyes on her face. He’d never deny her anything, so he undoes the buttons with shaking fingers. Hers follow, easing the shirt off his shoulders.

He shudders as she traces her fingers over the scars that litter his torso, reaching forward to place his hands around her waist, grounding and solid. Her skin is warm under his touch.

“I wish you could see yourself how I do”

“What d’ya see?” He whispers, kneading the flesh under his palms absentmindedly. He’ll deny himself the pleasure of his base urges as he’s done throughout the years, but even he’s not strong enough not to trail his hands up and down her skin, knuckles grazing the underside of her breasts with each upward stroke.

“Strong, kind, decent. You’re beautiful, Daryl Dixon”

He sucks in a sharp breath as she continues.

“Blue eyes, the way they look at me" she didn't need to look up to his gaze to know it was there, but she does anyway, sees the admiration, the pleading that's always behind his eyes "Look at your hands on me” she lays her hands over his, marvels at how much space they take up on her ribcage “Big, warm hands, safest hands I’ve ever known”

He clenches his eyes shut, shaking his head in disagreement, opening them again when he feels her palm against the stubble on his cheek.

“They’re safe, Daryl, I don’t know what’s happening in here right now” she taps his forehead with a finger “But I see you. Let me love you”

“Ya love me?”

“Yes” makes sure she looks at him when she says it, simply and firmly, no room for argument “Eyes wide open, knowing who you are, knowing what you’ve done, seeing you. Yes. I love you. Let me show you”

MUSIC I THINK THE POETS WOULD ENJOY

this is not time period accurate but i do not care. i at least tried to keep it pre-2000s. also i’m 100% projecting my music taste onto them. deal with it? spotify playlists, each of which has around 30 songs, are linked below each description ! i spent forever on this 😭

Charlie Dalton

i’m not sure that i could pinpoint very many artists he’d particularly like, but this is a classic rock boy right here. he’d be into ac/dc, motley crue, led zeppelin, etc. perhaps a bit of duran duran (this is where i’m projecting the most.) songs about s3x and women, and songs that make him feel like the rebel he is. (this playlist has been gale hansen approved on twitter btw)

Neil Perry

oh i just know this kid would be into some funk and pop, especially 80s and perhaps even new wave (i’m again projecting). now THIS is a duran duran fan (specifically their early stuff), which is unsurprising since the lead singer has a drama degree. he’d also probably like fleetwood mac, and would be well-versed in the band’s drama. duran duran, wham!, fleetwood mac, abba, maybe even some hall & oates. songs with complex lyrics and also songs that make him wanna dance. lots of upbeat stuff because though he has things that bother him, he’d rather do anything but dwell on them.

Todd Anderson

honestly, considering they’re roommates, i feel like neil would’ve had a bit of an impact on todd’s music taste, so there’s some band influence there—but regardless, i think todd would be into more mellow and emotional songs. jeff buckley comes to mind, along with the eagles, the beatles and maybe a splash of the smiths also pls pretend now and then didn’t come out last year. he would also be letting it linger i fear

Knox Overstreet

knox would be similar to Charlie, as they probably bond over shared music taste just as much as everything else. very heavy on the classic rock, but a lean more towards songs about needing someone and love songs as he pines for Chris. Tom Petty, Robert Palmer, The Cars, and a bunch of songs introduced to him by Charlie. He sticks more to genre/theme than to a specific artist methinks

Richard Cameron

contrary to what some may think, i think Cameron would absolutely groove to some rock n roll. HOWEVER. he is a 60s-70s rock n roll elitist. he thinks Billy Idol’s cover of Mony Mony is a disgrace. he wholeheartedly believes the Beatles are the best band to have ever graced the planet. The Beatles, The Beach Boys. The Rolling Stones, etc. Maybe even some Simon & Garfunkel. Him and Charlie argue a lot about which decades were the best years of rock music

Gerard Pitts

free my boy. he just wants to dance he ain’t do nothing wrong. his music taste has definitely been influenced by some of the other poets, in the sense that if he hears a song with a funky beat that makes him want to dance, it’s added to his mixtape IMMEDIATELY. for this reason, i’m thinking lots of funk and groove. play that funky music white boy! Bee Gees, ABBA, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, etc. as long as he can dance to it he could care less who it’s by

Steven Meeks

another old rock, but more on the calm side with some hints of folk and fun. Donovan, The Beatles (paul is his fav for sure), The Beach Boys, and he definitely loves every white person anthem, including Sweet Caroline. he likes to groove with Pitts but also like soothing music to study to !!! i had to consult my friend on this one i fear i was drawing a blank

AND THAT is my opinion on each of the poets’ music taste. did i squeeze Duran Duran into almost all of them? perhaps. they’re my fav band let me live… feel free to listen to the playlists (please listen to them. pls i don’t want to have made them in vain.) and maybe even become spotify moots with me :D

[gyllenhaalstuff]

omg hi i love ur donnie fics sm!!! so filthy and delicious. may i please request something sweet and fluffy tho?? maybe with the rocks at your window concept

Sure! This is just a small blurb but I’m honestly falling in love with this au (other fic from it here). Though I’ll warn you that I rarely write fluffy stuff, so I’m kind of in unfamiliar territory.

Summary: Being with Donnie in his car is a much nicer way to pass the time than to listen to your friends yap about nothing and everything all at once.

Warnings: Mention of weed but that’s it.

Word count: 350 ish

~

Even though you had a persona to keep up, once in a while you’d sneak away during your lunch break and sit with Donnie in his beat-up car. You’d tell your friends you were going to the library but then run off to the parking lot behind the school.

Donnie’s car always smelled like weed and air freshener, but he never smoked with you there, he knew you hated that he smoked at all. His car became your sanctuary as much as it was his. This was the place where you could shit talk your friends and their asshole boyfriends. Even the occasional rant about how much you couldn’t stand your parents slipped out. How much each dinner prayer felt more and more wrong as time went on.

Donnie put on a mixtape. He made it with you in mind, though he’d never admit to it. Just like you’d never admit that The cure was really growing on you.

“Molly seems like a real bitch,” he said after one of your complaining sessions. You smiled at that expression, sometimes it felt like he said the things you never had the guts to. “Yeah she is.” Donnie smiled at you. “A what?” “A bitch,” you blurted and his smile widened. “You’re much cooler than you let on.” Though you didn’t understand what was so cool about you. In fact, you didn’t understand what Donnie saw in you at all.

“I really do like you,” Donnie stated. Not like it wasn’t obvious, he just wanted you to know. Wanted you to know that whenever you were ready to leave everything behind he’d be there waiting. “You should just leave all those stuck up debutants behind and run off with me.” That’s all he ever thought about. “If I could I’d do it right away,” you assured him. Donnie never truly understood what stood in your way, but knowing you wanted him was enough for now.

You laid your head on Donnie’s shoulder as Just like heaven streamed from the speakers. “You smell nice,” you mumbled, “Like laundry detergent.” Donnie blushed, thankful your eyes were closed and didn’t witness his pathetic smile. He kissed the top of your head and rested his head on yours. “If we fall asleep I’ll kill you,” you told him, not in a very threatening way. He chuckled, “It’d be worth it.” His arm sneaked around your waist as he imagined how it could be like this always.

And when your breathing evened out and your ribcage rose and fell slowly, he allowed himself to close his eyes too.

hmm savv what would u do with mutual pining and woozi? :3c

daisy,,, beloved,,,,,,,,,, how dare you make me think about mutual pining w/ woozi ( /hj ) (i am already pining for him and thinking abt MUTUAL pining is going to drive me actually insane methinks g o d sdkjflskjdf)

ok so. SO. after vibrating in my seat and fantasizing abt lying down in the middle of the floor for the rest of time as i think about this concept, i have come to the following conclusion: mixtapes. and i mean in the classic "hey i made you this mixtape" sense

reader and jihoon are both producers for the same label and don't really interact that much at first. in fact, they don't actually even meet for the first time until soonyoung invites them both to his birthday party and they start talking shop, bonding over teasing soonyoung, and then ending the night with a promise to grab lunch together sometime.

fast forward a couple of months and they are officially Friends. they've managed to start a tradition of getting lunch together once a week and bitching about various work bullshit, and they've also started to hang out together in group settings after realizing they have more mutual friends as well

reader is the first one to send jihoon a song. it's a few hours after their weekly vent session, jihoon having taken up most of the time complaining about shitty higher-ups giving ridiculous deadlines and stuck-up idol wannabes trying to tell him how to do his job without having a clue about what his job actually is, and he gets a message from reader that says "i feel like this fits ur current mood" with a link to a song. [cw the song linked has a somewhat startling gun sound] he clicks on the link, curious, and then bursts out laughing after a few confused moments of listening bc that was NOT what he was expecting, at all

and that's how it starts, really. a few days later, he sends reader a song with the caption "how much u wanna bet soonyoung would choreograph something to this just bc it has the word 'tiger' in the title" / "no bet he absolutely would" / "ur no fun :P" / "sorry can't hear you i'm sending it to soonyoung as we speak"

pretty soon they're sending songs back and forth almost daily "what are ur thoughts on this" / "?? i don't speak french" / "and?" / "...ok yeah this is p good" "is this kinda close to the vibe you're trying to get for that one group you're working with?" / "not quite. but that's ok bc IM Vibin with this one" "i need u to stop whatever ur doing and listen to this with the bassist bass you can get with w/ ur setup" / "ok??" ... "holy shit" / "RIGHT?"

fast forward another couple of months, and reader shows up to jihoon's studio with a can of coke zero and a flash drive. "what's this?" / "this, my dear woozi-ssi, is going to be the solution to our creative blocks" and then reader goes on to explain their idea: they both have tracks that they're stuck on (personal, professional, or otherwise), and so they're gonna 'sisterhood of the traveling pants this shit' ('i literally have no idea what you're talking about'). aka: reader put some files they're having trouble with on this flash drive, and jihoon's gonna add any notes/ideas he has and then give it back with some of his own trouble files on it. rinse and repeat

and not only does it work ("ohmygod i've been trying to figure out that bridge transition for DAYS THANK YOU") but it also becomes Their Thing. like, they're used to collaborating with other writers/producers/etc bc it comes with the job, but something about this silly little flash drive... feels Special. [*cough*it's because they're catching Feelings*cough*]

tHIS IS GETTING SO LONG FUCK OKAY other things i would include in this fic: - one noticing the other has been working on a lot more love songs lately (or maybe a lot more Sad (read: pining) love songs) - reader has a bad day at some point and they end up losing the flash drive and they have a breakdown over it (jihoon comforts them and also helps them find it we love emotional hurt/comfort in this household) - scenes where they're individually waxing poetic about the other to different friends and the friends are like "bro. ur in love with them" "uh, no? they just have a great work ethic and a great taste in music also their lyricism is just—" "you. are. in. love." "i admire them professionally!

AND THEN THE CONCLUSION!! one of them decides to bite the metaphorical bullet and confess their Feelings. this could be either of them, but i'm gonna go with jihoon bc i can. so of course he can't just say "hey i love you" like a normal person, he has to confess through music. so he goes out and buys a new flash drive (with a really cute cover bc he knows they'd like it) and puts two folders on there. the first folder is full of instrumental files and is titled "all the times i couldn't find the words". and the second folder is titled "and all the times i could" and it's all love songs he's written inspired by/for reader

he sneaks into their studio and leaves the flash drive on your desk while you're in a meeting, and then he Waits and waits and waits some more until it's time to go home and it's been total radio silence and his heart feels like it's been crushed. so he starts to head home in the rain (bc i am a cheesy bastard and love rainy confession scenes) but after a few minutes of walking he hears shouting behind him and he turns to see you sprinting at him while screaming his name and before he can get a word out you're clutching his shoulders, soaked to the bone and asking "do you mean it? the songs, did— do you really mean it?"

and all he can do is nod because his heart still hasn't quite found its way back to his chest yet, and then he can't nod anymore because you're kissing him. you're kissing him, and he drops the umbrella he was holding and you're both kissing in the rain bc you're both obnoxious helpless romantics and "y/n-ah, i mean it— i mean it. i love you"

"i love you too, you stupid romantic bastard oh my god"

"hey, you're the one who started kissing me in the rain"

and it ends like the cheesy romcom this turned into bc i couldn't help myself and i need to lie down in a puddle of feelings now k thx

[send me a person and a trope/au and i'll tell you what kind of plot i'd write for them]

I just woke up from a nap so excuse my random thoughts

Max absolutely would be a god at eating out, like imagine him being so desperate to eat you out that he's burying his face in you, slobbering and suffocating himself just to get you off

Like nothing can convince me that he doesn't give the most mindspinning, toe curling, back arching, fingers gripping sheets, eyes rolling back, life altering, religious orientation shifting, samsung spin cycle type head

I'm a little hungover so thanks for listening to my ted talk✋😌

(I have more if you need wink wonk)

im cackling at samsung spin cycle type head 😭 so real for that‼️ ill take more ofc always, sorry u are hungover sending u loves of love babes

he would so give the best head i fully believe he’s very giving and loves giving head especially. everything about it. his girl would tease him sometimes, make him wait. say she’s reading something really interesting on her phone and he’s like okay i’ll just rest my head in your lap i can wait. she’d let him lay there, rubbing his face against her thighs and kissing them softly. he keeps inching higher but she keeps her thighs pressed shut for a few minutes, letting him get antsier as she curls a hand through his hair and continues to scroll on her phone until she gives in. he’s ravishing her immediately, complaining about having to wait, he can’t be bothered to tease her back or punish her for making him wait, he just wants to taste her and make her cum on his tongue until she’s begging him to stop.

also i think ab this pic a lot and i know he says he doesn’t listen to music but i am a music girlie so nm what i have to believe he’s just kind old school and doesn’t like new music but loves old records and ensures he has a laptop with a disc drive so he can buy cds and put them on his laptop then burn cds. i want to believe he’s got on old leather cd case full of self burned mixtapes like below. and w records he would have like frank sinatra and the temptations, fleetwood mac, prince, some classic rock. its just cute.

so sorry to anyone who didn’t grow up burning their own cds its a dif kinda vibe. esp illegally downloading ur fav songs when ur a kid.. feels so badass

Hey baby girl, have u seen the mixtape dominATE thing? Plz tell me ur picking up what theyre putting down. It cannot be a coincidence that there is a song called Truman and the entire thing is blue. The shades of blue that u have used since the beginning of time. U end ur long stories with the quote from the Truman show all the time. The good morning and good night thing. Ain't no damn way that is a COINCIDENCE.

They know about u I can feel it. They know about ur entire shit. They probably religiously read ur stuff as much as the rest of us do. I know they're a sucker for ur mental health shit. They want u to know I swear on my dead mamma.

They are watching u girl 👀

I will be anxiously waiting for them to reach out to u and expose themselves. Ur creative as hell. U would give them the best comeback ideas. U could make a story and everything. They'd pay u bank.

Skz if u see this we want Lie to plan a come back for u.

Hey, baby WHAT? 😃 That's new, but yes I have seen it!! I can't wait to listen to it and I'm super excited. Honestly, I forgot I ended my stories that way. I believe I did that randomly after being sleep deprived and on caboodles of caffeine. It became a habit afterwards. I've never seen the Truman Show and when someone pointed it out to me, I don't think I used the full quote from the show.

I feel like it is just a coincidence. We don't know if the song is about the Truman Show, but I've heard it's really popular. I feel like I need to watch it, regardless. Plus, comebacks are prepped far in advance. I think it's a silly coincidence and sure, spectating is fun, but that's all it really is, isn't it?

The idea of one of them reading everything makes me so nervous like oh, well, here are pieces of my soul laid out and written in the form of fanfics about you. Ta-dah!! Don't get me wrong, I love Stray Kids, but the truth is I started writing fanfics for myself. Because deep down, I so desperately needed an escape from my own horrendous mental health. When I first started writing fanfics, I did it because I was so lost.

I started to write drabbles once I was in a better place mentally. My stuff didn't become about me anymore, it came about a lot of you. You found comfort and safety in my words after I successfully managed to pull it off for myself. My drabbles are for you, most of the time. My longer fics are for me. I process pieces of myself through them. Writing quite literally became my therapy. I found myself through it.

You are swearing on your dead WHO? 🥲 I'm going to need you to take that back. Please. May your mother rest in peace. Oh my god. It's not everyday I'm speechless, but today is the day that I am. That sounds like a lot of responsibility that I don't think I want. What if it flops? I'd cry.

Back to my point, it's a fun coincidence. It's a silly coincidence and take that conspiracy with a grain of salt. If they want to make it obvious, they can start investing in their content with rats. That's literally what I call everyone. If they put a glimpse of a rats/evil science labs in a music video or my fun little hearts whatever, then you can have your moment.

Until then, let's not create conspiracies where none lie. I don't want you to believe in something that's not true, I'd feel bad

it will be a little predictable but i think demi and sam's first, actual encounter (excluding the one where we approach the characters to introduce ourselves) is when jodi asks for a largemouth bass from demi 🤭

at that point demi has already been in her farm for 2 weeks or so and the villagers kinda learn what's her strengths and such. so one day jodi would personally ask if she could deliver fish since she can catch one with ease :3 demi was already well acquainted with vincent since she tends to make rounds on the library (to self learn about pelican town's culture) and sometimes meeting penny, jas and vincent there - so she brought a snail to give to him when she visits jodi's home 😋

aside from kent (still at war), sam's the only one who didnt really know her that well

demi would enter their home and greet everyone kindly and give vincent a lil snail like "hey, got something for ya" and hes like YIPPE YAYY WKWKRJJE

sam would notice this like damn shes really nice to my family what about me /j (mf you stay in ur bedroom to play shut up/j) jodi encourages demi to stay over and eat dinner together w everyone else so this allowed her to interact w sam a little more :)) nothing too special out of it but it did give sam more reason to pay attention to her at least eeeek 🙈

i guess what came out of the dinner was sam telling her about his passion for music and she'd reciprocate that interest in music too. not necessarily to play but she loves to listen to music as well but wishes she had a radio nearby to blast when she's doing her business...

he'd probably jokingly go like "ill give you my future mixtape to listen to when i get famous" and they laugh it off n such but she does think his passion as a musician is admirable :]] (and that is why he started to care abt her, cuz of her acknowledgement to his dream job wee) shes much sweeter than he anticipated

omg !! jisung is my bias tooo <3 he and hyunjin r my ults in all of kpop, but i'd say i like jisung more by just a little! 😭 i personally started listening to them casually bc a friend was introducing my to kpop around nov 2021 and i stayed pretty casual until i saw them live literally this time last year and that concert rocked my world so hard i had post-concert depression for like. the most miserable week and a half after. when u said they've pushed the boundaries of ur capacity to love...ME TOOO aughhh you said it so perfectly. my first concert w them i was just so shocked by the amount of love in the venue i felt like my heart was so filled with love it could make me float away like i had a giant love balloon in my body. lots of love in that sentence but i can't describe it any other way lol...that's what skz does to me. and im loving 5 star era ! all the tracks are so good but i love item and collision. what are your favorite skz songs?? from 5 star but also across their discog...kind of an impossible question since all of there music is incredible but i just have to ask ToT. and do u have a favorite out of jisung's skz records/solo tracks??? ^^

omg we have similar biases! my full bias line is jisung > hyunjin > lee know + seungmin extreme bias wrecker (i cannot rank him) 💕 omg 2021 was such a great time to hear skz they were truly shaping their sound during that time, and still are, but the beginnings are always fun! omg they're unbelievably good on stage. born to be performers. so charismatic and energetic and they create an incredible safe space full of love indeed! 🥹 i'm glad you got to see them and experience that hehe... i saw them earlier in march this year 💕 it is the highlight of my whole life methinks...! and i'm so happy you love 5 star era 🥹 part of why i left twitter is because too many people i knew were being negative about it (and it's definitely not a perfect era but it was such a downer to deal with all that on the platform lol) while i personally really love this era! my personal favorites from the album are hall of fame and collision (fnf and topline and item too, but alas, i cant just start listing every track as a favorite can i...). as for my favorite songs i'll just list a few ((excluding 5 star and kr title tracks and solo songs)) off the top of my head but this really isn't me ranking them on a serious level: 19, phobia, winter falls, voices, 0325, b me, ssick, DLMLU, mixtape on track, ex, hero's soup, grow up, hello stranger, booster, domino, chill, scars, can't stop... I WILL STOP HERE ⛔️ and omg #HANgenre... i love all his solo tracks so much but i particularly appreciate run, volcano, and close 🖤 i will throw the same questions back at you. what skz songs do you like? what about han's work? and also, what are your favorite title tracks/eras?
