Can you do Bill fluff? ( Fem reader please!) I don't mind the era!
pillow fort
✮ bill kaulitz fluff
✮ bill x fem! reader, fluff, 2005 bill
✮ conclusion: you’re his new neighbor and he really likes you. (i didn’t proofread but i don’t think there’s many errors anyways)
✮ A/N: tysm for requesting 🥰 I hope you guys like this. this is my first long fluff so i really hope it’s not ass.
you’re the new girl in bill’s neighborhood. he lives right across the street from you. his mom and your mom became friends really quickly when his mom brought over some desserts as a welcome gift to your family. his mom and your mom got to talking and found they actually have a lot in common with one another and they wanted the twins and you to meet.
when you first met the twins, you thought bill was adorable. he had such a contagious smile and a soothing voice. tom was really chill and funny.
bill thought you were beautiful and he was super shy with you. tom could tell that bill was attracted to you, he just hoped that his shy brother would actually make a move on you.
your moms decided to go on a mall trip that weekend and offered you and the twins to go.
you sat in the backseat of the car between them. bill loved the close proximity. the way your thigh was touching his. sure there was plenty of room for him to move his thigh but he didn’t want to. he also loved the way he could smell your perfume and your shampoo. you looked over at him and admired him. you loved his makeup, his eyebrow piercing, his nose, his lips, his jawline. he could feel your eyes on him and he tried not to blush.
throughout this mall trip, tom was the one doing all the talking and he was desperately trying to get bill close to you. growing up, he’s always watched bill wait for girls to make the first move, being too shy but he wanted bill to be the one to do it this time. whenever your back was turned, tom would push bill closer to you, receiving a warning look from bill each time.
at this point, tom figured the best thing to do would be to do just disappear unnoticed, leaving you and bill alone.
bill tuned around and noticed tom was gone. “where is tom?” he asked. you stopped and looked around “hm… i don’t know. maybe he went to the bathroom?” you replied. bill tried to text tom, only receiving a “just talk to her, learn to loosen up” in response. “damn it” bill cursed under his breath. bill wanted to burst. how could tom just leave him in the dust like this? without tom, he worried he’d make things awkward.
but that wasn’t what happened at all. you guys went into stores together and learned what kinds of things each other liked, what you guys had in common and this is what loosened him up a little and you guys clicked almost instantly. he was helping you pick out clothes and you two wound up playing that one game where one person walks along the clothing racks, running their hand along the clothes and when the other person says stop, that’s the piece of clothing the person has to try on and you’d do that for the whole outfit.
you dared bill to do it in the women’s clothing and he wound up in a skirt, a blouse that looked like something an old lady would wear to church and a sun hat. you both giggled and laughed and he was too embarrassed to come out of the dressing room. he dared you to do the same thing in the men’s clothing and you wound up in some tan khaki shorts that were like baggy jeans on you, a pain white t-shirt and a leather jacket that looked like the one michael jackson wore in his thriller music video.
after that, you two went and got ice cream and reviewed the ridiculous pictures you took of each other in your stupid outfits.
you eventually joined back with tom and your mom’s. you and bill were in your own world together, just yapping, never seeming to shut up, just when tom thought you two would finally shut up, bill opened his mouth again, opening discussion of some other random topic like music or food. he wasn’t annoyed though. he just smiled.
by the time you two got home, you didn’t want to depart from each other. you guys asked and your mom let you and bill have a sleepover. you guys stayed in the living room and made a pillow fort out of the couch cushions and throw blankets, of course while hitting each other with pillows and cussing playfully at each other, even throwing snacks at each other, bill laughed when he smacked you in the forehead with a twizler. you jumped on bill, wrapping a blanket around him and it sent you both plummeting to the floor with laugher. he blushed at the way your arms wrapped around him and how you landed on him.
all your fun and games were ruined however by your mom telling you both it was time to quiet and wind down, telling you guys to clean up your food mess, saying you and bill had it looking like “toddler lunch time at a daycare.”
you guys turned off all the lights and crawled into your pillow fort, you used your old pillow pet that projected stars for light.
bill and you sat in silence for a moment as you looked up at the make shift stars.
“so you don’t have a boyfriend right?”
“no. why do you ask?”
“just wondering… i think you’re super cute and i’d be disappointed if you had a boyfriend.”
you smiled and blushed. bill turned to you, propping himself up on his arm, a hint of a mischievous smile playing on his soft lips.
“have you ever kissed a boy?”
you were embarrassed to admit it “….no”
bill’s smile widened. “do you know how?”
“well… i’m not sure.”
“…want me to teach you?” he absolutely thought he was the shit right now. tom would be so proud of him right now.
you smiled. “yeah… teach me some tricks.”
his shy blush creeped up his cheeks again. he could try and be as bold and sassy as he wanted to but he’ll always be a shy, soft boy at heart and though his demeanor was bold, his lips and touch were gentle. his hand rested on the side of your face as his lips moved in sync with yours.
you were stunned to feel his tongue sneak into your mouth. you made out for what felt like forever, until your tongues were sore and your lips were numb, your tongue toyed with his tongue piercing, his hand gently tangled in your hair before it traveled along your shoulder, down your arm, gently squeezing it. you pulled away from each other but your gaze on each other’s eyes didn’t pull away. “wow” bill breathed out, a pink blush on his pale cheeks.
“actually…. i do have a boyfriend”
bills face faltered. “what?”
“you’re my boyfriend”
he punched you on the arm. “ow!”
“don’t do that, i thought i was going to shit my stomach out.”
“don’t punch me you punk!” you started punching him back, earning laughs from him as he fought back. he pinned you down and started tickling you, you screamed and thrashed around, ruining your guys pillow fort.
you both wound up just sleeping on top of the pile of pillows and blankets, cuddling. he spooned you, his face buried in your hair, your legs tangled together, his breath on the back of your ear while you held his hand close to your chest.
he couldn’t wait to talk tom’s ear off about all this.

im sorry as much as i love taylor to compare her and tommy and act as if taylor and buck were a perfect couple when they both actively hurt one another in their relationship is…like did y’all watch the show. did we forget buck cheated on her and then trapped her into living with him cause he was too scared to tell her. did we forget taylor also betrayed buck’s trust when he practically begged her not to run the story? but yeah, tommy is so so horrible because he didn’t put on a screen accurate michael jackson thriller jacket to the bachelor party and is overall so far on screen, a level-headed “cool” guy who can counter-balance buck’s GOGOGO personality.

nct dream as your 80s trope!
as a lover of 80s/90s music, movies, and fashion, I felt the need to do something like this!
I probably will do, in the future, with 127 and maybe stray kids.
based on my favorite characters from 80s movies <3
Mark Lee
the boy who is in a band and also your chemistry classmate
he's a chill kid, never got in trouble, but his bandmates weren't that good people
got in detention and somehow you too
just you two at the library, reorganizing books by alphabetic order and by gender
when suddenly mark asks why you're there, very quietly and timidly
you say that you answered back a professor that didn't liked you and asked the same to mark
"Somehow, I got the smell of Marijuana on my shirt. They didn't believe that I didn't smoke, and here I am!"
time passed by and you and Mark started to going out, watching his performances and going to arcades also spending the entire night talking on the telephone, only to go to school and spend the entire morning talking and giggling too
eventually, you two got suspended (again) for laughing too loud.
and since then, you two started an incredible bound.
Huang Renjun
your favorite local bad boy even tho he's not bad at all
for some reason he loves all star and leather jacket
smells like mint and mango
except his straight face and the "I might kill you if I want" eyes, he's very sweet and gentle
is your seat mate in algorithms and helps you everytime when you have difficulty with something with a gently voice
and if needed, he will repeat it 100x until you understand it.
your small chats stays only at school, but as times pass by, he asks you to ride you home on his motorcycle or if you need help in any other classes
he's a good listener and gives good advices when you struggle with life
when the first mall inaugurated in your small city, he right away took you there and spent the entire day walking in and out the stores without buying anything except for some ice cream
you watched back to the future for the first time with him
Lee Jeno
the nerd one who is not that nerd
except the great ability he has in some classes and some geek t-shirt he uses (like Star Trek or spider-man). People call him nerd because of his looks and his round glasses
you step out for him during a bullying session and even punched the guy in the face, since then, jeno never left your side
and you kinda didn't want him to, you liked his presence
always reading a comic book or making up theories about the universe. might as well call you during the night saying "y/n, it's jeno! look outside your window, it's full moon!"
loves dracula and zombies theory
at some point, you got 10 magazines only about spider man without noticing
every single one belongs to jeno
likes to go to the park, sit on the grass, and read comic books to you
also into horror movies such as halloween and Scream
would rent a lot of horror movies to see during Friday after school and, at some point in the middle of the night, you two would sleep together on the couch
Lee Haechan
works on a local vinyl shop
eventually knows everything about music and can talk about it with you during hours
bon jovi? that's okay. Metallica? he knows everything about them, too. ABBA? great taste!
that's how you meet him. soft black hair with blond mullet, denim jeans, and black boot with a michael jackson t-shirt.
you went to his shop to buy a gift for a friend and haechan helped you choose madonna's true blue album
he truly loves his job and is always singing while walking on the store or organizing things
he often calls you to keep him company and you eventually started working with him
he has a lot of albuns on the palm of his hand but only didn't have thriller by Michael Jackson since it is the most album seller in the entire world
you gave it to him as a birthday present and haechan cried a little, hug you and whisperer a soft thank you
you two spend the entire day listening to the album, dancing and laughing
Na Jaemin
the popular one with the nice hair
I swear, he has great hair, and it even glows in the sun because of how hydrated it is
always says he uses Farrah Fawcett hair spray
even tho he's popular he's not the jerk one
he's very kind and likes to meet new people
that's how he meet you, the new student
he showed you around, who you can talk and who you can't mess with
and also offered to be with you during lunch breaks
has a great sense of style
always uses flannel shirts and all star shoes
at some point, you two became inseparable, and he kind of forgot the ones who only wanted to be with him because of his "fame"
would totally take you out in those roller rink and also late night talks to gossip !!!!
Zhong Chenle
also the famous one, but it's because he's on the basketball team and team captain
everyone thinks he's a jerk and full of himself but in reality he's just more reserved
but when he's with his real friends, he turns into a sunshine ball and laughs easily
meet you because he shot the basketball ball in your direction
since you worked at the school newspaper, he broke your camera
you started to avoid him because you were so mad at him but he bought you a new one and even better
that made a soft spot for him but you were still a little upset
so he asked you out so he can properly apologize
since then, he would be your muse
drive in dates!!!!!!!
and after the dates, he would take you to eat on McDonald's
Park Jisung
the skater boy who's always with his headphones on and walkman on his waist
is into rpg such as d&d and arcades
you meet him by accident at the arcade
you two wanted to play the same game, and jisung kind of just stopped on his track, gazing at you, and you starred back, both of you didn't know what to do
being the gentleman he is, he let you play first and discovered you were the one who broke his record on the game
"wow, you're so good at this", he would say eventually in a little whisperer but you heard him
he's too shy, so you probably would be the one to ask him to go on the arcades on a daily basis or after school
jisung would explain to you how d&d works with such enthusiasm that convince you to play with him
also would teach you how to skate
and if you fall into his arms, he would blush furiously

Now that we are back to our regularly scheduled programming where we talk ish about money hungry people, after hearing Thriller play practically all night without geeking out, it reminded me about the piss poor editing they had in their little movie. One of them was having a clip of Thriller, him saying “And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike” and then they get into the bullshit. What a way to make something not about you about you.
And James’s stupid ass said in Leaving Neverland that he was given the iconic Thriller jacket lmfaooooo he said when he visited Michael's and the Jackson’s Hayvenhurst home he was told to pick from a closet anything he wanted and said “I picked the Thriller jacket, of course—go big—and I took it home."
And yet all THREE versions of the Thriller jacket that exist were donated by Michael Jackson himself and are in museums 🤣 the original one was sold at auction and is in the Rock N Roll hall of fame under constant surveillance
James wishes he was relevant to Thriller like the pathetic loser he is.
And speaking of piss poor editing, remember how they tried to manipulate an audio recording of Michael to make it sound like he was obsessed with James ??? When Michael actually mentioned being with an entire group of people and the entire family, not specifically James at all as was proven in court documents lol.
Or what about the manipulated photos of Michael making it look like he was with James alone when he never was??
they deleted bro from the picture 🤣😭😭😭
oh, speaking of the shady editing: remember when James Safechuck made up that whole lie about WEDDING VOWS and pulled out a fucking promise ring with a little box and everything and said he MARRIED MICHAEL 😭🤣 and fans called them out for the editing and then Dan Reed publicly admitted that he staged the shots and filmed that entire “wedding” story 17 months AFTER everything else?
That certainly gave them enough time to acquire wedding rings and to come up with that ridiculous story 🤣🤣🤣
Or how after Leaving Neverland dropped and then MJ fans worldwide started tearing it apart with FACTS, Dan Reed kept editing it and reshowing it on streams and tv and he kept deleting scenes from the moms because they were debunking their own sons allegations? Lmfaooo good times!
Listen, I can’t wait to see what else happens with the HBO vs MJ Estate lawsuit. I hope and pray that Dan Reed is forced to turn over all of the deleted footage, all the BTS shit, because god only knows what kind of lies and coaching we will find if we see that

I saw a little boy in the library today (like, toddler little) and for a second I thought he was wearing a Kobra Kid jacket and I got super excited but then I realized it was a Michael Jackson Thriller jacket and was kind of disappointed but then the delight of seeing a tiny kid in a Thriller jacket kicked in.

"Thriller" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. It was released as the seventh and final single from his album of the same name, Thriller (1982). It's a funk song featuring a repeating synthesizer bassline and lyrics evoking horror films, with sound effects such as thunder, creaking doors and wolf howls, ending with a spoken-word sequence performed by the horror actor Vincent Price. It was produced by Quincy Jones and written by Rod Temperton, who wanted to craft a theatrical song to suit Jackson's love of film.
"Thriller" received positive reviews and became the album's seventh top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number four in 1984. It is certified as a Diamond seller by the Recording Industry Association of America and won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance. The song has returned to the Billboard Hot 100 chart multiple times since its initial release due to its popularity around the time of Halloween.
The "Thriller" music video was directed by John Landis and premiered on MTV on December 2, 1983. In the video, Jackson becomes a zombie and performs a dance routine with a horde of the undead. Playboy Playmate Ola Ray plays his date. Many elements of the video have had a lasting impact on popular culture, such as the zombie dance and Jackson's red jacket, and it was the first music video inducted into the National Film Registry. It has been named the greatest music video of all time by various publications and readers' polls.

Alright what’s the thriller story idk that I’ve heard it before
Okay, so.
Michael Jackson's Thriller also includes the vocal pleasure that was Vincent Price - crown prince of horror, the voice of choice for all your terrifying needs.
I'm a horror pansy, but the man was legendary.
I love his part in the song, the sound of his voice, the laugh - I'm a sucker for a good voice and always have been.
Anyway, in my 23-25 age range, I had, at the time, paid to have Vincent Price's iconic laugh as the ring tone for whenever I got a text message.
This Beautiful Sound if you've never heard it before.
Anyway.
I was working security, second shift, mostly I was just there to keep an eye on the after hours cleaning staff (in the "don't get trapped in the elevator, and here let me sign you into this place" sort of way). We had dress shirts with breast-pockets (where I kept my phone!), formal jackets, and ties. All very hoity-toity.
We became good friends, until I got my current job it was the longest I'd stayed in one place.
One of the cleaning ladies was out for about a week, came back and was catching up with me on things. She was out because someone had murdered her nephew.
Her child-aged nephew.

candy corn — do u and ur fノo enjoy watching horror movies together ? who’s the one that hides behind the other when they get spooked ?
UGH i watch them bc he enjoys them but he's definitely just one of those guys that likes watching them because he LOVES that i hide and cry and like have a death grip on his shirt the entire movie. will definitely pull me into his lap and comfort me while he's watching someone get brutally murdered and i'm just suffering (but i'm also eating up the attention from him so i'm no better LMAO) also there are definitely like 20 horror movies sitting in our "continue watching" list bc sometimes i'm literally like "NOPE this one's too much for me" and sometimes he convinces me to give them another try (i.e. birdbox. i stopped when they get to that house and then have to go on the boat the first time we watched it and he was like "PLEASE WE HAVE 10 MINUTES LEFT YOU CAN DO IT IT'S NOT THAT BAD") but i REFUSE to finish IT (i made it like 2 minutes into that movie. yellow jacket boy loses his arm or whatever and is curled up in that ball in the rain?? that was it for me!! i'm done!!). i literally got up and left bc one time he tried to make me watch the music video for thriller (michael jackson) when we were in high school at like two in the morning bc i'm a giant wuss 😭😭 THE ONLY HORROR MOVIE I ENJOY IS THE SHINING!! (how many times have i talked about the shining on this blog omg) i just love the liminality of it and how crazy that entire movie was and all of the symbolism and yes!!!!

My stance on Rogue originally intended to be black and based on Grace Jones is coincidentally the same as when I first heard Nightcrawler was supposed to be based on Michael Jackson
I was very surprised and somewhat intrigued but then I thought about it and realized that the excuses we got as to why there wasn't more efforts put in representing that intended inspiration sounded cheap AF and whatever was done in canon didn't corroborate with those intentions at all
Rogue had the artist not know what the actress looked like so... Let's just give up on the idea ! Claremont couldn't describe Grace Jones or get for one of her albums or one of her movie posters ! Nothing can be done for this black character now so let's make her white instead of anything else for representation !
The issue with Michael Jackson for Nightcrawler is the same as Grace Jones for Rogue since Michael Jackson started his musical career in the 60s, switched to a solo one in the 70s and was a big global star since the end of that decade onward so Nightcrawler would have been more than aware of his existence... But not once does he make a single reference to that big star. He makes references to Errol Flynn most of his time, an actor who had been dead for decades by the time he came to America, as well as other pop culture icons, yet MJ gets nothing when he would have already started making his famous music videos or short films. Not even Nightcrawler's fake appearance on his image inducer which he gets to choose and change at will is based on MJ, it's based on Errol Flynn. None of his mannerism are tied to Michael either, he was based on Dave Cockrum. His original concept was a demon that Dave thought off while in a submarine and when Len Wein took the character, he made him German-born. When we finally got a glimpse in the 90s at what Nightcrawler looks like when he was depowered, he was an average white dude with blue eyes... What part of him is supposed to be based on MJ
Youre right and I don't see how Nightcrawler could be based on MJ, when Nightcrawler was made it was actually back in the 60s but Cockrum never published him. The oldest sketch we have of him is from the 1973 Pitch for Legion of Superheroes.
Michael Jackson started his career at age 5 but didn't get famous until he was 10 going on 11 in 1969 with I Want you Back by the Jackson 5. How could Dave Cockrum look at kid Michael Jackson who didn't even have his 80s style by that point and come up with Nightcrawler? And even in 1975, Michael was still with the Jacksons and still rocking the big afro and wasn't really known for wearing red. So again this only works if anachronisms in real life are a thing.
Michael Jackson didn't get the Jheri Curls until like 1980 a whole 5 years after Nightcrawler's debut. He didn't get the Thriller Jacket which resembles Nightcrawler's suit until 1983.
The resemblance between them is coincidental, after 1980s you could probably some instances are based on MJ and I hope there are some examples.
And I'll be honest I would love it if the modern comics tried to add MJ influence such as his hologram device when he wants to look human. Though the quality of the comics now makes me doubt that happening.
I also feel like whoever keeps claiming X-Men characters were based on Black Musicians be it Claremont or otherwise just seem to be unintentionally showing everyone just how bad X-Men actually is in terms of representation if there's like 3 characters who are meant to be black but two have been depicted as white and one is ambiguous but Marvel loves depicting as white then wtf.
Of course Dazzler is the only one we actually have art of as a Black Woman and the only one who doesn't sound inconsistent with time with Michael Jackson or raises too many questions like how would Claremont not be able to describe Grace Jones or find a picture of her? Still though they are admitting to whitewashing a black character with that..
I'd like it to be the case that these 3 are actually depicted as black characters or a racially ambiguous brown but I don't think Marvel is gonna do that.

FUCKKKK. it’s derek! i feel like he really really likes michael. when he was little he had tons of michael jackson costumes and there’s pictures and grainy home videos of him dancing to thriller in a carbon copy of the iconic red jacket. his favorite moonwalk is motown25 which he knows is basic but he just loves the fact that it’s one of the most iconic things ever. he was around 10 when he witnessed it in real time and ever since it’s been one of the coldest mj moments to him. he was sitting close to the tv and his jaw dropped when he saw michael moonwalk. he knows that munich 1997 is top 3 moonwalks (#1 in my head) and he knows all the deep cuts— his favorites are break of dawn and i can’t help it. when he listens to break of dawn he’s saying “and that man said ‘let me move you! let me soothe you!’” he was alive for thriller and he talks about the way michael swept the world with so much enthusiasm and a bright sparkle in his eyes. he’s the biggest fucking fanboy. he’s so excited for the biopic he’s been talking about it since he heard the news.

there is a poll that will help me to decide what Kurt will dress as for Halloween ( it’s currently a tie lol so help me to untie the poll 😆 )
buuut… it will be a regret and a horrible missed opportunity if he’s never dressed as Zombie Michael Jackson from Thriller, just imagine:
The whole Thriller look was a huge influence for Dave Cockrum to create the character so, it’s completely canon in this blog that Kurt has dressed as Zombie Michael Jackson for Halloween before.
As much as I disliked the x-men movies, I must admit they did their job when they gave Kurt his Michael Jackson jacket, someone knew the reference and that made me happy. I’m sure Dave would have been happy about that too.
Happy Halloween everyone!
