#people younger than me gotta stop getting married im only 22 where are you meeting all these people when will it be my turn

[raspberryzingaaa]

An old friend is apparently engaged and my heart is so sore with missing her and missing having friends. I didn't even know she had a boyfriend. Ill probably get to go to the wedding and im SO hype about that, but I hate that so many miles separate us.

eric the high school music kid

“the music teachers love me!” 

in this alternate universe, eric just goes ham over the music department ft. the boyz’ ‘00 line and kevin.

word count: 1.1k

introducing mr. eric son, class of ‘18, king of the music room

literally

he has his own seat in the music room where he’s designated to sit every class, every lunch, every rehearsal 

the music teachers are there to do what he says tbh lmao

his friends are entirely music nerds too

he was actually inspired to do music for all four years of high school and possibly as a career by his ol’ friend kevin

eric heard him playing the pokemon theme song once on the trumpet and from that day on, eric and trumpet #22 were lawfully married

yep he plays trumpet as a primary instrument but he dominates the entire brass section

all the junior french horns players just put down their instruments and gawk after hearing eric play notes on higher ledger lines 

his friend sunwoo is there joking around with them and saying, “appreciating the king of music, i see”

made a video of him playing the band score for the lion king soundtrack once

like, he played each and every part

the clarinet? first, second, and third parts are played by mr. son himself

the tuba? nothing less from the master of the brass section

eric practices his glissandos on the trombone in between classes

IN THE HALLWAYS PAL 

people would stare as he played 

he was so... loud

common belief is that trumpets are loud and obnoxious

eric wasn’t that... he was another LEVEL above that 

he learns all the solos in jazz songs in one try 

he wouldn’t stop blasting it in the music room after that 

the teachers in their office would cry hearing it, even after they repeatedly tell him to shut up lmao

but overall he’s super loved by the music department and his friends

he was really outgoing and had the best taste in music (aka the hoenn route 113 theme)

he was also super super sweet to younger students omg

a younger trumpet player would ask him for help and he’d be like “yes yes yes omg where do you want to start”

lowkey teaches more in 15 minutes than a teacher teaching for a whole year

makes really bad jokes for some reason

vine references for days

tried to recreate the i’m john cena vine and actually succeeded omg

fun fact: he forgot how to play the recorder after he trashed his in 4th grade lmao

but he learned how to play the john cena theme solely because of the vine look at this music legend 

always makes music council meetings hilariously fun

“it’s the spring dance next week u kno what that means”

he draws the lenny face on the board 

gets called out by the secretary of the music council for 1. being weird and 2. using an old meme

“dang it you think beethoven was treated this way? stop it”

you’d hear his playing of shooting stars on the pa system every once in a while instead of william tell as the song to rush you to class

everyone would cry listening to it

once asked his teachers if he could paint his trumpet pink

“i’m willing to buy it from you guys if you let me”

all the music students are honestly in love with him

i mean who wouldn’t be??? he’s like the purest thing in the school

but hey he’s got no time to love anyone since he’s 

MARRIED TO THE MUSIC 

ha eric the biggest shawol

when it comes to concert time he’s so straight on with his performances

“i’m in every ensemble”

literally he’s in every ensemble in the school 

all the ensembles that he can join, anyways

occasionally plays with the juniors in concerts 

but anyways!! he’s so professional when it comes to concerts and performances

he knows when to not overpower the other sections in their repertoire despite possibly being the loudest trumpet player to ever exist

ONCE HE

he was tryna put his mute on the ground buT IT ROLLED AWAY FROM HIM 

so the mute was in the flutes section 

it was kinda awkward because everyone’s heads just flipped around to look at him

but he eventually got it back 

quietly of course since there was a bASSOON SOLO

he had to play with the mute two bars later

professionally played it off even tho he thought he was gonna play a note wrong and that it was gonna be evident

goes to show that even the best of the best can be a bit clumsy at times too :’)

really nice singing in the choir too :’) he held up so well in the men’s section and it complemented the ladies’ voices 

if you listen closely you could hear him aaaaaa

lkdjslkjgslj kevin came to the concert that night and was like “omg eric your voice improved so much when you were in the choir and your toot toot trumpet skills i’m sososososososo proud”

eric was so flattered he was waving his trumpet around shyly 

at the end of the concert that night the music teachers gave all the seniors a huge shout out but gave eric an even bigger shout out

“ladies and gentlemen let’s come and appreciate our most dedicated music student, eric son!”

THE CROWD CHEERS FOR THE LEGEND

ok so here’s one epic eric moment from that night

he whistled over his besties hwall and sunwoo over for some help

“introducing our three man reed trio, the boyz!”

lmAo im so creative

the band was passed down by one of his friends haknyeon bc he’s gotta graduate too lol

it’s kinda like a senior band kid only group

eric played the melody to giddy up on the sax

hwall did the lit harmonization with his lil clarinet bc i feel like he’d be a clarinet player lmAOLJGDLKFGJ

sunwoo would be the bass clarinet player

he did the rap part instrumental as a solo lol

after the last chord no one cheered bc they were so speechless

even the music teachers didn’t know that this happened

then everyone went WILD

the senior ensemble would be so impressed like

“damn i’m like the same age as y’all but i can’t even play happy birthday on my instrument without looking at sheet music for it”

^ mood 

and that night eric handed down the title of “the boyz” to another legendary junior

and the story on why he chose that junior?? mayb that’s for your own imagination

eric got into a nice uni nearby uwu

his musicianship skills were THAT fantastic 

he was able to get in out of 1000 students who applied,, like i can’t even get free waffles out of a line of 1000 imagine me applying for uni

tl;dr, eric son in this au is a lit music kid and we all aspire to be like him uwu
