Thank you so much.

So I finished it earlier than I thought, here it is!

TLDR: Dominik's tattoo artist talking about meeting Dominik, their friendship and most especially, his brand new chest tattoo and the ideas behind it to two hosts of a Hungarian morning show.

Long intro from the journalists, the only important info is that they mention how due to the request of Dominik’s family they can only ask about certain topics, because it’s a rather intimate matter. Then the male journalist asks about how the artist got there, was it difficult bringing his own stuff to Dominik’s house. 

Tattoo Artist: “ It would have been difficult to gather everything that is needed for making a tattoo and bringing them all with me [to Dominik’s house], so we basically made a ‘studio’ at Dominik’s and that’s how it was done. We ordered what was needed online to his house, and when he had free time on certain days, we worked on the tattoo on his chest.”

Female Journalist: “We know that you can’t say much and neither do we want you to speak in Dominik’s name, so please only tell us what you are allowed to…”

TA: “Just ask me!”

FJ: “Yeah, okay (...) So, what was Dominik’s wish, what did he want?”

TA: “Well, I guess this is a question that can be labeled as private, but perhaps Dominik won’t get mad at me if I tell you guys broadly. What he had in mind is to have a tattoo that can represent and show his journey, his very difficult, but so far successful journey he has been on from the moment he was born, from the moment he started playing football. And also his mentality, what was needed for his journey, that’s what he wanted to have on his skin, inked on, in the form of pictures. Basically, it’s a tool to tell a story, his story. Reading from left to right, starting from the moment he was born to, well, who knows, nobody knows until when, that’s what the stars and planets are meant to symbolize.”

MJ: “It looks very cool, and of course, it looks beautiful on Dominik. (...) How much did it take to complete it, how many hours are needed to make a tattoo [like this one]?”

TA: “Finally, a good question! Good that you asked in hours, because it's easier to answer. We only had certain parts of a day, and he wasn’t always available. so we had to work with that. All in all, it took like 3 days… We had once a 10 hour long session, and I think two 6(ish) hours long ones. All in all, it was like 26 hours.”

FJ: “We know that this story went viral (...) that you have been contacted by many journalists (...), so we are thankful that this is your first interview, and that you chose us. Still, it’s a huge deal that you had the chance to work together with such a big star like Dominik, we know how famous he got (...). Did you know each other from before, or was this your first time meeting him?”

TA: “ Yeah, we do. I will confess, I didn’t think that this would blow up the way it did. I mean, like, I have a good relationship with Dominik, so in my head he is (...) I mean, obviously, I respect him and admire him for what he has achieved, but still, we have a private relationship. So, I didn’t even consider that if I post his tattoo, even the English media will find out about it and report about it, because that’s what happened… Yeah, I have known him ever since he signed for Leipzig. At first, he contacted me, because he wanted a correction for one of his tattoos. I met him for the first time when he was still playing for RB Leipzig.

MJ: “You mentioned how many hours it took to get it done (...), during those hours do you ask him about stuff, trying to have a conversation, or rather sit in silence, listen to music (...) how does it work? Have you found out any behind the scenes secrets?”

TA: “ No. No, because for him, you know, it’s about relaxation. I mean, even if he doesn’t want it, we were together for 3 days constantly. Even if you are forced to be with your best friend in the world that amount of time, being as close to each other as like 5-10 centimeters, face-to-face, it can get a lot. We had a friendly conversation, I’m not trying to ask him for information (...), of course we talked about stuff, a lot of stuff, I will not say we didn’t, but I didn’t spend my 3 days with him trying to get information out from him.” 

The rest of the video was about his personal and work life, where he is currently, career, etc, nothing else about Dominik.

how come you fall on the redge side of the debate?? I can never understand it because it's regg-ulus and so obviously his nickname would be a shortened version of his name and therefore be regg... right? but I would be happy to be converted with a sound argument for redge!

(ps I love your tiktok account like you've swiftly become my fav marauders creator)

redge just sounds better :(( regg. why is he egg :/

but also "reggie" isn't pronounced "r-eggy" is it??? i fucking hope not anyway 😭 i pronounce it r-edgey

i'm now wondering if people do pronounce reggie with an egg and i'm scared.

fuck it, poll time

ooookay! cracks knuckles !

i think it’s rather obvious that one of my most favorite ppl on this site is @fourrarri ! i love every damn thing about her: writing, drawing, editing, personality, way of thinking and dealing with problems, atmosphere, just honestly her whole presence! like the moment she’s not here or on disco i’m immediately :( but the moment she just says morning or hi or even just likes a post or posts one of her own i’m immediately :) !!! someone i really have so much respect for! the dynamics between our muses is exceptional tbh; jayden behaves differently around lance, her boi really has influence on him, which is not a common thing, it’s usually the other way around! i can’t wait to see how it will be with liam as well! and i can’t wait for them to finally act on their feelings lmao! but yeah, imma shut up now bcuz i will never do it if i don’t force myself rn! just know that it’s not reasonless why i follow her from every blog i have and i keep thinking of ideas to make every muse of mine meet hers!

[doragonkuro]

15 questions about mun’s taste in muses. @fourrarri​ said: 3, 6 & 9 uvu

3: do you often get ideas when watching new media? do you end up wanting a canon character, an oc in that world, or just things involving current muses in the world / with those characters?

*looks at ryuji* well, yes i do! ryuji is the ‘living’ proof of that. he’s a ‘unnamed’ son of a character from the cyberpunk game. as for my former muses, sometimes i write canon characters and give my own twist to them. because they feel more like my ‘own.’ you know what i mean?

6: is there a muse you’d add or bring back if you didn’t have to worry about whether others are interested in them or not?

hmmmmm, good question.  perhaps my tony stark blog. i had so much fun when i had that blog. ;-; idk it might be bc it was made in the good old times where aesthetics and stuff didn’t matter. we just rolled with it. i miss that.

9: have the types of characters you play changed over the years?

oh yes, i started with a 45 year old billionaire (tony), then moves into anime rping so those are mostly highschool characters, then i went over to voltron, i even made an alien at some point, dove into the gaming/scifi rp, then made a few supernatural creatures, a tattoo artist and now another gaming chara with crime stuff going on.

[revengeisalwaysanoption]

Io credo che i Rames raccolgano un pò di attenzione come le loro controparti in ogni remakes. Ne è un esempio la S4: certo Sana è amata e la stagione è stata apprezzata nella sua interezza ma tantissima attenzione è stata rivolta alla loro storyline (in primis Netflix proprio per l'apprezzamento e la popolarità che ne segue). Nella S3 io ho visto il tentativo di evitare di non togliere spazio ai protagonisti

Bastava anche solo mettere Nico al posto di Elia, eh. Oppure, se proprio volevi metterci un attacco omofobo (e ci sta, visto che la S2 ha analizzato la tematica LGBT in chiave molto positiva) lo facevi ai danni di Filo (che abbiamo visto essere molto in sintonia con Silvia, quindi si metteva lei al posto di Eva) e i Rames non li mettevi proprio di mezzo...

[magursa]

random ask !! | always accepting !! @fourrarri​ said: so liev has all these bear abilities and i believe they sure come in handy like the night vision is useful for him during work. but were there moments in his life when these abilities got in his way? are or were there moments in his life when he wished he wasn't born a shifter or is he extremely proud of it?

//.       THERE has definitely been moments in his life where he has had a difficult time with his senses. the first time he smelled a dead rotten body. yeah, that made him very nauseous till the point where he puked. or the first time where he entered the big city of moscow. that was a whole lot different thing than living deep in the woods. there were sounds he’s never heard before, cars and their exhaust gases, trash everywhere, thousands of humans and shifters. yeah, he really needed to adjust to that. in the beginning he was very overwhelmed and couldn’t sleep for days. all the sounds just kept him awake, the smells were too much and he just didn’t know what to do, they could make him go crazy. (also the fact that he slept on the streets wasn’t very convenient for him either). but that’s when he thought back to his childhood, the lessons he had as a cub where he has to focus and cancel out sounds and smells. it took him a little while to get used to, but it’s been going well ever since.

liev is just like you said, extremely proud of being a werebear. yes, he’s not happy with the things he’s done when he was younger. but he’s proud of being a werebear. it’s something he’s learned as a cub, to find pride in what you are. there aren’t many of them left and he’s part of a legacy.

there has been one time where he wished him and his family were humans or some kind of other breed. he’s had these thoughts when the hunters attacked his village and murdered everyone in their sight. if they were another species, this wouldn’t have happened...

47-50 for the OTP ask game. also <3 <3 <3

<33

Sorry it took so long to respond, been stuck in the trenches lol

Answering for both Frankie/Danse AND Evelyn/MacCready bc this set of questions inspired me for them both. I hope you don't mind! Also I got carried away again with these mb mb

47.  Are they extroverts/introverts?

Eve/Mac

Evelyn would probably be considered the extrovert of the two of them, though only barely. Eve is not afraid of confrontation or any other social consequences, where MacCready much prefers to keep his head down & skip out of fights where he can. I feel like their choice in weapons does a decent job reflecting this notion (sniper rifle vs melee combat). Both of their social batteries are artificially fueled by alcohol (chems too, in Eve's case). So both are introverted-ish, but Eve is more bold and brash?

Frankie/Danse

Frankie is easily the extrovert and generally a very charismatic (and genuine!) fella. Where Danse doesn't understand social cues well, Frankie willingly chooses to ignore them. He's good with talking and can drag most anyone out of their shell or talk them down. Whatever the situation calls for, he's a charmer for sure. Danse doesn't understand small talk and finds having to engage in it to be exhausting.

48.  Who would bring home a homeless animal?

Eve/Mac

I haven't thought about this before! I think MacCready is mostly wary of animals, given he spent so much time in a cave growing up. Most fauna that aren't small (aka normal sized) rodents make him nervous. Eve might bring home a stray dog or two, so long as they looked tough and mean enough to be trained up into guard dogs.

Frankie/Danse

Frankie. No contest. He grew up on a farm and has a soft spot for all creatures, big and small. Except deathclaws. Heh. Anything that's got four legs and fur is fair game, though. Danse hates this (they have enough mouths to feed as is), but he secretly likes the cats that find their way into Sanctuary a lot and frequently can be found with at least one of them (usually Aurora, the lil orange runt).

49.  Do they match outfits for special occasions?

Mac and Eve most assuredly don't do this, but Frankie and Danse? Hell yeah!! It's a military thing - a way to distinguish themselves from others, as if their outfits were uniforms. They both take comfort in the familiar, and the idea of uniforms is a small piece of their past lives that they've carried over. Oh man, now I really want to write a one-shot on how the outfit matching habit started 😭😭

50.  Who would protect who in a dangerous situation?

Eve/Mac

Evelyn would be the one protecting MacCready ~7 times out of 10, especially in close quarters, where he's more easily visible to enemies since Eve relies entirely on stealth. Also, she would bring the world to its knees if anything were to happen to him, but he's prone to ending up a damsel in distress when she's around. She's starting to think he does it on purpose.

Frankie/Danse

Danse often does a lot more protecting of Frankie than the other way around. Frankie can be a little reckless (something about surviving like three wars and a deathclaw might have given him an invincibility complex) in the field and has gotten himself into some close scrapes - especially since he refuses to use anything other than his shotgun and isn't exactly the best when it comes to stealth. Danse often has to lecture him after the fact, usually while patching him up.

This is very random but is your username to be pronounced like ROW-blogging like row your boat 😍 or ROB-blogging like…well Robyn… (this is stupid im sorry don’t answer this)

really good question actually, never thought about it xx

rob-blogging 🙂↕️ i love robyn puns. whenever i go bowling my screen name is robowling. i'm crying? i'm sobyn. migraine? my head is throbyn. my sirius/serious frfr

this is like the "is reg pronounced regg or redge" debate (btw its redge)

[sophsicle]

ik you’ve answered this before (genuinely like around a year ago I think cuz that’s when I discovered ur amazing tumblr - crazy it’s been that long) but do u imagine reg with a soft g (beg) or a hard g (wedge) yk? also I love all 3 of ur stories sm thank u for ur writing

Beg would be a hard G and Wedge would be soft wouldn't it?

ANYWAY Reg like Redge like edge, not Reg like Regg like egg because I cannot take that name seriously (but of course this is all silly and you can call him whatever you want)

Jealous! Remus Lupin

Request: Alright so, i saw the part where you wrote that Severus and Regulus would secretly fancy me (i love regg sweety) so i was asking how would be a jealous!Remus😊 you can do an headcanon or an oneshot, what inspire you most❤ @onlymexsarah

A/N: This isn't my best headcanon yet, sorry school is kicking my ass, but i hope you still enjoy!

•Remus is generally a very trusting person

•He trusted you enough to show you his true self, of course he is going to trust you around other guys too

•Then again, he doesn't really trust any of the other guys...

•If he catches someone looking at you oddly, he'd shrug it off first

•You are so amazing, how could they not?

•But as soon as they began to talk to you, it will irritate him.

•It is even worse if you are oblivious and answer to them.

•If they try making a move or do something you don't agree to or don't like, you'll see the other side of the moon on his face.

•He doesn't show it as much as the rest of his crew but he can actually go wild when aggravated

•"Just why aren't you ignoring that guy!? Do you actually like him or something!?"

•You'd have to reassure him it is fine and that you only like him

•If the other guy doesn't give up he'd try having a civilized talk with him...

•Civilized can turn to animalistic real quick tho.

•If the other guy says anything disrespectful to you, he'd probably go ahead and break his face

•He won't ever even apologize

•Let's just say that the entirety of Hogwarts will recall the day that Remus Lupin lost his cool...

[jubberry]

oohkay let's go tua with those ship asks: fiveya, horrance and alluther.

thanks el i love you

Send me a ship and I'll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.

fiveya obvs i ship this since this is 90% of my tua drawings lol

1. ill wait ill wait (to be the one) by georgiestauffenberg made me ship it cause holy fuck dude. I dont know if i ship them romantically when i saw them onscreen cause first of all, age difference is kinda weird lmao. Second, they dont rlly interact much outside literally the first couple of eps. But he was so soft for her, and i felt like they had so much unexplored history.

so i looked at fanfics cause i was wondering if ppl still ship it, then i liked the description of this one so i gave it a go.

Basically the premise is that vanya dates a much older man who seems to know a lot about her. And it was amazingly in character and just provided their characters some depth that u wouldnt find outside of a romantic relationship between them. (The implication of five pining while she doesnt know who he is, their missed chances when he time travelled, fives missed chances of living and having a 'normal' life bec of his own hubris, vanyas insecurity and being able to open up bec shes with someone whos known her since childhood). Its so sweet and thats how i was like, oh yep i can do so much more with these two, and what has kept me interested in drawing them etc.

2. My favourite things are the shippers cause i made some friends in the fandom who are super cool and supportive! I dont get super involved in fandoms and usually just watch from afar so finding people to talk to and muck around with in this tiny fandom is super cool 😭

Though thats not to say I havent come across some bad apples in this fandom and things that I dont like. I think thats the importance of carving out a place for yourself and ur friends in fandom tho.

Another thing I like about the ship itself, i just like the grumpy person whos soft for one person trope. Its so cute. I like all the little clues in canon on how their relationship as kids is quite warm, which is interesting cause five is basically the star student and he can be quite cold vs vanya who is the black sheep of the family.

I also like how five likes her powers even when she caused the apocalypse he spent the majority of his life in lol. Like its a popular hc that five is just a wife guy and i love that.

I see vanya as the type who has a lot of love to give, and she sometimes has unrealistic expectations of what her partner can give. Betrayal and lies really angers her, but also when her partner cannot meet her expectations of love she gets very upset bec its also an indication of how shes not good enough, or not loveable enough to be able to have this in the relationship (her insecurity means every failing always comes back to her, even if its out of her control).

I feel like five would be a level-headed person enough in the relationship to not be afraid to say 'vanya ur being stupid' (ie. the s2 confrontation lmao). Also, five's personality means she will never have to doubt his actions bec she knows hes the type who will not give u the moment of the day if hes not interested.

Not to mention they also have the whole apocalypse vs. saviour, hero/villain thing. Theres just a lot to explore!

3. I probably have several. But mostly I dont mind five being a dick to vanya bec first, even if the appeal is hes soft to her hes already kind of a dick in canon lmao. Also, vanya isnt a child. Shes grown and she can handle petty af things like five telling her shes not good at cooking lol. I also dont mind it cause I feel like people are getting too afraid to write... conflict for fear or portraying an abusive relationship or smth. Like, chill. Conflict is fine, resolving it is how u get a story. However in saying that, nobody should be obligated to write any way unless you want to! Fanfic is for comfort so if what your doing is making u happy then its good enough!

horrance which i also ship but i love the platonic and romantic relationship equally:

1. I came in tua in general not shipping anything so Im honestly not sure. I do remember someone doing a meta before s2 came out that was basically how ben acted weird when klaus summoned dave in s1 that made me go 👀 Otherwise, tua s2 rlly made me like them cause tua FED horrance shippers. Like..... the fact that klaus didnt want ben to leave him, and ben knows thats why he stayed 😢 or the fact that klaus was all over him for some reason???? Somebody also mentioned gay ben once and I resonate with that deeply. Like i get that jill exists but i resonate with gay ben deeply.

2. I love their bickering, theyre so cute together. I just like ben being angry bec hes self aware that hes got both shit and amazing taste. Shit bec he cant believes he likes Klaus (and also amazing also bec Klaus). I think the idea of them being kind of underdogs, theyre not rlly leader types and dont want to be, helps them bond together even in platonic horrance. They're both down to earth, and even tho they can annoy each other, they also know if they want a space to feel comfortable its with each other. Theyre not pressured by rivalry over leadership, or any sort of competition.

I love the idea that even tho ben is like klaus's ''conscience'', hes also down for chaos and bitchy. I feel like klaus rlly enabled that side of him, its not exactly a good thing but its p funny lol

3. I know some people think their dynamic is unhealthy but i dont care lol

alluther. So id say i dont ship this, mostly due to the fact that im not invested? Just like all tua ships so far I rlly came out not wanting anything but platonic relationships cause I feel tua doesnt do romance very well. With alluther, theyre so cute but im not super invested in either of their chars so they havent stuck for me. I appreciate seeing them and talking about them tho, and I'm def open to exploring them further.

1. I think tua canon romances are just so lackluster 😔 Idk who writes the romances but I was just like 'nice' but afterwards I dont really think about them. I love their dance scene and the message behind it! Otherwise, theyre sweet like most of the tua romances but im not super invested, same with all the non canon ships.

2. I really feel like tua needs to decide on what their relationship is. Like, just say its incest or not and stick with it 👀 Or if you wanna support it or not, just make up ur mind. I think I would've liked it better if I found the characters more interesting. Allison especially I feel like suffers from the fact that tua just doesn't want to make her ''mean''. They want to make her supportive and are less interested in making her flawed (ie. she should've had a conflict with Vanya in s2, but the writers didnt want to write the girls fighting which is stupid imo and not what that conflict is about).

In regards to Alluther, the scene where Allison gets annoyed at Luther for sleeping with someone else felt out of line. Like, how are you marrying other people and moving on but Luther isn't allowed to? But honestly, I don't mind if they actually just acknowledge it and make it a deliberate part of Allison's trait that Allison can expect a certain loyalty automatically from other people (which can tie in to her childhood being a star, and the rumour).

Luther is a big simp for Allison, which is sweet, but at the same time it would be nice to have him explore himself for a bit, and who he is outside of the academy. Then maybe they can rekindle their relationship again as new people and see where they go from there.

3. I don't hate them, but they're ok. I'm not super invested in them, just like all the tua canon romance. But I wouldn't mind making content for them if I were a bit more invested in their characters. I love their dance scene in s1 and I feel like its super a underrated portrayal of what their relationship is meant to be. I know no one talks about it but it's just such a great scene, and I'm pretty sure the choreographer was into interpretive dance? The scene had a lot of meaning that I don't see people dig around with.

Essentially I'm pretty sure the fairy lights are obviously a throwback to their childhood together, spending time outside of Reggie. So the dance scene kind of symbolized that pocket of space they made for each other in their life (even if theyre far away, or with other people, they will always have that space for each other).

The way they danced was more like playfighting than dancing, which means their relationship isn't sensual. It's more ''pure'', and romantic. Its basically two kids rekindling their love as adults. I also think this is a response to the incest, cause in s1 tua klaus literally said that 'thank god Regg is not their real father' right before Allison and Luther meet lmao. So its kinda like saying Allison x Luther isnt supposed to be 'ohh step sibling hot' but two people who experienced the same trauma as kids and finding comfort with each other (and rekindling that love after many years).

Cowboys and Sheriffs

Author’s note: ok wow an overwhelming amount of people said they wanted this fic so uhhh...here it is!! Tagging those of you who commented! 💜

Tagging: @littledancersun @mambofivehargreeves @sunsetcurves  @verified-dumbass @julie-and-the-phantoms-stan @jatpobsessedgirl @meangirlsx @letyourcolors @kikicalanmai

"Aha! Gotcha! Any last words?" Reggie holds his hands up in defense, cornered, unable to escape. He stares his enemy down, not wanting to give up his guard. 

"No need for last words when I won!" Reggie shouts. He immediately reaches into his back pocket and forms his fingers into a fake gun. He proceeds to shoot at his enemy in front of him, throwing a pillow in place of a bullet. The enemy is hit, flying backward onto the ground, crying out in surrender. 

"Ah! Mijo! I told you to stop playing dead and throwing pillows around the house! Someone could get hurt and the ghost could take it as an opportunity to haunt you!" Tía shouts, almost tripping over Carlos on the floor. Reggie felt his jaw drop slightly in hurt, he would never haunt anyone and the fact that Tía even felt like he could, showed how much she didn't know him. That's because she doesn't know you. Reggie heard Alex's annoying sarcasm in the back of his head. He chose to ignore it; it's what he does when Alex is there anyway. He would never haunt anyone, especially Carlos. Carlos stands up with a sigh. 

"Tía I told you-pillows are harmless! And there is no ghost! I never thought this day would come, but as the man of the house, I have to be honest. I was wrong and ghosts don't exist," Carlos explains, winking in Reggie's direction. Oh good, he's faking it. I really thought I was losing him there for a second. 

"Man of the house? Mijo what are you-" Carlos takes the opportunity to stop her from lecturing. 

"Uh you know, why don't you go ask dad? I think he was in the kitchen when I saw him!" Carlos guides Tía towards the kitchen. She protests, but goes with it nonetheless and leaves Carlos and Reggie to their own devices. Reggie makes himself visible to Carlos then. Yeah, they could do that now, well, sometimes. Reggie was still having trouble figuring out this newfound power of visibility. He couldn't do it all the time and when he id able to do it, it's not for very long. But, it's long enough to talk to Carlos. 

"Good save, little man. But, Why'd you have to go and put Ray in that position? Tía's gonna be lecturing him for awhile now and I wanted to stop by and see him before rehearsal!" Reggie explains. 

"Well it was either have us go through Tía's lecture or have it be dad and that was an easy decision. And I don't really get why you like hanging out with my dad so much. I mean he is a pretty cool dad, despite the times he tries to use modern slang like 'lit' and 'yeet', but otherwise he just kinda sits there and sifts through mail or whatever it is dads do. Besides, you can't even be visible in front of him because Julie hasn't told him about you being a ghost yet," Carlos responds.

Reggie suddenly feels like an anchor just tethered him to the bottom of the ocean. His feet feeling as though they were glued to the floor beneath him and he couldn't go anywhere, he couldn't even poof out if he tried. And suddenly, he could hear the echoing yells. The ones that fifteen and sixteen and seventeen-year-old Reggie knew oh so well. His parents. 

"Regg, you okay?" Carlos snaps him out of wherever he was. He blinks to get rid of the remnants of his memories. 

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm good. But, I gotta go get to practice! Sheriffs and Cowboys round 3 tomorrow though, right?" Reggie finger guns in Carlos' direction and Carlos' face lights up again. 

"Yeah, totally! But I'm the cowboy this time!" Carlos adds, a stern look on his face. Reggie frowns.

"What? Come on! You know cowboys are my thing!" He protests. Carlos raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms in defense. 

"Aren't you late for practice?" He interrogates. Reggie drops his jaw slightly, almost forgetting about practice completely. He poofs out quickly, but realizes that he hasn't fully solidified his accustomed position as cowboy. He poofs back into the living room briefly and adds

"We're not done here!"

~*~

Later that night, after practice seemed to have end, Carlos heads towards Julie's room. He may not know Reggie all that well and he might only be 12, but he knew something was bothering Reggie and he wanted to change that. Reggie's kinda become a big brother to Carlos. Julie is cool and all, for an older sister Carlos couldn't have asked for a better one, but it was nice having another guy in the house. Julie doesn't play Cowboys and Sheriffs with him or watch all the Star Wars movies or show the same enthusiasm over the third French Dip. Besides, if Reggie is all mopey or spaced-out or whatever, then he wouldn't play Cowboy and Sheriff with the amount of energy that it requires! 

Julie claims that the guys don't talk about their past that often, so she didn't know much about Reggie, but Luke had told her after an argument had erupted during practice one day and Reggie poofed out, that his parents used to argue a lot. They were close to divorcing apparently. She thinks that's why he likes hanging out with their dad all the time even though it can appear to be boring. 

"So then why haven't you told dad about them yet? That's what Reggie needs! The ability to talk to dad!" Carlos shouts.

"It's not that simple, Carlos. I mean yeah, dad's pretty cool, but do you think he'd be cool with three teenage boys living in our studio?!" Julie responds. Carlos stopped. He hated to admit it, but she was right. As much as he wanted Reggie to be able to talk to him, he didn't think that'd go over so well. 

"Fine, you got a point. But, there's gotta be some way Reggie can talk to dad. Please, how are we supposed to watch Star Wars if he keeps spacing out all the time?" Carlos pouts. Julie looks at her little brother. Her first instinct is to say "no". Reggie isn't that subtle at being a ghost, Tía still won't be in the living room by herself. But, She can't help, but think about how proud their mom would've been at how caring Carlos is. And because of this she says

"Ok, alright, I think I have a way,"

"Carlos! Little man! Where are you!" Reggie calls, searching the house for Carlos. He's been everywhere and he hasn't seen him, which is odd because it's 3:30 and Carlos should be home from school by now. Plus, they were supposed to meet at the usual spot to play their round of Cowboys and Sheriffs. 

"If this is because you have to be Sheriff again, I'm sorry! You can be the Cowboy this time!" He tries again. Suddenly, he feels all tingly and warped and that can only mean one thing. 

"Oh hey, Julie! Have you seen Carlos? We're supposed to play Cowboys and Sheriffs," He explains. Julie shakes her head and decides to keep the fact that Carlos can't actually hear him  unless he's visible to herself. 

"Yeah! He's in the kitchen," Julie motions Reggie to follow her and she leads him to the kitchen. When he enters, he sees Carlos sitting at the dinner table with Ray. They're chatting about something, but Reggie can't follow the conversation. Carlos and Julie exchange a look then and Julie motions him to follow her towards the table. 

"Hey, daaaad. Remember when you said you wanted to meet the band?" Julie questions. Reggie raises his eyebrow. 

"I do, but I think I recall you saying that they don't like to be seen or something along those lines," He answers, sitting back in his chair. Julie's jaw drops a bit from an unexpected answer. 

"Uh yeah, yeah I did say that didn't I? But, but, I think we may have figured out a way for you to meet them! Well, one of them anyway, Carlos!" Julie nods in Carlos' direction and Reggie has never felt more confused in his entire afterlife. Except, maybe when he, you know, brought back as a ghost. Because that was pretty confusing. Carlos stands up with a smile and hands Ray a pen. 

"Julie and I found this cool app that allows you to link this very pen to another. We sent one to the guys so whatever you write on your page, will show up on their page and what they write, will show up on yours," Carlos explains. Ray shakes his head, his eyebrows furrowed; Reggie does the same and Julie rolls her eyes with a smile. 

"You kids and your technology. I will never understand it. But, I'll try it," He responds. Reggies stops. Was he-supposed to go write to Ray? And if he is--what was he supposed to say? Hey I've been hanging out with you and you're a cool dad, I wish you were my dad? Even Reggie knew that wouldn't work! He turns to Julie for some kind of reaction; she nods and Reggie makes his way towards Ray and his notebook. Ray finishes writing his sentence and Reggie peers at the notebook. 

Hey Phantoms, this is Julie's dad. Can you read this? 

Reggie let out a small chuckle and picks up the pen. 

Loud and clear, Ray-Reggie 

"This technology is amazing it looks like it's writing itself! You kids are incredible!" Ray shouts, dramatically motioning towards the pen. Carlos walks towards his sister, exchanging a knowing smile. She puts her hand on his shoulder and he leans into her side. He watches Reggie and sees his smile widen every time her dad writes something. He sees him looking like a kid who has just opened the gift on Christmas Morning that they had been asking for all year. He sees him jump up in excitement at their dad's answers. 

"He likes Country music!" Reggie couldn't be happier. 

"I told you guys he'd like Country! I have to play him some of my Country stuff!" Carlos shakes his head and looks up at his sister. 

"I'm gonna have to find another Cowboy, aren't I?"
