Nov 5 Dancitron Movie Night - Round Planet

It took most of the night, but Prowl eventually managed to successfully participate in Whirl’s nonsense. He’s proud of himself.

He also managed to invite Arcee to hang out at some undefined point in the future.

Check out Prowl, veritable social butterfly.

It sounds like the kind of name that is a medic- and that is unfortunate, isn't it? NoodlesAtNight 8:12 pm [[Bongos are hardly part of the hunting process. That is soundtrack.]] Swervester 8:13 pm [snickers] FirstAidd 8:13 pm I mean.. I don't think it's unfortuante.. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:13 pm Yes, I purge it up later. *shrugs her wings* I have to purge up formaldehydes and formic acid anyways as a byproduct, so putting the hair with it makes it sting less. NoodlesAtNight 8:13 pm *Plays a few notes of the relevant song.* [[Horrible, awful, cold, icy snow.]] *Shudder.* FirstAidd 8:13 pm And it's all fine Sunstreaker. The thing hasn't.. reattached, right?

Greetings!* opatoes 8:17 pm /Turning around to nod at Prowl. He knows you!/ SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:17 pm ...Why does that fish have a single giant tooth on its face. SCProwl 8:17 pm *pings alternate* UnkillableJazz 8:18 pm Still can't believe this is the place that kept Megatron frozen for so long verdigrisprowl 8:18 pm *pings everyone who pings him, nods back at the bot that definitely isn't smokescreen.* FirstAidd 8:18 pm [waves at prowl] NoodlesAtNight 8:18 pm [[If there is any good thing about snow, it is that.']] *Nodding to Jazz* verdigrisprowl 8:18 pm *waves back* opatoes 8:18 pm That snow cat looks so soft...

He'd like to lean.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:23 pm Crunchy to eat. Chaifootsteps 8:23 pm *Arcee nods vaguely to both of them. Ideal method of communication right there.* verdigrisprowl 8:23 pm *he can absolutely lean.* SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:23 pm Although the cold hurts your teeth. chronosmith 8:23 pm *perks up and waves a claw at Arcee. And then proceeds to flop back all over the purple couch and take up all the room* opatoes 8:23 pm Oh! Prowl, did you get the opportunity to show your magnemite my puzzle? Was there a reaction? Should I make another?

I'm glad- it sounds like it is challenging enough to be enjoyable. I was not sure if I made it too easy. Do let me know if I should make another, or give that one a new battery, or anything. NoodlesAtNight 8:25 pm [[...Oh. Oh, dear.]] chronosmith 8:25 pm ...........*snickers* Chaifootsteps 8:25 pm ...I mean, if I could do that, I would too.

Damn- NoodlesAtNight 8:26 pm [[He hopes she does not care about leaving tracks to her den.]] SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:26 pm It's definitely not the worst place to incubate her hatchlings.

NoodlesAtNight 8:30 pm [[...He would keep Cybertron.]] chronosmith 8:30 pm It seems smart. I mean, we can sort of pantomime at each other. As much as a tire and someone with big unwieldy claws can pantomime. verdigrisprowl 8:31 pm ((...... that's the point???)) opatoes 8:31 pm ... Although, I do not want to lose my greenhouse. UnkillableJazz 8:31 pm ... Swervester 8:31 pm //yeah apparently he hates the series and thinks it undermines real documentaries and their points NoodlesAtNight 8:31 pm [[Yes.

SunstreakerCMO 8:31 pm ... UnkillableJazz 8:31 pm Keeping Cybertron wasn't really a thing that happened here SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:31 pm ((or that one with the mermaids)) Swervester 8:31 pm //dunno lmao OmicronTheIceQueen 8:32 pm *Icy shifts closer to watch, letting a hatchling fall off her back* NoodlesAtNight 8:32 pm *Looks at Jazz.* [[If your Cybertron is like the others he has seen in timelines like yours, likely you would not want it in its current state.]] opatoes 8:32 pm Prowl, could I see your magnemite dictionary? SunstreakerCMO 8:32 pm I am glad I do not have to be near that planet...aside from a few unfortunate times OmicronTheIceQueen 8:33 pm I like organic worlds like earth UnkillableJazz 8:33 pm Mine's in pieces verdigrisprowl 8:33 pm Sure. *pings* The grammar is... difficult. *half the grammar rules are "??! i give up"* NoodlesAtNight 8:33 pm [[As long as the volcanoes do not fire purple lava, it is fine, he thinks.]] opatoes 8:34 pm Thank you very much- It is interesting to see, though. I wonder how it may compare to other pokemon languages, or if other pokemon can communicate with their languages. SunstreakerCMO 8:34 pm Purple? Why would it be purple? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:34 pm Another fluffy thing. NoodlesAtNight 8:34 pm [[It wouldn't be, if all is well.]] SunstreakerCMO 8:34 pm ..........

It's delightful! opatoes 8:35 pm Pokemon- It is Pokemon. Do you know others with Pokemon? Have you tried introducing your magnemite to other non-magnemite pokemon? It may be interesting to see if the language is the same, or if it adjusts when interacting with other Pokemon. verdigrisprowl 8:36 pm No, I can't take it to meet any others. UnkillableJazz 8:36 pm I haven't got to try Earth's snow yet Chaifootsteps 8:36 pm The novelty wears off fast. OmicronTheIceQueen 8:36 pm Its fuuun SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:36 pm Is snow different between planets? opatoes 8:36 pm ... You cannot? Is there a reason for that? verdigrisprowl 8:36 pm Yes.

Of course I can. /His doorwings are perking up, flattered./ NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm *huffs at the handbag bit* chronosmith 9:33 pm Hey, it's worth it.

NoodlesAtNight 10:46 pm *He rather likes talking of these things seated as they are. It's being close to Prowl in both ways at once.*

[[Oh? Who are the definitely and the probablies? Anyone he has records on?]]

[[...Why not help them tour? You know the work best. Busy?]] *He can sympathize with that, if so.* verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm Uncharismatic. verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm The definitely is—Minus. The probablies are... *hold on. hooold on.* ...... *hooooold on.* ......... I forgot their names. NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[Hmph. A familiar accusation, and unimportant. You are not running for political office - are you?]] *He pauses here to wait for the answer to that before going on.* [[You do your work and you do it well. Anyone truly interested in it will care about your results. The rest is window tinting.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:52 pm [[...One moment. Minus. The little one you guarded for a while? With the]] *motions across his optics. Visor.* verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm I *am* trying to convince a bunch of inexperienced, brand new people that they want to have me as their boss. So yes, unfortunately, it /is/ a popularity contest. The window tinting will make the difference in whether or not our police force increases. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[Hm.]] *They can't all be as reasonable as him, he supposes. Younglings.* [[He could spread quality favorable rumors on your behalf.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:55 pm [[Perhaps whisper a few unpleasant things about your competitors?]] verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm Appreciated, but I'd rather they join because they've looked at the job and decided they want to do it. That's what I need—people who are drawn to the idea of protecting people. NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[And Minus is?]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm ... Yes. She is. In a—naive way, but—yes. ... I didn't try to recruit her or sway her. SHE sought ME out and asked for the position. *he feels like it's important soundwave knows that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *His face was drifting out of the intensely amused smile and into neutral curiosity. Now it's softening into a different kind of smile. Prowl won't have seen it much, but he often wears it behind his mask when playing with the Predacon hatchlings or watching Zori and Chimera go about their business.*

[[Of course she is, and did. She could hardly have asked for a better role model. No doubt your time directing things during the plague left an impression.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:01 pm [[It really was one of your finest moments, as far as things he has witnessed go.]] verdigrisprowl 11:01 pm Pff. *LOOKING ACROSS THE ROOM.* She wasn't even sapient then. She said she was inspired by a movie. verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm ... What about your work? I never hear about yours. You ask me questions about mine and then keep asking follow-up questions. NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[Did she, now? Ah, well. He stands by the last thing he said, at least.]] *And is not entirely convinced he's wrong about the rest, but he'll let that sit there.*

[[The nature of both himself and his work, he supposes. Let him think, now.]] verdigrisprowl 11:05 pm Clearly, I need to work on my reflexes so I can ask you questions first. NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Perhaps we'll play another question game some time? Those were quite enjoyable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm I like the sound of that. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[Good. You are a worthy opponent.]]

[[Our department decided not to involve itself with touring. We thought it more appropriate to see who developed the curiosity, intelligence, persistence, and cunning necessary to attempt investigating us on their own time, if any, and then approach them. Some things cannot be taught.]]

[[We were monitoring an odd development down in the depths of Metroplex's right calf. Melted and resolidified globs of metal kept appearing without explanation. We thought it might be a plague, at first.]] *He pauses.* [[Ravage noticed that they all smelled of the same mech and eventually tracked him down. It was a large warbuild who had heard of the budding timelines and thought he could replicate more of himself by melting pieces of his armor off.]] [[Hardly a citywide threat. Just a medical emergency. He was missing armor as far as a mech can safely get.]] verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Yes, I noticed that your department wasn't represented at the discussions on where the protoforms would be touring. I've no doubt you kept up with the debate anyway?

*HUFF.* I hope he's been treated? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[Naturally. We visited the locations of the discussions hours before any of you arrived. Incidentally, the mech in charge of sanitation has an optic for fancy jewelry, if ever you need that information. He mistook Zori's other form for a bracelet. You are not the only one with a thigh pocket.]]

[[And last he heard, the warbuild had been treated for heat-related damages and was on his second layer of armor reshaping and reattachment.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Did h— I— did he KIDNAP Zori? Whhhhy did you not feel the need to report that to the police? NoodlesAtNight 11:31 pm [[It isn't kidnapping if you know where someone is the entire time. Zori waited until they deposited him on their washroom sink to crawl away and bridge back.]] *Flicks a hand, which conflicts really badly with the deadly serious tone his thoughts take on now.* [[Besides. If it /had/ been a purposeful kidnapping, we would be having this conversation through a prison force field.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm No—I mean—did he steal him OFF of you, or—? NoodlesAtNight 11:33 pm [[Nothing so rude. He simply picked up a piece of lost jewelry who happened to have been taking a nap after making sure the discussion spots were safe and secure.]] *And now the squint is back.* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm [[He has an alternate who gets into all sorts of places as a small cassette player. It's... inspiring.]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm Ah. Good. An innocent mistake, then. *he can relax.* verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm The... short universe? NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm [[Yes, of course. No need to work yourself up so. Though he appreciates that you did.]] *A small kiss to Prowl's shoulder again.*

[[He sees you remember it too.]] verdigrisprowl 11:37 pm Hard not to remember it. *it's the first glimpse he's got of Unicron in all his awful, Earth's-crust-free glory* NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm *And the fate of his own alternate, unfortunately.* verdigrisprowl 11:38 pm *he's trying not to remember that* NoodlesAtNight 11:40 pm [[He assures you we have no interest in purple griffin bases or any of that.]] [[IIII is quite content with its blocky, nondescript building. Though red would suit it quite nicely, if only that didn't attract attention.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:41 pm [[...No. Scratch that. Too edible looking. We'd get nothing done for being hungry all day.]] verdigrisprowl 11:41 pm You could paint the inside red? NoodlesAtNight 11:42 pm *Appears to genuinely consider this* [[...Perhaps his office.]] [[Never mind. A satisfactory update, he hopes?]] verdigrisprowl 11:45 pm I'd be happy to hear more. *beat* ... But. I HAVE been sitting on your lap for an hour. NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[Not at all something he minds, you should know. But he sees your point. There are better places for you to sit.]] *Peep tongue.* verdigrisprowl 11:48 pm That's actually the opposite of where I was going with that. *this time the tongue isn't escaping.* NoodlesAtNight 11:49 pm [[He's not so sure about that.]]

*This time, the owner of said tongue has no intention of letting it do so. Not when there's a whole Prowl mouth right there just doing nothing but talking.* *...And not even that, now.* verdigrisprowl 11:50 pm *aaaand claimed. It's now his.* NoodlesAtNight 11:52 pm *Good. He'll dibs Prowl himself, stand up, and carry his claim upstairs with him for full and proper enjoyment.* verdigrisprowl 11:53 pm *oh no, it seems that he's fallen prey to a carnivorous plant* NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm *Just mind that it doesn't start singing.*

SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:13 pm Yes, I purge it up later. *shrugs her wings* I have to purge up formaldehydes and formic acid anyways as a byproduct, so putting the hair with it makes it sting less.

OmicronTheIceQueen 9:26 pm *highly likes this* chronosmith 9:27 pm Can't even hover or fly backwards. Pathetic. verdigrisprowl 9:27 pm That's the joke. Hundreds of dead birds and a screaming seeker.

But the challenge is bringing it to those positions. They are connected in a way so they cannot be completely disassembled separated, so you do not lose the beads. They are not the most complex, but they are nice to the touch. verdigrisprowl 9:29 pm ... Hm. *he wants one.* NoodlesAtNight 9:29 pm =Have not.= SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:29 pm *purrs along with Peddles, as long as the hatchling avoids squishing her too badly* chronosmith 9:29 pm Oh lord. radioactivibee 9:29 pm Doesn't it hurt their tongues? opatoes 9:29 pm ...

NoodlesAtNight 9:31 pm [[He thinks that was one of the first times he met you. The long tongue. It was disappointing to find out you did not have that as a permanent feature.

Of course I can. /His doorwings are perking up, flattered./ NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm *huffs at the handbag bit* chronosmith 9:33 pm Hey, it's worth it. Nothing boosts the self-confidence like standing on an alien world thinking, "That's me. I'M the deadliest handbag here."

SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:33 pm ((hey worm look it's seera)) opatoes 9:33 pm On the topic of construction puzzles, I think I have a few sets that connect together.

We can bridge there and look for the larger specimens.]] *Optics still bright, a smile still all over his faceplates.* verdigrisprowl 10:34 pm *stares at him.* .... Pfff-ff-ff. *he's hiding his face in soundwave's shoulder.* You're merciless. NoodlesAtNight 10:38 pm [[You say such sweet things.]] *Wrapping his arms around Prowl now.* [[But in seriousness, he would be pleased to indulge your curiosity on a personal level... after you tell him what you can of your work lately. He is curious about how you have been spending your time as captain.]] *The lightest of kisses to Prowl's shoulder.* [[Or on your own. Perhaps both. He confesses to simply being curious about you on a daily basis.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm *In other words: he wants to know how your days have been, Prowl. These things matter to him now.* verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm ... Same. With—your department and all. NoodlesAtNight 10:41 pm [[As you wish.]] [[But you first. He did ask first.]] verdigrisprowl 10:44 pm *well, this is hardly the position for such a discussion, but it's the position he's in and he doesn't want to move. he wraps his arms around Soundwave's waist.* For the past few weeks, a lot of my time has been turned toward the newbuilds touring. We've got one definitely, two probablies, and five maybes. ... I haven't been helping them tour, of course. But I've been—you know—coordinating. NoodlesAtNight 10:46 pm *He rather likes talking of these things seated as they are. It's being close to Prowl in both ways at once.*

[[Oh? Who are the definitely and the probablies? Anyone he has records on?]]

[[...Why not help them tour? You know the work best. Busy?]] *He can sympathize with that, if so.* verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm Uncharismatic. verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm The definitely is—Minus. The probablies are... *hold on. hooold on.* ...... *hooooold on.* ......... I forgot their names. NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[Hmph. A familiar accusation, and unimportant. You are not running for political office - are you?]] *He pauses here to wait for the answer to that before going on.* [[You do your work and you do it well. Anyone truly interested in it will care about your results. The rest is window tinting.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:52 pm [[...One moment. Minus. The little one you guarded for a while? With the]] *motions across his optics. Visor.* verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm I *am* trying to convince a bunch of inexperienced, brand new people that they want to have me as their boss. So yes, unfortunately, it /is/ a popularity contest. The window tinting will make the difference in whether or not our police force increases. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[Hm.]] *They can't all be as reasonable as him, he supposes. Younglings.* [[He could spread quality favorable rumors on your behalf.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:55 pm [[Perhaps whisper a few unpleasant things about your competitors?]] verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm Appreciated, but I'd rather they join because they've looked at the job and decided they want to do it. That's what I need—people who are drawn to the idea of protecting people. NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[And Minus is?]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm ... Yes. She is. In a—naive way, but—yes. ... I didn't try to recruit her or sway her. SHE sought ME out and asked for the position. *he feels like it's important soundwave knows that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *His face was drifting out of the intensely amused smile and into neutral curiosity. Now it's softening into a different kind of smile. Prowl won't have seen it much, but he often wears it behind his mask when playing with the Predacon hatchlings or watching Zori and Chimera go about their business.*

[[Of course she is, and did. She could hardly have asked for a better role model. No doubt your time directing things during the plague left an impression.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:01 pm [[It really was one of your finest moments, as far as things he has witnessed go.]] verdigrisprowl 11:01 pm Pff. *LOOKING ACROSS THE ROOM.* She wasn't even sapient then. She said she was inspired by a movie. verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm ... What about your work? I never hear about yours. You ask me questions about mine and then keep asking follow-up questions. NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[Did she, now? Ah, well. He stands by the last thing he said, at least.]] *And is not entirely convinced he's wrong about the rest, but he'll let that sit there.*

[[The nature of both himself and his work, he supposes. Let him think, now.]] verdigrisprowl 11:05 pm Clearly, I need to work on my reflexes so I can ask you questions first. NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Perhaps we'll play another question game some time? Those were quite enjoyable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm I like the sound of that. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[Good. You are a worthy opponent.]]

[[Our department decided not to involve itself with touring. We thought it more appropriate to see who developed the curiosity, intelligence, persistence, and cunning necessary to attempt investigating us on their own time, if any, and then approach them. Some things cannot be taught.]]

[[We were monitoring an odd development down in the depths of Metroplex's right calf. Melted and resolidified globs of metal kept appearing without explanation. We thought it might be a plague, at first.]] *He pauses.* [[Ravage noticed that they all smelled of the same mech and eventually tracked him down. It was a large warbuild who had heard of the budding timelines and thought he could replicate more of himself by melting pieces of his armor off.]] [[Hardly a citywide threat. Just a medical emergency. He was missing armor as far as a mech can safely get.]] verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Yes, I noticed that your department wasn't represented at the discussions on where the protoforms would be touring. I've no doubt you kept up with the debate anyway?

*HUFF.* I hope he's been treated? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[Naturally. We visited the locations of the discussions hours before any of you arrived. Incidentally, the mech in charge of sanitation has an optic for fancy jewelry, if ever you need that information. He mistook Zori's other form for a bracelet. You are not the only one with a thigh pocket.]]

[[And last he heard, the warbuild had been treated for heat-related damages and was on his second layer of armor reshaping and reattachment.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Did h— I— did he KIDNAP Zori? Whhhhy did you not feel the need to report that to the police? NoodlesAtNight 11:31 pm [[It isn't kidnapping if you know where someone is the entire time. Zori waited until they deposited him on their washroom sink to crawl away and bridge back.]] *Flicks a hand, which conflicts really badly with the deadly serious tone his thoughts take on now.* [[Besides. If it /had/ been a purposeful kidnapping, we would be having this conversation through a prison force field.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm No—I mean—did he steal him OFF of you, or—? NoodlesAtNight 11:33 pm [[Nothing so rude. He simply picked up a piece of lost jewelry who happened to have been taking a nap after making sure the discussion spots were safe and secure.]] *And now the squint is back.* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm [[He has an alternate who gets into all sorts of places as a small cassette player. It's... inspiring.]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm Ah. Good. An innocent mistake, then. *he can relax.* verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm The... short universe? NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm [[Yes, of course. No need to work yourself up so. Though he appreciates that you did.]] *A small kiss to Prowl's shoulder again.*

[[He sees you remember it too.]] verdigrisprowl 11:37 pm Hard not to remember it. *it's the first glimpse he's got of Unicron in all his awful, Earth's-crust-free glory* NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm *And the fate of his own alternate, unfortunately.* verdigrisprowl 11:38 pm *he's trying not to remember that* NoodlesAtNight 11:40 pm [[He assures you we have no interest in purple griffin bases or any of that.]] [[IIII is quite content with its blocky, nondescript building. Though red would suit it quite nicely, if only that didn't attract attention.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:41 pm [[...No. Scratch that. Too edible looking. We'd get nothing done for being hungry all day.]] verdigrisprowl 11:41 pm You could paint the inside red? NoodlesAtNight 11:42 pm *Appears to genuinely consider this* [[...Perhaps his office.]] [[Never mind. A satisfactory update, he hopes?]] verdigrisprowl 11:45 pm I'd be happy to hear more. *beat* ... But. I HAVE been sitting on your lap for an hour. NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[Not at all something he minds, you should know. But he sees your point. There are better places for you to sit.]] *Peep tongue.* verdigrisprowl 11:48 pm That's actually the opposite of where I was going with that. *this time the tongue isn't escaping.* NoodlesAtNight 11:49 pm [[He's not so sure about that.]]

*This time, the owner of said tongue has no intention of letting it do so. Not when there's a whole Prowl mouth right there just doing nothing but talking.* *...And not even that, now.* verdigrisprowl 11:50 pm *aaaand claimed. It's now his.* NoodlesAtNight 11:52 pm *Good. He'll dibs Prowl himself, stand up, and carry his claim upstairs with him for full and proper enjoyment.* verdigrisprowl 11:53 pm *oh no, it seems that he's fallen prey to a carnivorous plant* NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm *Just mind that it doesn't start singing.* verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm *well, nothing he can do about it now.* NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm *Nope. Just sit back, be eaten up, and go through a little death or three. What a world.*

DIIV (17.09.09)

tldr; I went to see DIIV in Bangkok last night, met the band after the show, got my records signed, took selfies with all of them, got a hug from Cole. So, basically. I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY.

I got to the venue around 6pm just in time before the first band started playing and there were 4 bands before DIIV went on the stage at 10pm. I was so glad I got the barricade because I have been listening to them religiously for more than 5 years and to just see them up close was really a dream comes true. To be honest, I couldn’t have dreamt of seeing them playing in Thailand, like ever, let alone meeting them. So, anyway, the show was amazing! They played all the songs I’ve been wanting to hear live for so long perfectly and some unexpected ones, too.

Because I wasn’t sure if i was gonna get to meet them, I asked the staff I knew if she could take the album covers that I brought and get the band to sign them and she said yes. After the show, the band were just there hanging out all over the places like they were in no rush to go anywhere and there’s a lot of people who either want their stuffs signed or a photo and I was one of them.

(There’s gonna be a lot of photos from this point on including all my dark and terrible photos with them lmfao)

So, the staff brought both of my records back to me but only Cole and Devin signed the Is The Is Are album. Cole even wrote the little ( Hi ) for me adfgdhsfdjhg so fucking cute. There was no one around Devin so i just went to him. He was sitting, chatting with their manager (I think?) and so i asked if he could sign my records and he has this water bottle in his hand so he asked me to hold it for him lmao then he saw that he’s already signed it but i was like yeah but not on Oshin! So, he laughed and then carefully drew it for me without his name. Then, I asked if i could have a photo with him and he’s like “of course!” We took two :)

Then, when I said thank you to him I started to walk away but he said “hey!” and I was like what? and he said he didn’t sign his name yet so he did and I told him tysm and he’s like “you’re very welcome ;)”. To be so awfully honest, he was a lot nicer and funnier than i expected him to be lmao sorry.

Then I went to Tom who came to play the drums for the band because Ben couldn’t make it. Tom who?

This Tom! fucking Thomas Gardner of Beach Fossils jesus christ! I didn’t get a chance to go see them when they were here because i was an idiot and i still regret it to this very day. Anyway, because I had nothing else with me, I asked him to sign the Is The Is Are album and the conversation went like this

Tom: I’m not a part of this album.

Me: I know but you’re here so it’s ok.

Tom: I didn’t make this.

me: I know.

Tom: I had no contribution whatsoever on this record

Me: I KNOW!

Then, he laughed and said “just so you know.” and signed it for me lmfaoooooo.

I took pictures with him then said thanks then went to Colin next. Colin immediately said “Weren’t you in front of me when we were playing?” and i was like yeah then he smiled and signed the album for me “NICE EYEBROWS - COLIN” lmao then we took photos.

and he said “see? nice eyebrows.” lmaooooooo what a man.

Then, I went to Mr. DIIV himself holy shit i was so nervous that i didn’t even see that there was a line of people waiting to take photos with him so i unintentionally cut them and asked him to sign the Oshin album that he hasn’t signed yet. He did that then i realized what I just did so i apologized to all the people there and they were cool about it.

Because there was a lot of people in line, I went to Andrew who has been wearing this ridiculous red hat all day lol. He signed Oshin first then when he saw Is The Is Are he looked back at Oshin and he was like “WOW! you’ve got some good ones from Devin!”

and I was like I knowwwwww and he was like “now i feel pressured (laughs)” lmaooooo he was so nice like really really nice and then i asked him for a pic.

Then, I went back to see Cole because there’s not a lot of people now and he took 3 photos with me omfg

I thanked him and walked away to check the photos but they turned out all dark and blurry because he wouldn’t stop moving like he changed the pose a lot lmfao so I went to him and said “my photos are bad because I suck” and he laughed like a little kid jsfabhjdgkklj he’s so adorbs oh my goD then we took one more selfie.

Because i wasn’t sure if it’s gonna come out all right, I asked my friend to take one for me, too. Cole was like “let’s act like we’re girlfriends” lmfao

Then, I asked him for a hug and he’s like “that’s the first time someone’s asked me today :(” and i got nervous then he hugged me and said “maybe because i’m so sweaty.” and i said “yeah you are.” then he laughed oh my sweet lord and he squeezed me i was going to kms dfkjaghkgk

This was taken after he let go of me. I looked like shit but also very happy and he’s very cute so i’m in love with this one.

My friend and I went to take one last photo then I said goodbyes to all the people i knew there then went home.

All in all, I am very very happy. You guys have no idea how much I love DIIV and Zachary Cole Smith himself. I know he’s made some very bad choices in the past but hey who hasn’t? Seeing this band in Thailand was a dream come true just like I said but seeing Cole’s face lit up when he saw the crowd when he first got up on the stage and he said “Wow i didn’t expect a lot of people would come see us. Thank you.” made me way happier than what I’ve been feeling these past few months and maybe the happiest I have felt in a very long time.

It’s fair to say that this was one of the best day of my life and I got everything I never expected to get and more from the guys I have never imagined seeing in real life nor having the chance to talk to.

I haven’t been able to stop smiling yet and I hope i remember this feeling forever.
