You dig okay, baby

i like mar-bit :)

Idk they’ve got great chemistry, they’re both fun characters, hell there’s even plenty of angst potential lol. They’re the only ship I liked back when I first read the book, almost two years ago now? I dunno why it’s taken me so long to draw/write anything for them, I like them a lot

and fyi she totally gave him her real number

(I tried to imitate and/or refine the style I used in my og stevepop post? Idk I liked that style, it’s not my usual- but it’s really fun to do honestly)

Since Billy Joel is trending now, here are my favorites in no particular order:

New York man is fucking pissed

Why you shouldn't marry right out of high school

Don't trust anyone, not even yourself your lover

Tied with Alicia Keys for "Most Overplayed song at any given NYC sports game" award

Barbershop quartet serenades you so sweetly under the moonlight

Never live in Hackensack, New Jersey

Hey remember the Vietnam War? Yeah that was bad.

I wanna have sex with a Catholic girl

I wanna have sex with an Upper East Side girl

Solo by The Artful Dodger from the hit 1830's bestseller Oliver Twist

Shit's fucked

The only reason I know about the existence of Wheeling, West Virginia

"Hey, Billi! Looks to me like you're on the WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVER"

I'm rewatching the Amy Schumer/Bill Hader romcom Trainwreck and I know Amy Schumer is not popular on here but this movie holds up. And not just because "That's like the worst Billy Joel song. Billy Joel probably hates that song." "Well, he shouldn't. It's great." is the most realistic depiction of the average conversation about Billy Joel ever put to film.

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel

About Billy Joel:

William Martin Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter and pianist. Commonly nicknamed the "Piano Man" after his signature 1973 song, Joel has had a successful career as a solo artist since the 1970s. From 1971 to 1993, he released 12 studio albums spanning the genres of pop and rock, and in 2001 released a one-off studio album of classical compositions. Joel is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States, with over 160 million records sold worldwide. His 1985 compilation album, Greatest Hits – Volume I & Volume II, is one of the best-selling albums in the United States.

About Uptown Girl:

“Uptown Girl” is a Billy Joel classic that can be found on 1983’s An Innocent Man. Inspired by Frankie Valli’s “Rag Doll,” its lyrics find a “downtown boy” (lower class) waxing poetic – in his own way – for a girl from a classier upbringing.

The song was written about Joel’s girlfriend at the time, model Elle Macpherson. However, his soon-to-be wife Christie Brinkley is the one who appeared in the song’s music video.

It was internationally successful, reaching the top 20 in eight countries including a #3 peak in the US, and #1 in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In the UK, it stayed at the top for five weeks, was the second biggest selling single of the year, and sold over a million copies. Later, it was ranked the 19th biggest selling single of the 1980s in the UK and in 1988, Rolling Stone ranked “Uptown Girl” #99 on their list of the 100 most important singles of the period 1963-1988.
