"Hey Mozart, what kinds of things do you draw?"

Occasionally good, mostly shitposting, and apparently I redesigned Piano to be a judgmental goth.

And here's one time I drew Ruby-Spears Bass + Piano + Zero:

I've been drawing since I was 8 years old I'm very serious.

-

relationships and such! with photos!

best friends: dylan kussman, allelon ruggiero, alexandra powers, and kimya dawson

"do i recognise more of these people?" again, probably! dylan, al, and alex were all in dead poets society, and kimya is a musician best known for her indie songs, some featured in the movie juno!

-

my career! (oh good lord)

writing based - undedicated musings

(1986-1993)

alright so this is a bit hard to explain, bear with me. undedicated musings is an anonymous newsletter-based poetry... publication? run by me, under the pen name 'chartreuse', and the whole shtick is that i write poetry, love letters, and whatever else to the person i'll end up spending my life with, but the recipient of said writings is completely unknown, even to me, so im kinda just writing to nobody. until! i actually set my eyes on someone (obviously rsl) and then the writings start to get a bit more specific and yearn-y and personal. since the recipient is anonymous, all the writings are written for a 'vermillion'. both chartreuse and vermillion's identities are revealed when we get married in 1993. and no, rsl doesn't know that i'm chartreuse, nobody does until i reveal myself. i think its kinda cool :3

film based - dead poet's society

(1988-1989)

so for starters, i was part of the crew that worked on the set of dead poets society, now all my friends (except kimya, her and i become friends in the late 90s) make sense! my actual job on set is kind of a vague be-here-and-do-a-bit-of-everything type deal, so there's no set title beyond "assistant to lead" even tho it's essentially government assigned 'friendship' LMAO. but! me and the cast get on like a house on fire, so i kinda just get to tag along on their wacky teenage-ish boy adventures. this totally does not stem from a desire to be part of a teenage boy friend group, and i am, in fact, totally cisgender. i am also lying. anyway, without going into too much detail, me and my s/o-not-yet-s/o (will be referring to him as rsl from this point on) sorta have a painstakingly long will they wont they type deal, because i guess i like torturing myself. we meet a day before all the actual film stuff starts just as a sort of preliminary get to know eachother because you'll be in close proximity VERY often for months. thats some time in march - june-ish? of 1988 (i shift to my dr the day before!) and we don't actually get together until june of 1989. so.

also! some changes to the movie because i can make those: knox overstreet is now played by matthew lillard instead of josh charles, because josh charles is a fucking zionist and i dont want to associate with him in any reality! knox also isnt a b plot to the movie at all, instead focusing on meeks and pitts because i find them much more interesting! and also knox's b plot is creepy as hell! also, the racism against natives (read this!) is completely gone! no thanks!

music based - MAURZI

(1988-2004 technically)

strap in boys because this is the main event of this dr and the lore is VAST. MAURZI (must be spelled in all caps, like MF DOOM) is a sort of musical person/character i've made to tell the story of via a series of albums. i release my first single in october of 1988 titled "lunarian", which is a fun little song about a being from the moon arriving on earth and having some inter-planetary culture shock. and thats the only song i've actually planned! i release 6 total albums that map out the MAURZI storyline kinda

- MAURZI (1989)

- GONE TO SHIT! (1991)

- Charmed (1992)

- I found Him in Santa Barbara (1995)

- Waterworks (1998)

- also bibliography (2004) but those are released as songs By Me and not MAURZI, just released under the same artist. MAURZI storyline ends with Waterworks.

now here's where you get the very extensive MAURZI lore. MAURZI is a sort of alternate-universe representation of me, where in i'm much more famous than i actually am in my dr, and i am absolutely RUINED by my fame in a fuck ton of ways. each album is a different section of her life so i'll explain it album by album. also for reference, in my dr capitalism/ currency isnt a thing, but in the MAURZI... verse? it is. because i like anti capitalist art! same goes for most other media im in/ participate in, actually. MAURZI uses she/her pronouns btw, i dont.

MAURZI - my self-titled album is about as close and personal to my life as i'll get, which an average amount because i still throw in some songs about shit that i have not at all done/ experienced. (ex. songs about cheating, toxic relationships, and things along those lines. thankfully ive had a mostly healthy relationship with relationships! except that one time!) MAURZI is new to the music scene but she's here to make some lovely tunes to help process some stuff! artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): sarah kinsley, dodie, jeff buckley, tv girl, mitski, and peach pit.

GONE TO SHIT! - MAURZI's first album blew the fuck up! now she's thrown into the midst of dealing with an incomprehensible amount of attention on her at all times, which she was absolutely not prepared for. what does she do to cope? sex drugs and rock n roll, baby! she also gets addicted to 2 outta those 3 things! can you guess which ones?? now, obviously, this album is entirely fictional and is only tangentially inspired by some life events, heavy emphasis on the tangentially. artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): the nonstick pans, panic! at the disco, forest, david bowie, chappel roan, and king gizzard & the lizard wizard.

Charmed - the love song album! this is basically comprised of songs i sorta wrote about rsl, but changed up a fuck ton because i wrote them while i was pining and did Not want him to knkw who they were about. in terms of MAURZI stuff, she meets someone just after deciding that she's gotta clean up her act if she wants to exist healthily. recovering alongside a loved one and them being a motivator for recovery! now i should specify here that MAURZI's s/o is not the same as mine, and is entirely gender neutral/ doesn't even have a canon(?) human appearance at all. they're named Vermillion because we love a callback! artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): the smiths, siouxsie and the banshees, james blake, queen, laufey, and her's.

I found Him in Santa Barbara - yknow how when a banana ripens too much and it starts to tuen brown? yeah imagine that logic but applied to recovery, i guess. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO REITERATE THAT MAURZI AND I ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND MAURZI IS JUST A CHARACTER. essentially MAURZI had a spiritual awakening and "found god." but what that ACTUALLY means is that she started viewing vermillion as a sort of god? but she's keeping it on the down low (making an album about it) because she doesn't want vermillion to thing she's CRINGE. themes of loving a god, being IN love with a god, being in lust with a god, temporarily thinking youre a god? stuff along those lines. its a bit intense, VERY experimental and.. heavy? both in themes and in musical style for some portions. this is my fav album out of all of them if you couldnt tell. artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): sleep token, WILLOW, type o negative, slipknot, lemon demon (specifically songs off spirit phone), hozier, violent vira, pierce the veil, gorillaz kinda, bjork, kate bush, deftones, destroy boys, and rammstein probably.

Waterworks - so yknow how MAURZI was having a whole trouble with god moment? yeah well thats gone now, no i haven't figured out how that'll work narratively, thats for me to figure out in like 10 years from now (now being 1988, naturally.) we've returned to our self-titled roots in terms of musical style! now we've just got some fun themes of trauma and such! and then that's the and of MAURZI as a character story wise, as i said earlier the album after this one is just a Me album. same artist inspo as self titled!

and guess what! music lore isnt even fuckin done! my music in this dr is a multiverse in itself goddamn. so basically the album covers for each album tell a completely seperate story about a completely seperate alter ego/ character/ whatever named Moonzi. name given by my audience (which is my excuse for coming up with such a shitty name and then keeping it.) the story of moonzi, without going into too much detail because i dont wanna type it all out, is a sci-fi type story about a being from the moon (lunarian callback!) on a quest to bring this space artifact back to its original place, basically. a bit more on it later, emphasis on a bit. also! each album cover is drawn by a different artist, and each album artist animates one official music video off their respective album, just cuz i like art and stuff! those music videos kinda follow the moonzi storyline loosely, but incorporate MAURZI elements. is this confusing? hope not. drawings!

writing based - novels

can you believe im still not done? like not even close? certified yapper. anyway! my 3 fiction novels (Manchester, NH - 1991, Curator Rye, 1997, Sand Dollars + Pearls - 2008) are about my ocs basically! thats it really, i dont feel the need to share the plots of those tbh.

writing based - autobiographies

two? yep! one is a fictional autobiography about MAURZI (MAURZI - 1999) and one is a non fictional autobiography about me (Radio Free Marley - 2012.) take a shot every time i say MAURZI and you will need to get your stomach pumped. she just. she means a lot to me :3

film based - doctor who

(1994-1999)*

*these dates are when im on the show btw, not its total runtime, same applies to other cr existing shows.

big disclaimer: never seen doctor who. dont know the plot, dont know which doctor i'm gonna be, i just wanna be in it.

so! my version of the doctor is kinda weird. its one doctor, but played by two people, but theyre one person. we're both the doctor. and by we i mean both me and rsl, obviously. the viewer sees the doctor as two different people, but NOBODY ELSE IN THE DAMN SHOW besides our little companion buddy guy (played by my cr friend fish!) SEES, ACKNOWLEDGES, OR IS ABLE TO VIEW THE DOCTOR AS TWO PEOPLE. its really complicated and i really did not have to make it that way, but its cool to me so i really dont care. also we're breakjng the doctor who cycle of boring suit and tie (this is NOT about you 15 <3) and going steampunk-esque. again, cuz i wanna.

film based - house md

(2005 - 2010)

marley veitch be in a show without rsl challenge (failed.) i play a character i made up named Nanette Amesbury who is essentially wilson's first ex wife. does he have a canon first ex wife? think so (i actually havent finished house oops.) do i care? you can take a guess. nanette (nicknamed ninny - which im well aware means dumb) is the director of the pediatrics department at princeton plainsboro and she kinda has a fwb type deal with wilson before figuring out shes a lesbian, having a crush on cuddy, being besties with kutner, then leaving the show in season 6. (zeth if ur reading this yes i made her show up for more than 2 seconds she just. means so much to me. also i want cudbury content.) im also a writer for the show so im there for its entire run time :3 i really like this show :3

film based - moonzi

(2016)

YEAHHHHH BABY SHES BACK!!! moonzi's storyline gets adapted into an adult swim animated tv show! i do screenwriting, stiryboarding, and voice acting! style wise, think teen titans mixed with bojack horseman mixed with archer. sick space visuals also!

comedy based - dying art

(2020)

idk i wanted to do a standup special! dunno what it's about. ill leave that up to future me to decide because this isn't happening for 32 damn years and i really just dont wanna come up with a standup special rn.

film based - radio free marley

(whenever)

i wanted a biopic, but i wanted it to be both about me and MAURZI, and how points in my life influenced or inspire songwriting. so the episode structure is like

ep 1: about me, point in my life

ep 2: about MAURZI, point in her life thats sorta related but not entirely to the events in ep 1

ep 3: about me, point in my life

ep 4: about MAURZI, point in her life thats sorta related but not entirely to the events in ep 3

ep 5: you get the idea

and then this goes on for 12 episodes and ends with the MAURZI story wrapping up and with me sorta retiring kinda. dont know when it'll be made, probably at some point in my 60s or whatever. im permashifting if you couldnt tell btw.

and thats it! after all this im just kinda existing and living life and whatever else. so with that outta the way i'll list some fun facts and i'll FINALLY BE DONE JESUS CHRIST IVE BEEN WRITING THIS FOR LIKE 3 HOURS.

- i live in new york city! manhattan to be specific

- i also have a lake house in new hampshire because i Need to be in a rural area at some points

- my house's interior design is very 70s themed and its WHIMSICAL AND FUN! maximalism, whimsigoth, nooks and crannys to be in, fun and varied seating options, conversation pit, loft bedroom, whole 9 yards. ive also got a gazebo on my roof!

- i have 2 siblings in my dr (not here im an only child in my cr womp womp) named lia and monty, theyre my best friends in my cr!

- ive also got a cat! she's a ragdoll kitty named yvonne, shes a sweetheart!

- i scripted out light pollution so the sky is all pretty at night, highly recommend you do the same

- im in STOMP at one point, dont know or care when, i just wanna be in it

- robin williams........... he is a father figure to me................ sniff sob

- yes i scripted out his death i simply cannot deal with that

- PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND WALKABLE SOCIETY!!!!! NO MORE CAR BASED US SOCIEY WOOOO!!!

- i cant fucking believe i havent mentioned this yet but im scottish?? im not scottish in my cr i was just thinking about david tennant when i was forming the dr idea back in january and it stuck. MAURZI is american tho

- hilson is canon in my dr LMAOAOOA

- thats all i got

sweet lord in heaven above if you've read this whole thing im giving u a big kiss. this is so long and i really dont wanna proofread it so im not gonna, excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes.

i'd tell you how much i absolutely love this musical. id tell you how im its biggest fan possibly ever, and i curse myself every day for not being able to see it. id tell you about my signed playbill of it being one of my most prized possessions and i used to sleep with it by my side. id tell you how the bootleg is one of my favorite things ever, and how many times ive listened to it, making timestamps for each song and even uploading a full version of it for myself to youtube. id tell you how its my third favorite musical of all time. id tell you how i didnt even know ben fankhauser until i found out about this musical and i dont think i could love any of his roles more than man 2. id tell you how i wrote my own self sustaining fanfiction for it. id tell you how i made up names for them. id tell you about my dozens of fanart for it, and how other man used to be muscle memory to draw, so whenever id go to draw something hed be the first thing to warmup. id tell you how i know just about every lyric of every song. id tell you how when i do home-alone theater karaoke, this musical is the first one i go to everytime. id tell you how literally any role in this would be my dream. id tell you how underrated its representation is, showing the exploitation of women in the media, and has such a good message. id tell you about how during silent reading time in class, id reread the script for this show over and over while everyone else pulled out icebreaker and stuff. id tell you how i have consumed every advertisement for this show ever. id tell you how i would go through every review article, and if they said anything even remotely bad about it, id find a way to counter it. id tell you how i used to go through every 2 pixel picture and video of the set (which is amazing by the way. im obsessed with it) and made a list of every single paper i could make out, how they asked the crew to write down musicals on sticky notes for it, and how i analyzed each of their sides of the apartment. id tell you how id do anything to see the original cast of this in person. id tell you about other mans bpd coding. id tell you about how i started to copy the mannerisms of these characters and actors and put myself in physical distress sometimes because it made me feel like them a little bit gulp thats not like the kind of physical distress youre probably thinking of btw i meant id like run laps of long distances because hearing myself breathe made me think of other man. id tell you how i dont think anyone could ever be more these characters than these actors. id tell you how i would just listen to the bass/piano/drums (all isolated) of the songs and learn the piano by ear. id tell you about the freaking haarrrmoonieeess in it. id tell you how cute and . cool the lighting is. id tell you how i much of the choreography i had(/have) memorized. id tell you how many times ive quoted this show (women in science. and, for a little bit of backstage stuff, nothing i will be woorrking.) id tell you how ive gone through all of their social media posts and every post theyre tagged in as well. id tell you about how i dedicated an account to it until i got locked out lmao?? id tell you how i may or may not have genuinely cried over this musical so many times. id tell you how i made floor plans for the flourishing pig (the hottest vegan nightspot in the meatpacking district) ((i got rid of them tho my bad lmaooo)). id tell you how even perfume just reminds me of this show now. id tell you how i have forced everyone i know at gunpoint to hear this musical at least once. id tell you about the complexity of man 2 and other mans relationship and nothing wouldve happened if they had just kissed sighh (/j). i would tell you about this show. id tell you about this. id tell you about. id tell you. id tell. id. i. .

...but ill probably just say "yeah its kinda cool"

2023 Recap - Songs from (QL) Dramas

I've been tagged by @troubled-mind to make a list of my favorites songs from this year's QL dramas (thank you so much 💕) and of course I can't resist. I liked a lot of music from shows this year, which is great but made the selection harder so it will be a little long, I hope you'll forgive me.

OST I've been milking in full

I don't very often go through full OST unless someone does a background music playlist i can put on (Like this one for La Pluie by troubled-mind, and this one for To Sir, With Love for example) but two stood out for me this year.

My School President OST - I knew in advance I would enjoy a musical show, and I have to say I was NOT disappointed. My favorite though is ฟัง by Fourth, Ford, Satang, Winny, and the fantastic Pijika Jittaputta. Have a go at the original too!

Unintentional Love Story OST - This one came late this year for me, but i have been listening to the whole thing again and again. My favorite is Beautiful Day by Cha Seowon. I really enjoy his voice a LOT, and I'm weak for a nice, so soft it's even a little mushy love ballad.

With those two out of the way, let's go through the list country by country I think.

From Thailand 🇹🇭

ลางสังหรณ์ by Teng Tachaya from The Sign

This one is just a banger! It literally rocks, and I keep belting out the chorus every single time i listen to it. I love everything about it, even the spoken words. Also, not music related, but that costume!!

เงา by Lazyloxy from Shadow

I like Lazyloxy's voice a lot, as well as the rhythm/bass line (?) during the verses. There is an edge in that song that fits the show very well, too.

พรุ่งนี้ by Ford Arun from Moonlight Chicken

Ford's voice, do I need to say more? Tbh I got a little teary the first (ten) time(s) I listen to it.This ballad is so very touching, it's gentle and hopeful, I can never tire of it.

Honorable mentions >

รักคุณยิ่งกว่าใคร by NuNew's cover of Got Jakraphan from Cutie Pie 2. I loved this one so much I got myself a video editor so I could post it there. Only honorable because it's a cover, but it got me into luk thung so it deserves to be here.

เพลง รักนี้มากับดวง by Bmine & Near from Lucky My Love. This one is just because it's goddamn cute, sweet and peppy, and it makes me smile and bop my head. Sometimes I don't ask for more.

From Japan 🇯🇵

U&I by Hi-Fi Unicorn from Kimi ni wa todokanai

It's just a perfectly crafted pop song imo. It's cute, fresh and lively, fitting the show perfectly too. Since it came out, you can catch me humming "kimi ni waaa todokanai hmm hmm hmm" all day, every day, so it deserves its place on the list!

Yoruwazura by osage feat Ishino Riko from Kimi to nara koi wo shite mite mo

This one got me the second Ishino Riko started singing. The harmonies between the two are SO good! I really like the guitar in this one, and the little claps in the background. It's also really easy to hum so it stays with me a lot.

Bitter by Royce from Utsukushii Kare season 2

The contrast between the energy of the melody and the nearly bored sound of the voice (the singer sounds like their mouth does not open fully) works reaaally well for me. It's catchy and fun, and well, the lyrics are just so perfectly Hira...

ふたたび Futatabi by HIROBA & Otsuka Ai from Bokura no micro na shuumatsu

I was very surprised when I saw it was a feat with Otsuka Ai (who I only knew for her sugary pop in early 2000). The melancholy of the lyrics and the melody are beautiful, I am a huge fan of the way their voices mesh together, and I can't resist a piano + violins combo like that.

Honorable mention > Go Sign by Billy Laurent from Ameiro Paradox. The little piano, the rhythm, that chorus, it makes me shake my ass every single time.

From Taiwan 🇹🇼

'痛苦擁抱 (Painful Hug) by Ozone from Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

(I won't hear anything about technicality and it being a QL show or not =3) Had not realized it was from a boy group before checking the clip for this list. I like the way the melody rises for the chorus, their voices are pleasant, and it carries both power and some sort of melancholy that reminds me very much of Pu Yiyong.

Honorable mention > Come With Me by K6 from Marry My Dead Body. The whole OST of that movie is great, but I somehow got completely obsessed by this one from the gym scene at the start. It also features Austin Lin (I think as backup on the chorus).

From Korea 🇰🇷

IoU by UTOPI from The New Employee

It's a sweet, simple one that never fails to put me in a good mood, and sometimes that's enough to listen to a song non stop over months =3

Natural by Young K from A Breeze of Love

This one is also sunny, light and joyful. I like the guitars and I am especially fond of Young K's voice - it got me looking into him which I do not regret. A nice little surprise for the end of the year.

Thank you if you made it all the way through it, otherwise...

Tl;dr you can find all songs under this playlist (´꒳`)♡

i'm not sure who would have fun doing this, maybe @iguessitsjustme if you fancy it? Anyone who see this and want to do it, please tag me so I can have a look at your faves! <3

[solitaryandwandering]

when you get this you have to answer with 5 of your fav songs and then tag your mutuals to do the same :) (no pressure!)

Tagged by @wen-kexing-apologist and (I think?) @twig-tea, thanks babes!

I can never conjure up favorite songs in mid-air, it feels wrong every time and I listen to too much music!! So I'll do this knowing I'll inevitably leave out songs I love. I'm putting my Spotify January 2024 playlist on shuffle (I make one every month of songs I'm vibing with) and letting that choose for me.

1 - (Intro) Let's Hope Heteros Fail, Learn, and Retire by Alice Longyu Gao

I mean, relatable. (Vid has full version and is extremely bizarre, enjoy!) My bro @internetaddict2 introduced me to this and I just love how balls-to-the-wall, unapologetically weird it is, yet it still actually has a pretty neat melody?! Wild.

2 - เป็นไรมั้ย (Would you mind?) by Daou Pittaya

Nothing about this song is earth-shattering (pretty standard, to be honest), but I do really like Daou's voice. :) It's just a really pleasant song to throw on in the background. Also was not expecting Offroad to show up in the music video out of nowhere lmfao. It's nice to see Daou unencumbered by an unfortunate wig.

3 - Deep Deep Sleep by WOODZ

Talk about a singer's voice I love! I am so tempted to throw ten more songs of his on here. Another of his songs on my playlist this month, BEHIND, is off his recent single album AMNESIA which is altogether fucking phenomenal. I LOVE how he uses his distinctive voice here, soulful and controlled and ethereal, to match the mood of the song. They use a filter to great effect. It feels like you're flying over water, through the fog, suspended by gorgeous synths, a really satisfying bass, dreamy guitar, and piano. I love this whole EP, actually, and this is the opener!!

4 - You First (Re: Remi Wolf), originally by Paramore

Another one my brother introduced me to. A cover of a song Paramore commissioned for their most recent album, Remi Wolf SLAAAAAYS IT. Every time I listen to this I feel like jumping up and down it's so good!!!!!!! She was evil for this! Amazing interpretation, no notes. Can you tell I really like rock music?

5 - Replay by Planet 1999

I just love this little song. It's so fun, so beautiful, so poppy. It's a bit shoegazy and hypnotic. Overall manages to be both nostalgic and futuristic which is exactly the vibe I love! I can play this song on a loop without getting sick of it which is a pretty major feat for me, honestly. I tend to hate repeating music, it grates on my nerves. I need variety!

Bonus!! Because I felt bad for leaving these out (and I had to stop myself from adding ten more so)

I by TAEYEON and Verbal Jint

Taeyeon's voice, man... and Verbal Jint's verse is actually pretty good, as expected from him.

Who Knows by WOODZ

I had to. My favorite off this album.

Feelin' Good (feat. Jiselle) by PARK WOO JIN

Yeah, it's not the best ever, but I really enjoy Park Woo Jin's flow here. And Jiselle's voice is a great addition!

I dunno who else has done this? So I'll just tag @waitmyturtles :) But if you see this and want to do it, let me know and tag me in your post!

I also like trying to balance those Cadbury chocolate eggs so they're standing up.

Languages I am currently learning: ASL (American Sign Language), Esperanto (on Duolingo), and Italian (also on Duolingo)

Lol the capitalization on literally everything original except my writing is so wack, sorry but also not sorry. Also sometimes I forget to tag all my original posts and then they disappear into the void so I'll try and tag all of them with one of my tags at least.

I'll edit this masterpost as needed.

God is good. May the Force be with you. Always.

Recalled • Part 3 • 25 - Hayden

Previous • Series Masterlist • Part 3 Masterlist • Next

There are so many unanswered questions that flow through Hayden’s mind. Just a few days ago he met the Recall of someone he used to know, and how that person had made friends with Rewinds who had parts of Starkey. He was baffled when he heard the news talk about how scientists planned on using the parts of Mason Starkey, low and behold they did. 

And then there’s Connor, where is he? Sure, Hayden is pretty confident that his brother, Lucas, goes to the American School of Marseille. However, Hayden knows as much as anyone else that European countries are tiny compared to Western ones, well, except for Russia. 

Connor could be anywhere in France, well not really, admittedly anything past Valence would be a pain to commune to. 

With the subject peeking his interest once again Hayden logs into their social media and home page.

Checking the social media page he finds the picture of the Lacrosse team again, with Lucas Saltries still tagged. Out of curiosity, Hayden clicks on the tag, it links to a page that is surprisingly not private. It seems like Lucas likes filling his page with recordings of his music and screamo makeup looks that would make any parent drop dead. 

There's a video in particular, showing a freeze frame of someone playing an electric guitar behind his drum set, which is visible in every video. Clicking into the video Hayden finds that it’s not just the drums and an electric guitar playing, there’s also the sound of a keyboard playing in the background. 

It takes a while, but eventually, the music stops and to Hayden’s surprise the unmistakable voice of Connor and Risa can be heard.

“You did something different this time.”

“I set the keyboard to have more bass.”

“It sounds good.” A different voice says Hayden can only assume it’s Lucas based on the way it sounds.

Hayden looks at the caption under the video “A bit of Music made with my brother and @Wionplayspiano.”

Finding a link to another account Hayden clicks into it, and the display name reads “Mademoiselle Wion” he soon realizes the entire page is in French, but that’s nothing the “see translation” button can’t fix. 

Hayden finds that nowhere on the page does it mention a first name for Mademoiselle Wion, it gives him a lick of doubt if this is even Risa at all. Perhaps Connor found a new, equally talented girlfriend, and Hayden just remembers Risa’s voice incorrectly. He keeps scrolling, all of her posts are of songs made by popular artists on her own keyboard until he gets to one of her first posts. “A Memoir” it reads, Hayden thinks it sounds familiar, but when Mademoiselle Wion gets to the chorus it hits him like a brick wall. It’s the tune he used to hear Risa play on the piano when he took his breaks from being in the ComBom all day, no doubt, Mademoiselle Wion is Risa Ward, or perhaps now Risa Wion.

Well, it answers one of Hayden’s questions, Connor and Risa are alive, but he hasn’t narrowed down where they are yet. 

He returns to Lucas’ page, the last video looped, something catches Hayden’s eye and he smirks, the guitarist, Lucas’ brother, has a shark tattoo.

There’s no tagged location on any of Lucas’ posts, Hayden didn't think there would be. Brains don’t always run in the family, but if Connor wouldn't give away his location Hayden doesn’t think Lucas would give it away either. 

Hayden swaps tabs to the school’s home page. Lucas’ face as well as his teammates’ flashes in the slideshow presented on the main page, but Hayden is afraid he’ll have to go a bit deeper. Hayden has gotten better at hacking since his first search for Connor. He easily passes into the personnel portal and into the student list, and his stomach drops a little. Hayden feels sick and perverted as scrolls through the list of names, feeling even sicker when tidbits of personal information pop up next to the students’ names. 

He finally breathes a breath of fresh air when he gets to the name Lucas F. Saltries, he clicks into it. The first thing that shows up is his contact list. Claire Saltries, his mother, Kirk Saltries, his father, and Robert Saltries, his older brother. Hayden recognizes the name Robert from the identity Connor was given after the clapper attack, E. Robert Mullard. Hayden writes down the phone number associated with him, saving it for later.

Hayden scrolls down more on Lucas’ info page. And, Bingo! His location of residence, cross-referencing it with an online map, he furrowed his eyebrows, there’s reviews on the residence.

Translating them, they’re reviews from neighbours talking about how nice and quiet the house is despite being a foster home. Looking into a street view Hayden realizes something about the home, there are blackout curtains on all the windows. The gears turn in Hayden’s mind, and they all click together, that’s no foster home, that’s an unwind safehouse. 

After all that thinking Hayden takes a deep breath of air, then immediately squeals of joy. He’s done it, he’s found Connor Lassiter, he does a little happy pace around his apartment before sitting back at his desk to look at the number he wrote down.

Before he types the number in he switches the location of his phone into a server in France near Connor. God forbid he gives Connor’s location away to any secret authority. 

After typing Connor’s, or rather Robert’s phone number, he's met with a voicemail.

“Allo! Vous êtes sur le voicemail de Robert Saltries, veuillez laisser un message après le bip. Hi! You’ve reached Robert Saltries’ voicemail, please leave a message after the beep.”

The beep stalls Hayden, but only for a second. “Hi Con-Robert, Robert, It’s me, Hayden, I’m not actually in France like the unknown number location might give you, I didn't want any of us to be charged. Anyway, I found you!” He sings, “Don’t worry, it wasn’t easy finding you, you covered your ass very well, anywho, nice catching up! Bye!” He ends the call. Hayden lets out another squeal of joy as he prances around, sure he didn’t get to actually talk to Connor but, knowing that somewhere out there, he was able to reach him is just as good of a feeling.

Hayden feels the need to share his newfound information, of course, he can’t share it online, and he shouldn’t necessarily share this information with his networking friends. So unfortunately for Hayden’s random email contact, Roland, he’ll have to do.

He calls up Roland using the phone number attached to his email, this time he actually reaches someone.

“Hi?..”

“Hi, Roland!”

“Oh, Hayden… Why are you calling me?”

“I’ve got some news! I’m not sure if you’ll consider it good or bad.”

“Uhh, ok?”

“I found Connor! Well, Robert, he changed his name to Robert.”

“Like, is he here in the U.S.?!”

“No, he’s in France, I had to do some illegal snooping on websites.”

There’s a bit of silence before Hayden hears Roland’s voice again.

“I think I’d be more concerned if a Rewind didn’t use the muscle memory from my legs to break into my house.”

“What!?”

“Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, Nero and Sam are fine, the whole dividing thing was a lie made up by the media.”

“Y-you’re just gonna skip past that house invasion comment?”

“I mean it was scary at first, but then I realized it was just Nero, she just wanted to ask me to come to the arcade.”

“Okay…”

“So… how have you been?” Roland asks.

“Well, not much has changed since you last called, you’re aware that I’m, like, a celebrity now.”

“What! No! I just thought ya ran a podcast, I only heard of you through a Rewind.” Roland pauses, “Which reminds me, how do you eat Fun Dip?”

“Did you just say ya and you in the same sentence?” Hayden giggles.

“Just answer the question!”

“Ha! I don’t know, sometimes I use the stick, sometimes I just shovel it in.”

Hayden hears a small mischievous cackle emit from his phone, “Well, I’ve answered your questions, so now it’s my turn to ask, how have you been doing? 

“I wouldn’t say much better than last time, I am starting my new meds today so maybe that’ll make me better?”

“What are they for?”

“My back, it’s in a lot of pain, most of the time, even before I was unwound.”

“So you’re telling me that if someone had just hit you in the right spot, you would’ve been totalled?”

“Angry and totalled… don’t get any ideas.”

Hayden laughs, “I won’t.”

“I’m surprised Connor didn’t realize it when he friggin’ shoved me-” There’s the sound of mouth clicks in the background, then Roland shakily tells him, “Hayden, Hayden I can’t feel anything!..”

ok i’ll separate by album so you can like choose what you wanna listen to depending on your style, with one gateway song that i think is a good intro to it and a personal fav

under the cut because i got carried away (like seriously i ended up writing a paragraph for each album 💀) but there are eight albums so sixteen recs for you👍

malloy’s crash course in fob albums + what to listen to first

take this to your grave — their first official album, a pop punk staple, extremely pop punk very clearly showing their hardcore roots:

gateway song: grand theft autumn/where is your boy (teehee its my url song but also i believe every person dipping their toes into the scene needs to listen to this song. it’s that iconic)

a fav that u should also listen to: saturday (this song means a lot to the band! they close every single show with it! and also it goes off!!)

from under the cork tree — the breakthrough album, the album with sugar we’re goin down and dance dance, another pop punk staple but now with slightly more pop friendly elements:

gateway song: a little less sixteen candles a little more “touch me” (another hit single and also just. a bop. an absolute bop)

a fav that u should also listen to: the music or the misery (this one isnt even on the actual album it’s technically an additional track from a deluxe edition. however i think it’s going to be in my spotify top 5 this year. the hook goes SO hard)

infinity on high — probably the most popular among fans? ive already said this album is insane it had such a perfect mix of their pop punk sound with stuff like soul, r&b, horns and violins… fucking insane. this is the one with bang the doldrums:

gateway song: i’m like a lawyer with the way i’m always trying to get you off (mmm i feel like i can eat this song it’s so comfy and easy to get into)

a fav that u should also listen to: i’ve got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers (OUGH. the orchestrations.. the piano!! the horns!!! patrick’s ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da during the bridge. a banger.)

folie à deux — this one goes hard. it was a very different album so there were a lot of people who hated it when it first came out but now it’s commonly agreed that it’s one of their best!! folie is like ioh with the experimentation turned up even more with lyrical focus on criticizing the media and celebrity culture among other things and it is cool ✨:

gateway song: she’s my winona (catchy as hell, i’ve always thought it was the best track to introduce someone to folie)

a fav that u should also listen to: america’s suitehearts (my fob tag (#you don’t don’t know you’re a legend) is lyrics from this song. it is. really fun to sing to and the music video is wonderfully trippy)

save rock and roll — first post-hiatus album! these next three are very different from the previous albums, way more pop than pop punk. srar itself is what i can only describe as an album that sounds so 2013 radio pop rock sometimes feel like i’ve regressed 10 years and the next song i’m going to listen to is counting stars by onerepublic. this is the album with my songs know what you did in the dark. album still slaps tho. fun fact they made a movie out of it which has elton john:

gateway song: alone together (top tier example of a 2013 pop song tbh. pop done wonderfully. wowzaz)

a fav that u should also listen to: where did the party go? (the bass… the synth… the delivery of the lyrics… this was the song that convinced me to relisten to save rock and roll and really get into it)

american beauty/american psycho — people call this one sports commercial/stadium rock music and honestly yeah. yeah. this one had not only centuries but immortals from the big hero six movie. i’m like split down the middle on this album because half i simply cannot care about but the other half goes really hard fav after fav so:

gateway song: fourth of july (*cackling* (this is the other song people heavily associate with mikey way) but seriously this one can wreck you)

a fav that u should also listen to: the kids aren’t alright (this one will wreck you. genuinely? lyrics of all time.)

mania — my fav ✨😌 though polarizing among fans because this album is the furthest from pop punk theyve ever gone; it’s experimental pop rock/electropop. but i love it to pieces its clear themes of changing yourself for better or worse and looking back at how things used to be and knowing that you’ve survived and redemption through love drive me insane. ough:

gateway song: the last of the real ones (a single. it bops and its lyrics are wonderful. the piano is iconic)

a fav that u should also listen to: sunshine riptide (SONG OF ALL TIME!!! idk if it’s still my fav but damn i love it so much. beach vibes. a summer song. banger hook. vocals that make me feral.)

so much (for) stardust — THE RETURN ALBUM! came out in march :D “a return to their roots” everyone says, mirroring folie in its rock/pop punk sounding base with funk, soul and even disco influences? insane. absolutely insane:

gateway song: hold me like a grudge (the funky bass is enough for me to die happy tbh this is such a silly bop. yeag this was the song with the lyric fanfic writers were clamouring over (“part time soulmate, full time problem”))

a fav that u should also listen to: what a time to be alive (they made a fucking earth wind and fire song about the fucking pandemic and it is kinda their best song ever)
