promposal || matt sturniolo

matt x fem!reader

warnings: none, fluff!

word count: 1,1k

a/n: I hope you like it and I did not ruin the idea!

I came home and tossed my bag and car keys on the cubby.

"Hi! I'm home!" I yelled to check if anyone was back from work or in case of my brother from school.

Only echo answered me and I sight of relief because the last thing I wanted was to small talk with everyone how my day was.

I went to my room, stripped from my clothes and wrapped my body in white, fluffy robe. I took change of clothes, my phone and dragged my feet to my parents master bathroom. They had huge bath tube and my mom had all those fancy stuff from TikTok to make a relaxing bath.

I made myself one with lots of bubbles and got in. I didn’t put any bath bomb or candles because it would give me a headache. The only thing I did was putting music on from my phone on the speaker in the bathroom.

I hated today. And all of this week to be honest.

It was this time of the year again. Senior year to be specific. Thats why I hated it even more because it's the last time ever for that.

For prom.

Everyone including my best friends were proposed to go to prom by their boyfriends. In every cute way possible. I was only there to fake smile and be happy for them but also a little jealous. Because here is the thing.

I was always so focused on school and soccer that I never, ever let any boy near me. It is a miracle that my best friends are still my friends. I was single through all high school, never went on any date and when I rejected some boys no-one asked me again. Which brings us here, I also was never asked to go for a prom. This time it was a little sad because it is going to be my last prom.

"I hate myself" I said and made my body to go under hot water while Frank Ocean was playing in the room.

I stayed like that for a second but I heard my music stopped for a massage notification so I sat back up and took my phone from the ground next to the bath tube splashing some water on the floor.

I checked the massage and I was a little surprised. It was from Matt Sturniolo. I knew him because his brother Chris was dating my best friend Maggie. He sometimes drives us to parties or games. He and his triplet brothers played hockey and lacrosse in our school. They were pretty good. Nick also did our yearbook this year. Matt and I never really had any class together and beside knowing him as Chris's brother I didn't really spend time with him. He didn’t usually stay at parties after games and even if he did he spent time with his team mates I did with mine.

I smiled a little. Was he kind of asking me out? What should I do?

Wasn't I just complaining that nobody asked me out?

And I said yes.

What am I even going to wear? It’s march and it’s going to be cold on the beach.

I spend and hour in the bath and than I ate early dinner and started to get ready.

I did blow out on my hair and put a light make up on. I didn’t want to look like I care too much. I put some jeans on and a hoodie with white Air Force 1. They had blue flowers custom painted for me on them by one of my friends.

When I got a text massage from Matt that he is waiting outside a little before 7 I told my parents I’m leaving and took my purse and locked the door behind me.

He was leaning on his car and smiled when he saw me. He looked nice. We kinda matched the outfits. He also was wearing a hoodie and jeans and white air forces.

“Hi… it’s nice to see you not on the field next to mine” he said.

That’s true. We usually just had practice or a game next to each other.

“Same to you… you stole my outfit tho” I laughed as he opened car doors for me.

“I can live with matching your outfit” He smiled looking at me and he closed the doors and went to the driver seat.

We drove to the beach talking about everything and nothing. Mostly about sports and music and the midterms.

“We’re here let’s go?” He smiled when we parked.

I got out of the car and he came to me.

“Okay I know it will sound weird but can you close your eyes? And not peek?” Ha asked me.

He was nervous?

“Okay…. But if you want to kill me my dad is going to find you and probably kill your brother for accident” I said closing my eyes and sticking my hand out for him.

He giggled at what I said and toon my hand to lead me.

Sun was setting already so it is going to be dark soon. I’m not sure what we are doing here.

I heard some sounds as we were walking on the sand but mostly it was sound of the ocean.

“Okay I’m going to let go of your hand… don’t open your eyes just yet” he said.

He dropped my hand and I stand waiting for him to tell me to open my eyes. I heard some voices too.

What the hell is happening.

“Okay… you can open your eyes now” Matt said from somewhere in front of me.

I opened my eyes and they automatically widened.

There was some lanterns going up into the sky. Like I my favorite movie.

Tangled.

I looked at them and then down to see where they are coming from. Whole lacrosse and hockey team were putting them up.

There he was standing in the middle with a poster that said:

Light up my night at prom?

And there was a painting of the tower from the movie. It was beautiful. I bet Maggie did it.

Nobody ever did anything like that for me.

“Matt what the hell?” I said coming up to him I’m pretty sure I had tears in my eyes now.

“Sooo?” He looked at me unsure of my reaction.

“Of course..” I said looking at him and wiped my cheeks with my hoodies sleeve.

Whole teams started cheering and I laughed.

“How did you even know? That I like the movie…” I asked.

“Well I talked to Chris and Chris talked to Maggie and you know…” he scratched back of his neck.

“Gosh I feel like I could kiss you right now…” I whispered.

He smiled and put one of his hands on my cheek and the other one wondered on my back to pull me closer to him. He looked deep in my eyes looking for reassurance but I just connected our lips together.

It couldn’t get any better. The best promposal I could ask for.

After Show Punishment

When Niall performs your favorite song while you’re away from tour for a few days, you decide to take matters into your own hands when you return.

**this is my first time ever writing niall smut i realize it may not be 100% accurate please bear with me**

You were sitting in Niall’s tour bus, waiting for him to come back after his show. While you were on tour with him, you had to take a quick flight back home to take care of some things at the house. While you were home, though, you learned through TikTok that while you were gone, Niall performed “Put A Little Love On Me” for the first time on the American leg of the tour. To say you were shocked to hear this was an understatement. Niall knew that was your favorite song to hear live, and while touring abroad, he always made sure you were in view of the stage before performing it. You were so annoyed with him, you didn’t even tell him what show you were coming back for. Once everything was taken care of, you just got on a plane to the next city, and waited until you knew he was on stage to take an Uber to the venue. Getting backstage wasn’t an issue at all, but you had to be sneaky so Niall wouldn’t see you. This led to right now, waiting in the tour bus for him to come back. Usually you two spend time alone in the bus right after the show, since his band members have a different bus and his crew is breaking down.

You glanced at the clock, 10:15pm. Niall would be back soon. He was probably performing Slow Hands right now, so you stood up, and removed your silky red robe, wearing just a green lace teddy that he had gotten you for Christmas. It was his favorite one, but that might not be true after tonight. Tossing the robe on one of the booth seats, you sat back on the couch, leaning back and crossing your legs as you eagerly awaited Niall’s return.

Ten minutes had passed when you heard the door to the bus open. Immediately you sat up straight, setting your hands on your top knee as you turned your attention to the door. Niall stepped onto the bus, still obviously sweaty from performing. Setting down his water bottle, you could tell he didn’t see you yet. It wasn’t until after he slipped off his shoes and socks that he looked up, and locked eyes with you. “Babe? I didn’t know you were coming back tonight!” He walked towards you with a smile, but stopped dead in his tracks once he realized what you were wearing. “Woah, is that for me?” He walks towards you, a smirk growing on his face.

You manage to stand before it gets too close, taking a few steps back from him. “Oh no, not so fast Niall.” You folded your arms in front of you, trying to look tough and not cave at the cute look of confusion on his face. “This isn’t one of those nights.”

He looked so confused, but thought for a moment as to why you could be upset with him, and then it hit him. His eyes widened with realization, and he quickly grabbed your hands. “Oh baby, I’m so sorry! We started playing it at soundcheck, and just decided to play it for the concert. I tried to steer the band towards Paper Houses, but they insisted, I am so, so sorry!”

As you listened to his apology, you almost caved, but stood your ground, pulling your hands away from his. “I don’t think sorry is going to cut it, Niall. I was really hurt.” Seeing his sad, remorseful eyes killed you. “I think you should strip down.”

He raised a brow, but obeyed, pulling his tank top over his head. “Babe, I really am sorry, I just want you to know that.” He told you as he tossed his shirt aside before undoing his pants and pulling them off his legs, leaving him in just his red boxer briefs.

“I know you are, Niall, but I want you to show me how sorry you are.” Once he was stripped, you grabbed his hand, pulling him back to the room at the end of the bus. You weren’t sure of your exact plan, but that didn’t matter now. You were in control tonight, not Niall. Once you reached the bedroom, you released his hand. “Get on the bed.” You told him, stepping off to the side, smiling as he obeyed and took a seat. “Now, lay back, you can call me whatever you see fit."

He was nervous, but laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. He tried not to look over as he heard you rummaging through a drawer, wanting to let you have your moment. He knew he messed up, and if doing this meant making it up to you, then he’ll go along with it. “I’ll do whatever it takes, babe.”

You smirked as you heard that. He was putty in your hands, and now the fun can begin. You turned to him, a cock ring in one hand, and a pair of handcuffs in the other. As his eyes widened when he saw what you were holding, your smirk just grew. “What’ll it be, baby?” Now that you were standing here, you wished you hadn’t grabbed the ring, since you weren’t even sure how it worked, and it would ruin the whole mistress concept if Niall had to explain it to you.

Niall pondered for a moment, and nodded towards the cuffs. “The handcuffs, please, Miss.” He could tell you weren’t confident with the ring, he could just tell by your eyes. He had to admit, it was interesting to see how you took charge, and was secretly looking forward to how this turned out.

Your stomach flipped when he called you “miss”, but you nodded, setting the ring down before walking to him. You took his hands, moving them above his head. “Good boy, now let’s get started.” Taking the cuffs, you looped one around each wrist, securing them above Niall’s head. “There, perfect!” You took a step back to admire your boyfriend restrained on the bed, and smiled wide. Climbing on top of the bed, you straddled Niall’s waist, resting against his clothed member. His eyes widened as you began to gently grind down against him, but he kept his mouth shut. You liked that he stayed silent, maybe it was shock, maybe it was pure curiosity, but you wanted it to stay that way. “We have to make sure you don’t do what you did again, don’t we Niall?” You picked up the pace, not breaking eye contact. “You have to learn a lesson, right?” You asked, giving him permission to speak.

“Yes, ma’am, you’re right. What I did was bad, I hurt you and didn’t fully think of how my actions would make you feel.” He had a look of shame on his face, he genuinely felt bad for what had happened and that right there almost caused you to snap and just let him free so he could take over, but you had to be strong. You got off of him, then pulled the boxer briefs down his legs, smirking at his already hard dick.

“Aw, that’s cute, babe.” You spoke, wrapping a hand around it, getting on your knees on the bed next to him. “Now, I’m going to allow you to audibly react, okay?” Once you got a nod of understanding from him, you leaned over and brought his dick into your mouth, almost taking all of it at once due to muscle memory, but stopping yourself about halfway down. This was just as much of an adjustment for you as it was for him. While you heard him let out a loud moan, all you could think about was the hurt you felt. Was this a silly thing to be hurt over? Actually, not really, you had every right to be upset with him, and now it was being dealt with.

He leaned his head back, shutting his eyes. “Oh fuck, feels so good baby.” He knew he was in trouble, but this was a nice surprise after a long day of soundchecks and performing. However, he certainly noticed when you only went down halfway, and that was killing him. Sure, this was part of his punishment, but he definitely wasn’t used to you holding back, and he wanted you to speed up a bit, but he wouldn’t dare ask in fear of prolonging being able to finish. He honestly felt kind of stupid for letting this happen, he should’ve tried harder to convince the band to do a different song, but he didn’t want to upset them. However, he knew he didn’t make the right choice solely because he ended up upsetting you instead.

You felt powerful, having him in such a submissive position, knowing you had full control over when or even if he came. You slowly moved your head back and forth, making sure to keep a snail’s pace just to tease him even more. Hearing his small yet frustrated moans only fueled your desire for his punishment, and you were going to make him beg. To give him a false sense of hope, you sped up a bit, moving your head in a more fluid motion, before halting and slowing back down again. You heard him mutter out a “fer fucks sake” and mentally gave yourself a pat on the back before pulling off completely and looking up at him. “Huh, I’m feeling kind of bored, maybe I should take a break.”

He quickly shook his head when you said that, a puppy dog look in his eyes. “Oh baby, please don’t, I promise I’ll be a good boy from now on! I’ll even let you dictate the setlist!”

You frowned, shaking your head. “No, it’s your tour babe, I’m just not happy about the choice you made.” You didn’t give him a chance to respond, just brought his dick right back into your mouth, swirling the tongue around the tip. You knew that drove him crazy, and had been waiting for the right time to pull it out.

“Oh baby, you’re so good to me, I’m sorry I hurt you, I promise I won’t do it again.” He considered not telling you he was close, but knew that would only get him into more trouble. “I’m close baby, so close.” He moaned out, leaning his head back against the pillow, and letting out a frustrated whine when he felt you pull off once more. “Please, baby! Please let me finish, I’ll be such a good boy!”

You had to admit, you weren’t THAT strong, and hearing him beg was killing you. As fun as this was, you wanted him just as bad now, so without another word, you brought his full length in, and you could hear the relief in his moan. You moved your head back and forth in a fluid motion, all while reaching up and gently playing with his balls.

“Oh fuck, taking daddy’s dick so well, aren’t ya lass?” When Niall pulled out the Irish slang, that’s how you knew he was close. However, you weren’t having the “daddy” part, you were still in charge and he needed to learn that the hard way. You pulled off his dick, looking him dead in the eyes.

“You are not in charge here. I am, and you will talk to me as such.” His eyes filled with confusion and surprise, but you held your ground, and stood up. “I think I’m going to let you think about what you’ve done.”

His eyes went wide, and he quickly shook his head. “Oh baby, please don’t leave me like this, I’m sorry for what I said!” Niall was not used to any of this, being edged, or punished, or left alone unable to take care of his sexual needs, and most of all he hated you being mad at him. “Please, please, don’t leave me like this.”

You stood at the edge of the bed, looking at him and listening to him beg, and sighed.You really need to work on being stronger. “You better not do this again, Horan.” With that, you got back on the bed, bringing his dick into his mouth one last time, full length and all. When you and Niall started dating a couple years ago, you couldn’t take more than half of him in without gagging, and you were proud of how much you’ve improved. You kept at a good speed, and you felt happy when he started using the slang again.

“Oh fuck lass, I’m so close, you’re so good.” He threw his head back on the pillows, shutting his eyes as he felt you picking up the pace, your tongue swirling around his dick. If there’s one thing he loved, it was getting sucked off by you, and although this experience nearly had him in tears, he’d do it again if it meant keeping you happy.

Enjoying his praise, you upped the speed a bit, your hand having found its way to his balls again. The only sound that filled the room was Niall’s moans and him begging for more, and with you gradually speeding up, it wasn’t long until he finally shot his load down your throat, a breathy “fuck!” escaping his mouth. You pulled off, swallowing the rest of it before looking at him with a smirk. “How was that, baby?” You asked as you grabbed the key to the cuffs, going up and freeing his hands from them and tossing them aside. “Your arms must be tired.”

Once he was free, he grabbed you and pulled you into his arms, kissing the top of your head. “It’s okay, I know I had to learn a lesson, I really am sorry, baby. I didn’t take the time to think about how it would affect you.” He rubbed your back, looking at you with sad eyes.

You looked back at him with a small smile. “I forgive you baby. You were such a good boy, taking your punishment so well.” You pulled the covers over your bodies, and snuggled up to him while he gently hummed Put A Little Love On Me while his hand traveled down your side.

Hogwarts legacy headcanons

While normal people go and socialize I wake up and think about ✨them✨

So there's some headcanons about my favourite Legacy Team (as I call them) for ya folks while I'm writing a really big fic about them. Careful, some of them are sad. And don't mind my poor grammar thanks.

Btw, collages are mine, feel free to use them💙

🐍Sebastian Sallow🐍

First off all, if you turn him in, I don't trust you

Literally a typical Slytherin

A nerd. Just a nerd.

Quidditch? Babe, the only sport for him is dueling

Felt absolutely helpless when his parents died. And that's why he's so protective. He just can't let anyone else die on his watch

Really is a small version of his father and proud of it

Believes that the end justifies the means

Hopeless flirt BUT a gentleman. Wouldn't do anything you don't like

And also most probably believes in true love

A proud bisexual

Everyone think that "he fucks everything that moves" but he's a virgin who "saves himself for the one and only"

As some fan said, he was probably born on 18th September. And it's a canon now.

A great friend but a terrible secret keeper, so for Merlin's sake, don't tell him ANYTHING

Knows how to braid hair into the most complex ways

Pro feminist! Treats women right and knows all important stuff thanks to his sis

🔥Natty Onai🔥

I'm sorry but she's so underrated and for what??

I believe she really respect traditions she were tought as a child

Her favourite holiday must be her birthday. All because it was the only day of the year when her parents forgot about all the dangers and sorrows and they just got together, spending the best time

Most probably will return to the homeland after Hogwarts

Is the only member of the team who play quidditch

(as a keeper ofc)

She's a lesbian idk dudes

A very honest girl who were raised to be a good person

So she just expects the same from others

A very competitive. But not like Imelda. Natty respects fair competition and knows how to honorably recognize a match

Although this does not mean that she will not destroy you to win

Is always cold poor thing

Religious bc I feel like it

Has mommy issues and don't tell me I'm wrong

Will definitely become the best auror one day

🌼Poppy Sweeting🌼

Her favourite holiday is Christmas lemme tell you that

Trust issues

She's trying her best to be gentle with every living being because she saw too much violence already

And that's why she thinks animals are better than people (agree)

She's definitely an INFP and I won't change my mind

Looks like a cinnamon roll but will kill you

A cliché but I feel like she's an excellent cook

Although she would LOVE to find someone to understand her (like us) she's totally okay with being on her own

Is into mind games like chess

But will go to see a quidditch game just to support Natty (and mc if they play)

Is always up to an adventure

Bullies? Girl grew up among killers, you really think she would care about some bullies?

I feel like she has the strongest personality in here. Doesn't matter what happens she will always stand straight while helping others

Is a cat person

Can't cry bc she was not allowed as a child

💚Ominis Gaunt💚

Just an innocent little boy let's be honest

He may look like he can kill you but he's just a cinnamon roll

Jokes about his blindness as a defence mechanism

Had a crush on both Sallow siblings at some point and I can't blame him

Saw a theory on tiktok that his patronus would be albino snake. CANON

Just wants to have a simple quiet life without any drama

Protective of his friends BUT is more protective of his boundaries

Don't mind his blindness he knows EXACTLY how to be a fashion icon

Another cliché: Omi can play piano

And it's the only thing his parents tought him that he loves. Playing helps him to calm down

Is very private, but as soon as he starts to trust you, he will immediately blurt out his life story, dreams, fears etc

Though he can't see an actual game, Omi likes to go on a quidditch game, because of the happy energy around him

Is sick most of the time for some reason. Cold, stomach ache or anything really

Also a nerd. But unlike Sebastian he's a fiction lover. Helps him to escape reality, especially in his family's house

Clingy with everyone he loves bc they make him feel safe

9, 12, 20, 34 💚

9. Build a small council with any characters dead or alive

-Hand: Otto Hightower if I actually need to get work done. Edmure for the shits and gigs

-Grand Maester: whichever feminist king is giving Alicent her plan B and saying #imwithher in HOTD rn is it Orwyle

-Master of Coin: Larys he’s probably good at insider trading

-Master of Laws: Arthur Dayne if I wanted to run a police state. Kevan if I still wanted a police state but at least he acts normal

-Master of ships: Davos runs the business and Aurane can be the face

-Master of Whispers: Grown up Arya because we could keke about all the gossip later

-Lord Commander: Cole then realizing how much of a freak he is then Barristan then realizing how much of a covert freak he is then Duncan then realizing— eventually we get to Blackfish and he just abolishes the police

12. Who are you traveling the ravaged riverlands with?

Pod because I need someone to carry my stuff but also I need to give him intensive child therapy. And Arya because we would play fun road games

20. A theory you pray never comes true

All the theories I know are mostly crackpot but I don’t want Jon becoming a stark king in the north at the end I would literally vomit. Also Dany will live this is true :)

34. What’s something people get wrong about your favorite character?

Hmmm I hate hate hate when people act like Arya is this cold blooded sociopath assassin who hates everyone and kills without remorse etc etc she’s friends with everyone!! She gets sad over strangers!! She is merciful and struggles with the idea of becoming nobody because she’s a fugitive preteen who misses her mom and dad and siblings!!! Also ppl get things wrong ab Dany all the time it actually makes my blood boil…she is not a madwoman or incompetent ruler she’s fifteen!!! She’s a smart fifteen year old who’s carrying a dead empire on her back and makes mistakes because of it but that doesn’t mean her intentions aren’t good and she isn’t blind to the fact that she makes mistakes…Dany I will save you from ASOIAF TikTok and Reddit I promise

team 100: nolan moyle au

tagging: @ivy-34, @francesfarhadi, @hzstry8, @cixrosie, @itsnotgray, @estapa94, @trevs-swiftie, @heartz4hisch

when nolan came back from work he was not expecting to find his daughter crying in her room.

you had gone to grab AJ some snacks for his game while your daughter finished her homework. she was fine when you left but it seemed her mood changed quickly.

“nicole, are you okay sweetie?” nolan asked softly.

he heard your daughter sniffle and wipe her eyes before responding.

“yeah i’m fine dad!”

nolan knew she wasn’t fine. so he gently opened the door and sat by her bed. nicole immediately latched onto her father, slow tears coming out of her eyes.

“hey, what’s going on peaches?” he asked, going into full dad mode.

“how could you leave?” nicole whispered.

nolan was confused.

he had never left his family. they were his whole life.

“i don’t think i understand sweetie. i’m not going anywhere,” he reassured nicole.

“how did you leave michigan?” nicole asked.

that’s when it all became clear to him.

the twins were in their senior year of high school and now his baby girl was scared of leaving.

“i didn’t.” he answered.

“i graduated senior year with uncle jimmy and uncle pasta cause nick was already playing pro. but i went back,”

“i went back and did another year. this time i graduated with your mum and jbone and grano. that one was tougher than the first. and your mum and i thought we’d stay in michigan but then i got offered a contract in russia for two years,”

“but mama stayed here,” nicole finished.

nolan smiled at his daughter. “yeah. mama stayed here and worked with the blue jackets so she was with kj, uncle nick and adamo,”

nicole nodded and gave her father one last big hug.

“can i ask why you got sad all of a sudden? i thought you were excited to go to michigan,” nolan asked gently.

“i was on tiktok and i got this edit of you crying during your frozen four interview and then it said uncle luke, uncle mackie and adamo left that year,”

nolan closed his eyes as he remembered that year. sure, it was eighteen years ago but he remembered it as if it was yesterday.

“but now we all live close together and we always meet for the summer,” nolan reminded.

nicole just smiled and snuggled into her father a bit, enjoying his embrace.

“hey dad,”

“yeah peaches?”

“is it true you made a slip n slide with beer and dish soap on your kitchen floor?”

“i think you need to stop watching tiktoks,”

“Dude, can you help me with something?” Sapnap asks, barging into George’s bedroom without bothering to knock or send him a courtesy text or fucking say something. What if he’d been naked?

Though, to be honest, he shouldn’t really expect him to knock by now. They’ve lived together a year and Sapnap barges into his room almost every day. He used to be more polite— he knows that he and Dream were always incredibly courteous of each other— but as soon as George moved in that all kind of went out the window.

“No, idiot,” George says immediately, not looking up from the TikTok playing on his phone. After a beat of silence, he meets Sapnap’s stupid sad little eyes and the annoying little wrinkle in his brow that’s only ever there when he’s stressed. He lets out a sigh. “What is it, Sapnap?”

“You have to come see for yourself.” If the look in Sapnap’s eyes wasn’t so grim, he would think that he was getting pranked. What could have possibly happened in his room that requires George to go help with it? He only got to L.A. like two days ago.

But George decides to humor him, pushing out of bed and following Sapnap down the hallway. He was getting sick of watching TikToks anyway. At least helping Sapnap might be marginally less boring.

When they get to Sapnap’s doorway he pauses with his hand on the doorknob and takes a shaky breath. “I’m gonna let you in and close the door behind you. Once you’ve taken care of the fucker, let me know and I’ll let you out.”

“Wha-” he starts, but Sapnap shoves him into the room and slams it shut behind him.

George turns around and goes for the knob for a fucking explanation but Sapnap is fucking holding it shut. What the fuck could warrant him holding the fucking door shut with George inside the room?

George looks around the room for a second to see what Sapnap could have been referring to. It’s nearly spotless— Sapnap is actually about ten times cleaner than he’d expected him to be— except for the messed up sheets of a hastily deserted bed and the half-empty cup of water on his nightstand.

Then he spots it, crawling up the side of the windowsill. It’s a spider, smaller than most of the ones that George sees back in Florida. He doesn’t know much about spiders other than that they’re disgusting-looking but he’s pretty sure that this one is harmless. It’s just a normal fucking spider and Sapnap is freaking out and locking George in the room with it. He’s never going to fucking let him live this down.

George thinks it looks fucking gross but he doesn’t actually want to kill it. He also doesn’t particularly want to touch it either, which puts him in an interesting dilemma. He’s not going to lie to Sapnap about it— if he was going to fuck with him, it would be much better to do that with a caught spider instead of one that’s still loose on the windowsill.

The idea hits him and he grabs a piece of paper off of Sapnap’s desk before running across the room and chugging the rest of his water. He wrinkles his nose as he drinks it. Definitely last night’s water instead of something fresh.

Careful as he steps toward the windowsill, George slams the cup over the spider and quickly slides the paper underneath, yelping as he pulls it away. It’s a success: the spider is in the cup and he can relocate it to the outside world.

“Let me out,” he says, kicking the door lightly. “I’ve neutralized the threat for poor, scared little Sapnap.”

The door slowly creaks open. “Shut the fuck up, dude.”

George removes the paper and holds the cup out toward Sapnap for a second, earning a scream as he scrambles back into the wall.

He hears a door click open across the hallway.

“Dude, what the fuck?” Dream asks, rubbing his eyes as he emerges from his room. He looks like he just woke up, which is probably true. He’s sick as shit right now.

“I liberated a poor, innocent spider from Sapnap’s room.” George slides the paper back over the cup before it can climb out and kill Sapnap via the heart attack he’ll have when he sees it loose in the hallway.

Dream rolls his eyes and snatches the cup and the paper from him, marching back into his room and throwing open his window. He drops the spider out into the street below and closes it. “All taken care of.”

George turns to Sapnap. “What do you do when you see a spider back home? They’re everywhere.”

Sapnap looks sheepishly at the ground. “Dream handles the spiders, dude. I just didn’t want to wake him up since he’s sick.”

“He called my mom to take care of it once when I wasn’t home,” Dream adds with a laugh.

“It’s not fucking funny,” Sapnap says with a scowl. “Some of those fuckers are fucking poisonous.”

“Venomous,” George corrects.

He turns to glare at him. “Shut up, dude.”

With a sigh, George slings an arm over his shoulder. “It’s okay, Sapnap. Now you have two people to take care of the spiders for you.”

And even though he’s still kind of glaring at him, Sapnap looks like he’s kind of relieved. Even though George likes to give him shit— that’s the nature of their friendship, after all— he clearly knows that he’s as much of a friend of his as Dream is.

It makes George happy to be home with his best friends, on the anniversary of his trip to Florida, no matter where that home is.

so this whole post is inch-resting for a few reasons, because it confirms i'm not fucking crazy lol. i've noticed some of this shit for months now, basically since those two started dating lmfao (well, publicly anyway)

so the queer sibling and his sister are EXTREMELY close. like, would take a bullet for each other close. closer than sway is to his sister close. the queer sibling also lives in chicago, while beth and her fam are in new york so so they can visit boston more regularly. i wanna say it was on puckgoss that someone who knew alessandra from high school said she was really good at being manipulative and fake nice in order to social climb, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was pulling the same shit on beth (esp since they see each other like 2-3 times a year at most?) because her being a bigot would NAWT fly in that house.

AND OKAY GOOD i'm not the only person who noticed the stuff going on with the wags. rebecca (pasta's wife) apparently HATES her, she's now seemingly been shunned from the main group of younger girls w amanda, ryen, paula, madison, etc. so now she's stuck clinging to katrina, a woman in her late 30s who also has a rep with locals for being a nasty cunt, but is also head wag so i guess not surprising she'd attach herself to the "queen bee" for clout. i saw a rumor on the athletic of all places, in the comments on one of the swayman contract articles, saying that during playoffs alessandra was incredibly rude and entitled towards the other wags/service staff during a cam neely foundation dinner that the front office put on for the wags, to the point where she got reprimanded by cam/his wife themselves for it being a bad look on the bruins org 😬 if true then holy YIKES no wonder the other girls want to distance themselves. i def noticed she didn't get invited out to any of the dinners after that night which i thought was sus, but didn't really think much about it at the time back in may lol.

the house thing is just. insanity lol. i've been convinced since june that they've been rushing the relationship because he was about to become one of the bruins core players and needed to look "settled" for optics because he's about to turn 26 this year which is "late" by nhl standards. his relationship with his ex tori lasted what, almost three years? they never moved that fast and that was with someone he literally described as the "girl of his dreams" on a podcast back in 2020. meanwhile he's moving in with with a girl he's known for less than a year, has nothing in common with, and who was actively hunting for a hockey husband to bankroll her luxury lifestyle while she sits around unemployed and badly plays instagram and tiktok influencer online. uh huh, sure jan. if the plan is to endgame then i sincerely hope sway is smart enough to keep his finances separate/in trust away from her because the vibes are absolutely rancid with that girl.

the one thing i'm gonna push back on is the fake nice thing, only because as a fan who has followed him for years now, him being like this is very VERY recent behaviour and pretty much started when he started dating alessandra. i've talked to so many other b's fans online who have noticed his entire personality change because of this girl. if it was a long-running issue there would probably be way more stories about him being a dick to people, but most anecdotes about him since college have always emphasized him being a genuinely sweet and well-adjusted (read: non hockey bro) guy. why he's decided to turn into country club frat boy mcgee to impress a girl i'll never understand, but it really ain't cute. like, the pussy CANNOT be that good. 😭

Yeah it's honestly pretty sad if he's changing that much for her 😕

[teslacoils-and-hubris]

If in the modern age, what tf2 characters do you think would use tiktok? Sorry im trying to think of an epic question but thats all i can imagine

don't apologize because i clearly had too much fun with this

scout without a doubt. im Not on tiktok so all i know about it from watching commentary youtubers talk about shit i dont care about in the background while i do other stuff, but he would absolutely get sucked into that weird NPC trend. I can see him watching it for hours, then deciding he'd be suuuuper popular if he did it. He does get super popular but its only because people make a game of getting him to break character which is super easy and happens constantly. he's constantly getting into fights with people and is only popular because he becomes this big punching bag laughing stock. Scout of course has no idea about this and thinks he's Finally Made It as an influencer until admin finds out he's been livestreaming from the base and has him shot live on stream and has all traces of his account scrubbed (though some people still got screen recordings) and it becomes this sort of internet true crime obsession for years.

I think Pyro downloaded it to play with filters and got sad when they didn't work on the gas mask. i could see them having a 'does it burn' type channel where the ending clip no matter what it started with or how small it was is always a massive inferno with their thumbs up in the corner and people go wild for it

I think medic would have fun doing tiktok dances and pretending to be a real doctor while telling people that actually *extremely dangerous health hazard* is not only completely safe but really good for you actually!! doing surgery on yourself is all a part of healthy curiosity and totally safe to remove your own heart for fun and profit!

i don't think any of the others would be on tiktok. heavy has a facebook but its all just minion memes and pictures of his guns and hasn't been updated in like 5 years. Spy and Sniper don't touch social media with a ten foot pole. Spy for spy reasons and sniper is a technologically inept hermit who has never had anything fancier than a nokia.

[smileyg0th]

i just want to rant about how much i adore matt maltese. i’ve always listened to him, especially in my childhood cos i grew up hearing some of his music. recently (28th march), i saw him live in detroit. it was genuinely the most magical thing i’ve ever experienced. i’m so grateful that i was able to have my first concert be him. he was a bit late. he got caught in customs at the airport. i waited SO EAGERLY while others performed in place of him for that time. he arrived around 9pm, i genuinely started screaming like a little girl seeing one direction in 2010. genuinely i don’t think i’ve ever sung along to music more carelessly. i didn’t mind my voice cracking or me being off key. i quite literally just belted out all his fucking symphonies he’s created. i’m very selective with my music choices so i didn’t know every single song. i knew most of them though yeah? my mom’s favorite was called “strange time”. my dad knew “kiss me” because it’s a cover of a different song. my sister eagerly recorded it all to show her friends. she was so happy when the songs i taught her started playing, especially the ones she knows from tiktok (i don’t have tiktok so i don’t remember which ones. probably “as the world caves in”). i was so incredibly happy. i was jumping around and dancing and singing without any care. the bass and drums shook the whole place and i LOVED it. me and my mom belted “mother” together and me and my sister danced around on the balcony when “everyone adores you” played. my sister is so sweet. she yelled “I KNOW THIS ONE!!!!1!1!1!1!” every time a song she knew played 😭😭😭😭 /vvvvpos. during the encore i was really sad cos he didn’t end up playing my favorite song (intolewd). i was in the middle of (jokingly) throwing a fit when he started playing it and i SWEAR it was magical. hearing my favorite song live was absolutely a dream come true. there was a disco ball on the ceiling and it lit up during the chorus. i think it’s getting popular on tiktok and that’s why the disco ball lit up. which honestly kind of irks me cos like THATS MY SONG !!! /j. i went home all giddy from the concert. it felt like a dream. i’ve still got a cup from the bar they had there. had the YUMMIEST most SCRUMPTIOUS pineapple juice there bluh 😭🙏 /pos. we got pizza on the way home. it was like a 45 minute drive so i ate it at home. it was like 11:30 when we got home. everyone went to bed. i sat at the table with my messed hair and some random sweater cos i got cold and i ate pizza. was probably the most peaceful moment in my life so far. recently i had a brain scan, like 2 days ago i think. i’m very medically complex and need hospital a lot so when my schizophrenia symptoms got worse i was immediately ordered an mri. i grew up in the hospital and got them regularly until i was 6, but i was always sedated for them. this was my first one that i went through awake. they asked if i wanted to watch a movie during it or listen to music and i INSISTED music. i had a full blown panic attack in there because it was so fucking loud and overwhelming. but guess what!!!! i was listening to matt maltese through a damn stethoscope and that bitch helped me!!!!!!! i, for some reason, thought i was gonna die in there or something so i was shaking like a leaf but i genuinely stopped immediately hearing “krystal.” i don’t know why his music is so therapeutic to me. i got through it and came out halfway through “jupiter”, from the same album as “krystal.” i can’t explain how much matt and his music has helped me through literally everything. i’m sure he’s saved my life SO many times. god i could go on for HOURS about him. i just remembered his song “philadelphia” and OH MY GOD i’m fighting not to rant more about him and that song. i’m gonna stop here. literally nobody is gonna read this giggles

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

oh the ones I wanted to send are taken already UHM.. Wrightdot and/or Franmaya? (the latter isn't my cup of tea but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it!)

HELLO, GRACE, MY DARLING FRIEND GRACE 💖💕💕💞♥️💝❤️💗❤️💖💖💕💝💞♥️💗💞 Thank you for the ask; I am honoured you actually wanted to hear me talk about multiple ships whsjdhj 💖💘💗

Wrightdot:

Grace, trying to answer this gave me some sort of quarter-life existential crisis, and I am a bit hysterical rn. Through the laughter and the screaming, I have to admit that... I kind of............ get it??????? I WOULDNT SAY I SHIP IT, BUT, LIKE. THEY'RE SO FUNNY BUT ALSO REALLY SAD AND IM????? IDK WHAT I THINK SJWVSHDHFKDH

Ultimately, though, ULTIMATELY. I can't quite get past the whole 'that is Mia's ex who is still very much in love with her, and her protege' thing. She's played too much of a role in both their lives for them to see very far past her influence on one another, and I don't think it'd be very healthy for them to try pursuing a romantic relationship; because I feel like they'd inevitably end up trying to fill the space Mia left in their lives through the other person which just wouldn't work. I definitely think they should have some sort of a relationship, though! I think Diego cryptically mentoring Phoenix and being very unhelpful most days, but always really solid help deep down, is very fun and kind of important for them post-BttT. I think they should get to truly know one another, beyond the masks and the projection, and Diego has a lot more experience being a lawyer than Phoenix, so he'd definitely be able to help with all the moral quandaries that are bound to come up later on. Plus he'd Get the whole 7-yg Phoenix attitude thing because... he's been there. I think he could've been helpful, and it's a shame we don't get to see them be, if not friends, respected acquaintances.

Alternatively, though, the idea of Phoenix having a casual conversation with Diego only for the fleeting thought of "Wow, he's really attractive" to stop him dead in his tracks and make him question his whole life and go to therapy and Leave the Country™ is so funny to me. Alternatively-alternatively, I get the romance of it. It's the whole pulling back the mask, having someone who really understands you, being accepted in spite of your worst flaws, moving on from grief and loss with another hand in yours and NOPE. I CANT TALK ABOUT THIS. I DONT SHIP IT BUT IDK! IDK!!!! IM THROWING THEM BOTH OFF A CLIFF, AND THEN IM THROWING MYSELF OFF A CLIFF. I AM DONE. GOODBYE.

Franmaya:

Okay, after standing in the shower and staring at a wall for 3 hours, I can talk normally again, which is good because I have to explain this.

I know the people who ship them don't do it in this way, but? Honestly? Franmaya is one of those wlw ships that strike me as two female characters being shoved together because they're left hanging once the main male couple whom everyone actually cares about (nrmts in this case) gets together, and because no one can find anything interesting to say about them as individuals, so now they're lesbians. Yay! (And also because people maybe don't want to be seen as only shipping mlm ships for fear of being told they're fetishising them.) And I know that that's not true and that most Franmaya shippers love both of them individually (as we all should), but something about them always makes me hear the feminine AI TikTok voice going, "Diversity Win 😊👍🎉!" in my head and conjures up images of Western corporate advertisements during the month of June (hence the love is love coca-cola).

And I know this isn't the case, but ???? I think it's mainly because I genuinely do not understand this ship. I don't usually need ships to be supported by canon for me to ship them, but what we've been given by canon doesn't help me see these two as ever being friends, let alone girlfriends. I understand the reasoning of "they both have self-worth issues so they'd understand each other", and that's a perfectly good reason to ship people, but like. I kind of want more? I kind of want them to be able to connect on a level that goes beyond them having similar issues? And probably the folks who do ship Franmaya do have reasons that go beyond that, like maybe Maya teaches Franziska how to lighten up and not take herself so seriously, and Franziska shows Maya that she doesn't always have to be the easiest version of herself to be loved. And that's all lovely! But I... don't want them to fix each other--

See, the versions of Franmaya I've seen floating around either boil them down to a wlw version of nrmts OR they make them out to be this saccharine, perfect, happy lesbian couple who are so, so wonderful and sweet to each other. Which is. Great! I love seeing women happy! But -- I'm sorry -- it's so BORING to me. It always seems to fix them a little (even if it's just around each other), and I like their flaws. I like that Franziska's a bit of an uppity, violent snob, and I like that Maya is a bit of a naive, insecure girl. I don't want them to fix each other, but I've tried twisting them the other way round, too! I've tried giving them the Krisnix treatment where they just amplify each other's worst traits, because they share similar insecurities and would know where to prod to make it hurt, but! I find that even less appealing and workable, tbh. Maya at her worst might let someone walk all over her for momentary wisps of affection disguised as acceptance of her flaws? But she has good and smart friends! Nick would never let her be in a toxic relationship like that, and he'd stay with her until she realises it's bad for her! And Franziska, regardless of how she may feel about being in Edgeworth's shadow, would never let anyone else even suggest that to her. The moment she gets a hint of that kind of disrespect, she is gone. She doesn't need you, make no mistake of that.

And it all really comes back to the fact that I can't see them connecting as friends. With Emaziska, I could see how they could be genuinely good friends and then more, but with Franmaya it's just... Not there for me. I can't see them progressing beyond the "oh, that's my little-older brother's friend's sister" stage the way you might be "friends" with your parents' friend's kids, you know? Like, yeah, you guess you're friends with them, but it's nothing serious or real. That's how I view their relationship. I'm not averse to being persuaded to ship them (in fact, I'd like to have them explained to me; they have cute art!) but I have tried and ehhh?? Doesnt do much for me, sorry, Franmaya 😔

[1d1195]

HIIII IM BACK ahh ive missed you, the wedding is over im soooo tired, i danced sooo much my feet are KILLING me but its whtvr it was fun, and i met a lot on new people who were just so sweet ! summertime is soooo ughh to me tho the days are too long and its wayyyy to hot😭

I READ SUNFLOWER, HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS the part where she asked for his business card and he was like ‘i’d give her my whole wallet fr’ HAHAHA I LOVE HIM

Harry wanted to tell her that he would give her whatever she wanted for as long as they lived and then in their next life too. But instead, he simply nodded and tucked her card safely into his wallet. OH MY GODDDD you write the yearning so well i’m about to pass away

He wanted to call her Miss Sunflower or something similar, but he had one neuron still keeping him sane and decided ‘love’ was more neutral than not. this is the sweetest thing in the whole world omggggg😭😭🤍🤍🤍🤍 jealousrry is a cult fav and you do him so well

i saw you said you went to see niall ? THATS SO AWESOME i actually met a niall stan at the wedding, they played a 1d song (what makes you beautiful, basic but classic) and ofc i was going CRAZYYYY HAHAHA and we got to talking abt our favs ahhh it’s so nice to bond over something like that and we were talking abt how awesome it would be if the band decided to do a reunion tour🥹🤍✨

i have a new song !! “i love you, im sorry” by gracie abrams she had a whole new album come out and i love it (there’s another one called ‘blowing smoke’ SOO GOOD) but something abt that song it’s just sooooo amazing. i adore the bridge.

how are you !! missed you so much let me know what’s new with you love youuu <3333

~🎶

Hiiii! I've missed you too! Sounds like you had lots of fun with the wedding! Nice you met new people! IT'S WAY TOO HOT. It's just starting to turn to rain where I am and it's FINALLY bearable being 20 degrees cooler than it was the rest of this week!

I truly think Harry would only make money so he could give it to his gf. Like he's just so whipped in my head. I pray that's true.

😭 you're so sweet. I def am a female writer writing a man but it's so fun to imagine him so GONE for his lady

"He wanted to call her Miss Sunflower..." that was ME who wanted to call her Miss Sunflower but I thought it was too close to Miss Wildflower and I didn't want to take away from that 😭🙄 very irritated with myself about it tbh hahahahahahaha

I'm glad you think I do jealousrry Harry well because I don't think I do. Or I think I do a really understated one and I never know/feel it's enough

I think it should be a law you have to play WMYB at a wedding. My bff that I go to all my 1D related events with and send all my 1D related tiktoks to have discussed that i would simply play all their albums as a band and solo at my wedding and everyone would just have to enjoy. It's so nice you got to bond over it! I think it's amazing how music and artists can bring people together! I actually dread them doing a reunion tour in some ways. Of course I would be ecstatic but with the way concert ticket prices are, I really don't know if I could do it :/ And I'm sure it would be INSANE to get them anyway. I would LOVE to see them together again, don't get me wrong. I think there were a lot of things they didn't get to have closure on from their abrupt-ish ending. I also think it's CRIMINAL that the Made in the AM album wasn't toured. But I don't think I would be financially able to see them and that makes me really sad tbh 😭

I'm loving "I love you, I'm sorry" !!! It's def got a vision in my head 👀 You were the best, but you were the worst. Relatable 😭 I love it! It's def gonna be repeated for a few days! 🤭

IF SHE'S GOT A PULSE SHE MEETS YOUR STANDARDS NOW. GO OFF QUEEN. I would go off the grid if I knew that song was about me. I love it! I'm going to make a summer playlist for sure with it on there!

Nothing new here. I went for walks this week and just relaxed a lot. I'm hoping to not stress myself out too much this summer. Other than that 🤷‍♀️ nothing much here. I should reach out to a lot of my friends that I don't see often. The one thing that's hard as a teacher is I have a lot more free time in the summer (for which I'm very grateful) but my nonteacher friends don't want to hang out on a weeknight to get dinner 😂 it takes up like every weekend! But that's a me problem hahahaha

LOVE YOU!!!! 💕

Jersey Calling Laments On The Parasocial Security Of Modern Day When it comes to the source of inspiration for musical artists it differs, yet to think Josh, a 41-year-old songwriter, guitarist, and lead vocalist for Jersey Calling would write music from angst is something we least expect. He revealed this in a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, where he shared parts of him and also some of the challenges he and the band have faced. When asked about what really inspires him to write, this is what he had to say “Anger is usually what motivates me to write. Also, self-doubt, sadness, and frustration with something about society at large. I’m kinda angsty for a 41-year-old guy, lol. “ Although this is true, Twisted Paradigm, which is the fourth song on their latest Parasocial Security album, has a nostalgic feel. This is perfect proof of the versatility Jersey Calling. Their song has the ability to alter your emotions. Parasocial Security has a total of songs and is heavily centered on post-punk. According to the band, there were two reasons why they chose Parasocial Security as the title of their album. “We chose Parasocial Security as the album title for two reasons: it is a play on “social security,” which seemed a good follow-up to our last album title of “Punk Rock Retirement,” and it’s a commentary on the parasocial relationships that have become a mainstay of modern society, including those we have with musicians on social media, whose lives are much more curated and public now. It’s not enough to just make music anymore, you need to have constant content.” What really caught my attention of the artwork for the album, I would leave that to you to access it yourself. Listen to Parasocial Security below https://open.spotify.com/album/4kWnGt7akeo3PqomK2sPB8 Follow Jersey Calling on Facebook Spotify Youtube Instagram Tiktok What is your stage name Jersey Calling Is there a story behind your stage name? Sean (lead guitarist) and I (Josh, vocals/guitar) were originally in a band called Burn Kate that broke up. We were on a big kick of listening to The Clash at the time, and we thought Jersey Calling would be a cool homage to their album London Calling. Where do you find inspiration? Bad Religion, NOFX, Green Day, Paramore, Midtown, Against Me!, and then our own experiences in our lives inform our lyrics. What was the role of music in the early years of your life? I grew up listening to punk all through high school, and I remember seeing my first local show with a band called Sexy Chocolate - guys I knew and hung out with - and it had never occurred to me that guys like me could play music too. So the local scene in my area gave me the confidence I needed to start my own band. It looked like so much fun! Are you from a musical or artistic family? My mother painted, and my dad does theater, so I grew up with an appreciation for the arts. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I love playing music, all of us do, and the dream would be able to do this and have it actually pay the bills. We aren’t there yet, lol. How did you learn to sing/write/to play? Sean (lead guitarist) taught me the basic chords on guitar. As far as singing, I always sang growing up, and it was just something that I did because we didn’t have someone else designated for that role. Now, Victoria is a different story. She can actually sing, and now she’s in the band AND I married her, so that’s awesome. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? Reel Big Fish, I was in high school and ska was my entryway into punk music. I still love ska. How could you describe your music? I often describe it to people as what punk sounded like in the 90s. 90s retro punk has been my go-to for describing our genre. Describe your creative process. Totally different for each song. Some start with lyrics, some with music, and some with just a title. I started writing Gods & Cowboys

with Victoria because I heard someone in a YouTube video describe the United States as “the land of gods and cowboys.” What is your main inspiration? Anger is usually what motivates me to write. Also, self-doubt, sadness, and frustration with something about society at large. I’m kinda angsty for a 41 year old guy, lol. What musician do you admire most and why? I think Laura Jane Grace from Against Me!, Frank Turner, and Fat Mike from NOFX are my three favorite songwriters. Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? We’ve always been a punk band, but I like to think that our songwriting had matured a bit. Some of my lyrics from 20 years ago make me cringe, but that probably means I’m growing. Who do you see as your main competitor? I prefer cooperation to competition. [caption id="attachment_52732" align="alignnone" width="1440"] Jersey Calling Laments On The Parasocial Security Of Modern Day[/caption] What are your interests outside of music? I took up skateboarding last year (at 40), and I’m totally addicted to it. I absolutely love it. If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? None of us do this as our career (yet?) Sean works for a non-profit food distributor, Randy’s a firefighter, John owns a restaurant, Victoria works in the justice system, and I’m a teacher. What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? It’s tough to make the time necessary to do what we love, because we all have jobs, families, and social lives. But we do it as often as we can, because it’s important to us. Music has helped me process some really difficult times in my life, and I think I can say the same for the rest of the band members too. Randy fell off a roof while he was on a job as a firefighter back in February and was in a wheelchair for months. He still hasn’t returned to work, and he said to us that music helps him through that. His story blew up and he talked about the band so much in his news interviews that Live Nation offered us an opening spot on the Adjacent Festival with Blink-182 and Paramore back in May of this year. So music ended up giving him (and us) one of the best days of our lives. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? There’s a lot of homogenization in the industry. There isn’t a lot of different genres on the top charts these days. It’s almost all pop or rap, which aren’t bad types of music, but it leaves me wanting more variety. Why did you choose this as the title of this project? We chose Parasocial Security as the album title for two reasons: it is a play on “social security,” which seemed a good follow-up to our last album title of “Punk Rock Retirement,” and it’s a commentary on the parasocial relationships that have become a mainstay of modern society, including those we have with musicians on social media, whose lives are much more curated and public now. It’s not enough to just make music anymore, you need to have constant content. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0pHozdBUQpeISTX8I6UVHt?si=xF-InkZTTdWSRhkb2Vc1gw What are your plans for the coming months? We have a couple music videos in the works, and we have a bunch of shows coming up. Follow us on Instagram jerseycalling to see where we’re playing next! Do you have any artistic collaboration plans? Not at the moment, but we’d certainly be open to the idea. What message would you like to give to your fans? Thank you for continuing to listen, coming to our shows, and hanging out with us. We have some fans that go back over 20 years, and it’s been really cool growing up with them.

Mercury, she was one of the joys in my life. I loved her, I adored her. Sadly, on this day, she died. I will never forget, playing happily with my dogs at my mum's home. Giggling, about to get some snacks when my dad sent a message:

>She's sick

>taking her to the vet

I did worry, but I knew she would be fine, my dad was someone I could trust. Yet, five minutes later, my heart broke.

>She passed

-How?

>A tumor was crushing her stomach and heart. It rapidly grew, and she was gone.

It was true... but none of us had known, not even the doctors. My cat was more special than first believed. Leucemia and a tumor, both are rare in a cat or so I was told. That ball killed my cat within minutes, less than a day. She had been taken because a glutton who stops eating one night and one morning is not normal. Dad did the right thing in seeking medical aid, even though there could be nothing done. No, he didn't put her down, he had been as shocked as me and that had been the moment he gave me the message that made me wail and burst into tears of despair.

I called my love, unable to say much other than "She's dead! Mercury is dead" He did his best to help me. But I didn't need it. I just had to have a few minutes of this feeling and hugging my dear dogs. Once I was dry I felt at peace.

Dad came to get me, and I smiled, was it wrong to feel happy in this situation? I do not know. We went and ate my favorite food, and we talked, he worried I had maybe fallen into a crisis, relieved when I assured him, I didn't. I didn't lie, I had just been sad, but now, I felt calm. We talked and talked during lunch about how cute she was, and how lovable she was. Mercury had always adored cuddling to me, sitting on my chest during rainy stormy nights to calm me, interrupting my work a bit but then resting on my leg. Her favorite toy was string or things that dangled. A cat that also loved eating, complaining if we didn't give her our lunch. We always had to lock her out on the patio along with the girls, because the three didn't stop bothering us in their own ways when we ate. She had even scratched through plastic bags to get to the food that wasn't hers. Her favorite was chicken, being more desperate than usual each time we brought it home.

It's strange how close she became to us. Mercury used to be feral, and distrusting. Yet, she only scratched me once, two weeks it took for her to be close. Born in August, dead by September. I guess, "wake me up when September ends" now makes sense.

We were done, I was smiling, knowing that we had been happy. I had no need to harm myself, no attacks. No nothing. Why did her death only cause momentary misery and not a full-on reaction lasting months? I don't know. But I felt, and feel, happy-nostalgic. Mercury lives forever on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and youtube. All I need to do is search for those, and I will see her again.

Mum came back early, Dad had just dropped me off at her house. She was also worried I might be in crisis. She didn't know Mercury personally, she had only kept her for me for a few hours since I hadn't been able to pick her up the second she was rescued. I digress. She only knew through videos and all the shenanigans I told her about. I brewed us some tea, there was no chamomile, but Earl Grey that tastes like vanilla when hot and chocolate when cold. We did the same, talk, I did let out some tears, but not as bad as the first ones. I know I will always miss her. I know Mercury was happy. When I think about her or mention her I feel good. And I was happy she didn't suffer in any way.

I love Mercury, she will always have a place in my heart and nothing will replace her. I hope, someday, I may adopt another cat, and give her just as much happiness as I was able to give Mer.
