Here's what I've been working on regarding my comic Forgotten, updated designs of the main characters Mika and Valo.

I'm currently planning the overall story and writing the second volume. I have no idea how many parts this comic will have but I want to make at least three/four.

THE HIGH REPUBLIC CHECKLIST: If you want to consume these in order, I really like Youtini's High Republic Reading Order list for being extremely comprehensive and solidly updated for Phase III+ or the more middle-ground comprehensive High Republic guide from starwars.com or Wookieepedia generally does a good job putting things in individual release order. This post is just a checklist of what's available and not quite a reflection of read order. (Which I generally suggest following release order, not chronological order, given that you're often meant to know/not know certain things.) Possibly missing a short story here or there, but assume the novels are in read order for each given phase and that it's a useful list for remembering what you have/haven't read yet!

The Dos and Dont’s of Fake Dating - inspo guide!

When I'm working on a story, I draw on all kinds of media as inspiration. I make lists of characters' fav movies or playlists that remind me of them, etc.

These are just some things I took inspo from/relate to Dos and Don'ts! I'm taking a brief pause in writing, so hopefully these will hold us over!

@sheneedsrocknroll92 and @steeldaisies because yall showed some interest!!

Playlist

I have a lil playlist full of songs that fit this fic's vibes in some way or another. There are various genres and tones and themes, so if you aren't afraid of bouncing around between types of music, this may be a fun way to vibe with the fic!

Music

Mystery by Dio - this is 100% THEIR song, I've associated this with Eddie and ice princess since day one; it will also make an appearance in an upcoming chapter~

Just Tonight by the Pretty Reckless - this song is one I associate with a particular chapter that is drafted but not out yet, and the vibes in general really mesh with some of the themes of this fic.

Ghost, HIM/Ville Valo, & Twilight Creeps - I just listen to these artists a lot while brainstorming and writing this fic; some particular songs are on the playlist mentioned above!

David Bowie & Fleetwood Mac - sooo ice princess isn't really a music person, because I think it's a funny contrast to Eddie; however, I do think she has a few Bowie and Fleetwood vinyls/cassettes lying around that belonged to her mom, so that's the extent of her music knowledge lol

Movies

Can't Buy Me Love - originally, I wanted to write a story inspired by this movie; the setup is ridiculous and I love every minute of it, so if you want to see an early prototype Eddie x ice princess, I suggest watching this one!

10 Things I Hate About You - this was also a movie that I considered using as plot inspo; although they're not the same, I do think similarities can be found in the characters to some extent, especially Patrick = Eddie.

Heathers - the vibes and fashion speak to be, and in another world maybe Eddie and ice princess would serve up some JD and Veronica vibes~

Halloween - it hasn't come up yet in the fic, but ice princess is a closet horror movie fan whose favorite is Halloween (no it's not her fav bc it's my fav what do you mean).

Bride of Chucky - Chucky and Tiffany speak to me on a spiritual level, and I feel like Eddie x ice princess give some of these vibes??? Also RIP Eddie Munson, you would've LOVED Child's Play.

Labyrinth - I picture ice princess having a lot of similarities with Sarah, which I didn't initially notice when I was first writing. There have been many lines I've written that I can SO clearly hear in Jennifer Connelly's voice, so she's a big inspo for this fic. Also, I love Bowie

TV

That 70s Show - putting aside all the real-world controversies, I was obsessed with Jackie & Hyde when I was a kid, and I think you can clearly see a similar character dynamic with Eddie and ice princess.

Married... With Children - have yall SEEN Kelly Bundy??? enough said.

Other

Evil Ernie - maybe you've seen my other Eddie posts, but I've mentioned before that the vibes of this comic series and it's titular character remind me of Eddie, so that's all.

Flight of Icarus - yes, yes, I know that this is literally a book about Eddie, but I still think it's worth noting that I've used the book as some reference, but for the most part I haven't included it too much (I also haven't read it sorry not sorry)

Clove headcanons bc non binary rep

N o n B i n a r y r e p

They don't mind being misgendered, but on the way they don't feel bad about it, it's still shitty to do and they don't like shitty people

Intersex (there's no yellow)

Does lots of hand work and gives Omen lots of small gifts

Kinda close to Vyse bc they both have similar experiences involving the scions

Pansexual (there's no yellow)

The voice line where they say they wanted to live in a house with lots of cats can be interpreted as "I hope there's a universe where I'm just growing old with a bunch of hot guys" in my native language and it haunts me

Cat person🩷

They and Omen have a father-child relationship

Became a radiant after an accident around the area where they lived

Dyslexic

They give off cabin 10 vibes

Clovekko? Gekclove? Idk, but I like them and ship them since before the Clove 's release cinematic

Not really sure of their age because after the accident that turned them into a radiant their memory isn't well and they don't remember how old they were

I don't really know how to use they/them pronouns despite also being non binary, sorry

Late 10's or early 20's, 22 at best

Will Wood fan bc I said so

Gets along with Nightmare

Once I saw a Jett x Clove yuri comic and that thing haunts me in my nightmares, nonetheless, very close to Jett

Yaps about random stuff with Raze, both are bad listeners but both like to talk so it works

Has a rock collection that is just a bunch of cool looking rocks

Their username in every social media is "rock eating scottish non binary"

Can play the Kazoo

Plays Minecraft and makes absolutely horrendous houses, usually just a cobblestone cube with a wood floor, four beds one in each corner, a few furnaces and lots of chests. The crafting tables are kept inside of the chests

Keeps a dead beetle in their pocket as a luck charm

Have lived in lots of different European countries when they were running from the scions, from Portugal to Norway. Their favorite place, after Scotland, was Spain.

Speaks a little of a mix of Italian, Portuguese, French, Romanian and Spanish

Legal name is still their dead name and their social name is Clove

Reads one book every three months but is a book lover

Can only cook those TikTok recipies

They sleep like a cat

Plays rpg on those discord servers

Would absolutely main Neon, Breach and Harbor if they played valo

I want to read High Republic books but I don't know where to start. Help!

hi bran! i would be happy to help! 💜

(*disclaimer to start: i am still in the process of reading the high republic books myself, so this is just based on what i have read so far. also, this might get a little long, but there's a lot of material and i know it's a bit confusing, so i'm hoping a more thorough breakdown helps a bit!)

To start, the High Republic books have been published in three phases:

Phase 1 (Light of the Jedi) takes place about 200 years before The Phantom Menace.

Phase 2 (Quest of the Jedi) takes place roughly 150 years before that, so ~350 years before TPM.

Phase 3 (Trials of the Jedi)* goes back to the Phase 1 timeline, so ~200 years before TPM. (*this phase is still being published, and is set to be finished in 2025).

Each of these phases has a mix of books, comics, manga, and audiodramas. For the sake of this post, I will just be talking about the main storyline novels, which consist of adult, YA, and middle-grade books.

Do you need to read ALL books, including YA and middle-grade?

Short answer: it depends! If 19 books (and counting; and those are just the main books) is really daunting, or you just aren't sure you're going to have the time to dedicate to all of that, i would say no, you don't have to read everything. You could just read the adult books (which are the main-main storyline for everything), and be just fine!

However, if you are looking for a more well-rounded, full picture of this story, more characters to enjoy, or just want to read as much of this era as possible, than yes, i definitely recommend reading everything! the YA and middle-grade books have been just as well-written as the adult ones, and while you don't need to read them to understand the main storyline, they fill some gaps in and introduce a lot of really fantastic characters. those books just make the story as a whole more full and fulfilling.

Now, where to start?

I definitely recommend starting with Phase 1, Book 1: Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule.

This was the first book to be published, and is 1) a fantastic book, and 2) a great introduction to the galaxy at this time.

From there, I recommend going in order of the Phases, which would also essentially be publishing order.

(Secondary disclaimer: i have not read Phase 2 yet. I finished Phase 1, and then skipped ahead to Phase 3, because I was impatient and wanted to get caught up to the new book that came out a couple weeks ago lol. I am about to circle back to Phase 2, which has important background information and history for some of the things happening in Phase 1/3. so i did things a little different, but i think most people recommend the 1-2-3 Phase/Publication order.)

List of Main Books in Each Phase:

Phase 1

Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule (adult)

A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland (middle-grade)

Into the Dark by Claudia Gray (YA)

The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott (adult)

Race to Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older (MG)

Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland (YA)

Mission to Disaster by Justina Ireland (MG)

The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray (adult)

Midnight Horizon by Daniel José Older (YA)

Phase 2

Path of Deceit by Justina Ireland & Tessa Gratton (YA)

Quest for the Hidden City by George Mann (MG)

Convergence by Zoraida Córdova (adult)

Quest for Planet X by Tessa Gratton (MG)

Cataclysm by Lydia Kang (adult)

Path of Vengeance by Cavan Scott (YA)

Phase 3 (so far)

The Eye of Darkness by George Mann (adult)

Escape from Valo by Daniel José Older & Alyssa Wong (MG)

Defy the Storm by Justina Ireland & Tessa Gratton (YA)

Temptation of the Force by Tessa Gratton (adult)

Beware the Nameless by Zoraida Córdova (MG) [publishing Aug. 27, 2024]

Tears of the Nameless by George Mann (YA) [publishing Sept. 24, 2024]

There are a lot of lists out there with the reading order, but I have found that the High Republic Wikipedia page has been the most helpful, because it breaks down the different categories (novels, comics, etc.) really clearly.

As mentioned, I’ll be starting up the Phase 2 books, but I’m also currently working my way through the Phase 1 comics. So if you would like a breakdown of the comics as well, I can do that too!

i hope this was helpful! and i really hope you enjoy delving into these books! Light of the Jedi sucked me into this era of star wars so quickly, and i've just gotten more insane about them since lol.

[eliphasgraham]

This is my take on the Valo-Kas mercenaries character design based on what i read on the dragon age wiki !  I only drew the ones i think were important in my Adaar's life and i LOVE THEM

I don't recall reading about Shokrakar in the game ? I don't know where the text about her came from but i really like this story for her so i will totally use it in my comics

wrong side of the bed | v.v

ville’s in a horrible mood, and you’re the one that’s been abandoned to deal with it.

warnings: gn!reader, ville is a huge douche for most of this fic, drinking, smoking weed, arguing, fluff at the end

word count: 5k

a/n: fic is based very loosely off of this interview. grimey-as-hell ville has a soft spot in my heart

tags: @asskickedbygirl @lieutenant-cinnamon-roll @kissofdawn666 @brandons-wife @valos-venus-doom @ghoulishguns @h3artk1ller @4377666

— —

Today had been so shitty it was almost comical. First, and what had caused the day to go the way it had, was the fact that you and Ville had been fighting since you'd gotten up that morning.

"Brush your fucking teeth. You're going to be on live TV today." You said for the millionth time as Ville sat dead-faced in one of the bus seats staring at the wall whilst not moving. He was still in his clothes from the night before, and there was a huge stain on the sleeve of his shirt from where you'd accidentally knocked a bottle of wine on him the night before. He hadn't moved an inch since crawling out of bed at the asscrack of dawn to sulk in a real seat, and he only had 15 more minutes before he had to be at the studio you were taking him to for his interview with Charlotte Roche.

"Will you shut the fuck up and quit nagging me? I don't give a shit what I look like on their piece of shit show." He snapped back, shooting you a venomous look where you were already dressed and ready to go. Everyone else had gone out to breakfast seeing as they'd quickly opted out of being any part of this whole deal, which left you stuck alone with the devil himself.

"Oh my god. Whatever. Go in smelling like garbage and looking like you're homeless. See if I give a shit." Some days you got really sick of arguing with Ville over having some basic hygiene. You put up with his hatred of showers and changing his clothes well enough, but in a tiny bus, you could only stand it for so long.

"Well, I only have three outfits, and you doused one of them in red goddamn wine, so I don't know what you expect." Ville spat just as you got up from where you were sitting across the aisle from him, his gaze following you as you walked right past him.

"I would feel bad if you knew how to pack for yourself. Not my fault you like to permeate in the same disgusting clothes for a month at a time." You muttered, moving to the other side of the bus and grabbing your cigarettes from where you'd left them in the windowsill the night before. He turned completely in his seat so that he could continue to glare at you from across the bus.

"What do you fucking want? What will make your pissy ass happy?" He pressed, looking like he couldn't have had a clue in the world. You just stared at him for a second, then began naming off a list.

"Brush your teeth, change your goddamn clothes, put some deodorant on, and put on a fucking hat to cover your hair." You weren’t dying from his lack of bathing, as he'd probably be easily convinced to jump in the shower in the dressing room after his show tonight, but every time he went into an interview looking greasy as all hell, you had someone shoving it down my throat once you were back at home. You weren't a fan of Ville giving himself a reputation to be a pissy, grimy piece of shit amongst your friends and family through the media.

"My god. You're like a mother." He said degradingly, shoving himself out of his seat and now completely avoiding looking anywhere near you as he angrily dragged his tiny travel bag out from under the bench seat of the bus before slamming it down on the table. You just shook your head at him in awe.

"What the hell is up your ass today?" Sure, sometimes he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and could be a little grouchy (which usually just meant he didn't respond when you talked to him), but today he was being outwardly aggressive. Something told you it had something to do with who specifically was interviewing him, but you knew pointing that out would just make it worse, so you kept that little observation to yourself.

"I'm doing what you want. Are you going to nag the shit out of me the whole time I do it, too?" He asked, his tone so full of snark that you were thankful you were so far away for fear of throwing something at him had you been close enough. He was really lucky that his good traits outweighed his bad ones.

So yeah. Good start to the morning. Ville made the both of you about ten minutes late, which you had seen coming from a mile away, and by the time you got to the studio where Charlotte and her team were filming, Ville was in an absolutely horrific mood. He wasn't talking, he wasn't even smoking, and he wasn't looking at you at all. He just glared straight ahead the entire ride, and continued to do so as you entered the back of the studio so that you could head to the green room and he could go straight to the stage considering he was so late.

"Don't bitch at her out there just because you're mad at me." You warned as you paused in the hallway where he would continue to the stage and where you would go into the green room behind you to watch his interview on the monitor that was inside. You had a hand on his arm because you knew he would just ignore you and walk away if you didn't, and he just stared ahead like he wasn't listening. You sighed. "There's no one else out here except for you, which would usually mean that's who I'm talking to."

"Yes. Whatever. I'll see you in an hour." And, with that, he promptly started to walk right away from you without another word. You could not have physically rolled your eyes harder.

"No kiss, dickhead?" Usually you had a stupid little 'good-luck-kiss' ritual before either of you had to do interviews or go on stages, and there was no way his bitchy attitude was going to break your streak. He let out a huff, spinning back around on his heel before coming back to you.

"Fine, fuckass." He gave you my kiss, which was a lot nicer than what you had anticipated considering his mood, before he wrapped a single arm around your waist and hugged you. Who would've ever thought. "I love you."

"...I love you too. Please be nice." Your chances weren't good on that request, but you were asking anyway. He gave you another kiss with a look on his face that told you there was a good chance he was going to do about the opposite of that, before you really did have to watch him disappear down the hallway.

God, this was not going to go well.

As you got comfortable in the green room (thankfully there was no one else but you inside), you watched with one hand resting against your face as Ville and Charlotte started the interview.

It was pretty well known amongst everyone that knew Ville that he didn't like Charlotte Roche. She clearly had a huge, burning crush on him, and made it extremely obvious with her annoying habit of twirling her hair and laughing at everything he did despite the fact that he was often more standoffish than conversational with her throughout the multiple interviews they'd done together. So, sending him into her interview in the mood he was in was like sending a wolf to help a chicken stuck in a trap.

They started an awkward talk about the album that had been out for almost a month now, during which Ville put about zero effort into looking like he wanted to be there (enough for Charlotte to point it out), before they moved on to arguing about what was an acceptable time to get up in the morning after Ville mentioned usually getting up at two in the afternoon.

To give him credit, you would've hated talking about any of this stuff too, and he was incredibly hungover from staying up into the good hours of the morning, but Ville was clearly being a brat just to be a brat. You would've felt bad for Charlotte, had she not been continuously invading your boyfriend's space on live television.

"I can say whatever the fuck I want on my fucking shit show." Charlotte was saying after Ville had made a half-assed joke about telling her not to swear, leaning in ridiculously close to his face as she spoke and making him tiredly lean away. They were making you cringe, and you weren't even there.

"You just ruined some children's lives." That was his helpful retort to her badly-landed joke, which made it even worse, and then he continued even further. "There could be two four-year-olds listening in, and now that you’ve said fuck, they're going to want to say fuck."

Jesus, he really knew how to make situations painful when he was in a bad mood. It had taken you a while to get used to Ville's devotion to trying to make every conversation he had dry and awkward on purpose when he was sober (which he'd eventually gotten over once he'd realized he was attracted to you), but Charlotte didn't really know him. Albeit, you didn't necessarily like her, but this was just hard to watch.

And then he made it even worse, because he had clearly stopped being able to ignore her horribly aggressive hair twirling habit (that you knew was because he had a crush on him) that she acted on in all their interviews.

"What are you doing with your hair? You're acting like a fucking psychopath." He then proceeded to do an impression of her fast-paced talking while doing an even more dramatized version of twirling his own hair, and you couldn't help but literally laugh out loud at how horrible they were. There was a reason they gave actors pep talks on at least pretending they had chemistry when they had to do interviews.

You quickly realized that Charlotte was clearly staying off of the topic of you on purpose, and you found amusement in the fact. It was especially obvious when she tried to joke about Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights being about a secret affair, only for Ville to immediately shut that down and correct her with the reiteration that the album was 'a dedication to the hardships the love of his life suffers through for his companionship'. You would've been lying if you'd said you weren't pleased with the way she struggled on her feet after his quick snap back.

Most of the interview was painfully horrible to watch, so eventually you stopped paying attention and just busied yourself with one of many bottles of champagne left in a gift basket for Ville. You didn't mind waiting, but forcing yourself to cringe for long periods of time was torture, so you were avoiding watching the monitor in front of you at all. The only moments you paid attention was when you heard your name.

"Y/n, actually, is very helpful with all of that. They take care of most of it." Ville was talking more than dismissively now, and you hadn't been listening to what Charlotte had asked him, but you had a feeling it had been either about music videos or the pictures on the inside of the album, because that's mostly what you’d been allowed to help out with.

"Y/n is...your partner, yes?" Yeah, she had to be doing that on purpose. There was no way she'd met him (and you!) this many times without remembering. Ville clearly thought the same thing, because even you could see the look he shot her.

"Yes. They’re here, actually." He muttered, leaning back a little further where he was sitting and glancing uninterestedly ahead. They then divulged into a (mostly one-sided) conversation about what it was like to travel with a spouse (thankfully Ville left all of your fighting out of his answer), and then you were tuning out again. You’d hear his own rendition of the painstaking conversation once he came back and dragged you right out of the studio so that he could go off just like every time he and Charlotte ended up in the same country.

Eventually you got bored enough to where you started to doze off, the interview in front of you completely forgotten in lieu of catching up on a shitty night's sleep due to sharing a twin sized bed with someone who was all long arms and legs.

So, when you suddenly heard the door slam open, you jumped about ten feet in the air as you opened your eyes to the view of Ville storming into the room. Thankfully, he was still by himself, but he left the door open as he grabbed the gift basket off the table before standing in front of you where you were lying horizontally on the couch with a champagne bottle in your lap.

"Get up. We're going." He prompted, glancing behind him like he was checking to see if anyone was coming after him. You stared at him for a second, trying to wake yourself up before he just offered out a hand with impatience.

"What did you say?" You asked tiredly as you accepted his hand before he was pulling you to your feet, setting the decently-dented champagne bottle back in the basket. There was no way he was leaving this quickly if it had been a nice send off between the two of them. He made a face.

"I didn't say anything. I'm fucking tired and pissed off and I want to get the fuck out of here." He muttered, guiding you right out the door and back down the hallway that you'd come from. Something told you he was leaving so quickly because he was probably supposed to be talking to someone else before he left, but it wasn't like you were going to argue. You wanted to be out of there just as bad as he did.

"Was it really bad?" You already basically knew the answer to that question based off the little amount of the interview you'd stayed awake for, but you could tell he was just waiting to burst and go off, so you gave him the rip in the seams to do so. He took a deep breath and shook his head for a second before he even replied.

"I'd like to say I deeply appreciate and admire all of the female species, but she is a raging goddamn cunt." He spat, slipping a loose arm around your waist once you made it out of the backstage door. "How much of it did you see?"

"I stopped paying attention after you did an impression of the hair twirling." You muttered, shielding your hungover eyes from the sun as you walked back to your rented car. That actually pulled a chuckle out of him.

"Well, what do you expect? She acts like a wild animal in every interview, and she's got the eye makeup for it, too." He defended himself as you both separated to get in either side of the car, slamming his door a lot harder than he needed to once he was inside. You laughed as you got into the driver's side.

"Ville, that was like, ridiculously bad. I couldn't even watch it." You said truthfully, giving him a good reason for the fact that you'd been asleep on the couch facing away from the TV when he'd came and got you. "I get that you don't like her, but..."

"—but nothing. I don't care if it was bad." He huffed, slouching down in his seat and then letting his eyes close. "Did you hear the bullshit she said about the album being about a secret affair?"

"Oh yeah. That was kind of funny, actually." The idea that Ville was so bold about cheating on you that he would create an entire music album about the fact was so horrendous that it was comical. "Do you think she does coke before she does interviews?"

"I don't fucking know what her deal was. I don't want to think about it." He was grumbling, which about told you how sociable he was going to be for the time being. "You seem pretty calm for how close she was getting."

"You were pissing me off, so might as well enjoy watching you suffer." If you were ever to be intimidated by another person 'threatening' your relationship, that other person sure as hell wasn't going to be Charlotte Roche. Hard to be intimidated by someone your boyfriend spent his free time murdering in his head.

"You're an ass." He muttered, leaning away from you when you tried to reach out and touch him with your hand that wasn't on the steering wheel. You rolled your eyes, dropping your arm loosely on the armrest and shaking your head.

"Takes one to know one." Okay. You were being a little childish, but it's not like he had been the pinnacle of maturity today. Hell, he'd compared you to a mother, which was incredibly offensive to you, personally.

He didn't respond to that (thankfully), and you drove back to where the bus was parked outside of the venue in tense silence. You weren't in the mood to play peacekeeper considering how early it was and how much of the animosity was coming from his side as opposed to yours, so you made no attempt to try and break the tension. He would get over himself eventually, and hopefully you'd feel a little less hungover by that point.

So, the remainder of the morning was spent doing pre-concert rituals on the bus (which meant everyone had begun the long day of drinking themselves to shit) whilst you and Ville talked little to almost not-at-all. He was still pissed off (which everyone else was completely ignoring), so he was actually avoiding conversation with everyone as well as you.

Fine by the rest of you.

When it finally came time for you to head backstage to get ready for everyone to head out and start their set, Ville still hadn't eaten anything, had gone through an entire bottle of wine and half a bottle of champagne, and had changed back into the wine-stained shirt. He looked like shit, and he was acting like shit, too.

"You need to give him some downers to even him out. He's going to perform like shit." Linde begged you after watching Ville angrily stumble into the bathroom and slam the door, earning a chorus of irritated agreements from everyone else in the room. You winced, opening your bag to see what you had on hand.

"Everything I’ve got is out." You’d gone a little overboard the night before, so you were basically cleaned out for most of what you'd picked up since joining the tour several days before. Suddenly, Burton stepped around the couch, and then held out a small sandwich bag with a couple nuggets of weed.

"If this will make him stop being such a raging cunt, then you can have it for free." He said tightly, dropping the bag right into your lap. You laughed at that, because it was amazing what Ville's horrible temper could bring out in people.

"Hey. We can share. He's gonna get all weird and bitchy if it's just him smoking." He'd know that you were purposely trying to get him to fix his behavior if not everyone else was passing. Gas cast an irritated look towards the closed bathroom door.

"My god. How long is he going to be weird and bitchy? It's getting old." He huffed, running a hand over his face.

"Until he's drunk." Linde and Mige spoke at the same time, and you snorted at that because that was about as true as it could get. He was only getting more agitated and angry at the moment, and it would take a lot more than what he'd ingested to get his mood to lighten. In fact, it might've never lightened at all, as red wine just made him aggressively horny. Hooray for you.

As you waited for Ville to make his grand entrance back into the room, you and Burton rolled two joints out of a copy of the setlist on the coffee table in a team effort to set Ville up for success. Sure, he performed a little weird on weed (he usually liked to drag out long notes and shove the microphone in his mouth an unsettling amount of times), but that was everyone else's but your problem, so you didn't care.

Finally, when Ville came back out with a champagne bottle still in hand, he was met with the sight of Mige with a joint in his mouth and Gas with one between his fingers.

"Jesus. Don't fucking wait for me or anything." Clearly his bitchy attitude had eliminated any need to convince him on anything, and Ville plucked the joint right from Mige's mouth as he shot everyone in the room a collective dirty look.

"Well, if you hadn't been drinking in the toilet like a fucking bitch..." Linde clearly wasn't in much better of a mood, and you and Mige shared a look as Ville's eyes shifted from yours over to Linde with an red-hot glare on his face.

"Hey. Come sit down and chill the hell out." You interrupted before Ville could find it in him to snap back a reply, motioning to the couch next to you and scooting closer to Burton so that he had room. However, Ville instead decided to step over your legs and drop down between you and Burton, forcing you both to both shove in opposite directions as he wormed his way into space that hadn't been there in the first place.

You were sure everyone in the room shared a look at that, but Ville was too busy ashing his joint on the floor to notice. Figures.

—

You spent most of the concert in a drug-induced haze laying on the couch, during which, as your horrible luck would have it, Bam Margera called trying to convince you to let him join the tour.

You failed to get around his complaining for half an hour before the band finally re-entered the room, giving you the scapegoat you needed to get out of a conversation that clearly should’ve been for Ville.

“Ville’s back. I have to go." As you said that, Bam immediately protested not getting to actually talk to Ville, but you were quicker. You blurted out your goodbyes before you promptly hung up, looking expectantly at everyone else besides Ville to gauge whether or not he'd shaped up his attitude. Thankfully, Linde quickly waved it off before promptly being hit in the face with Ville's shirt.

"That better not have been Bam Bam you were trying to put me off to." Ville's tone was loud and rushed, but he moved to stand by your feet at the arm of the couch before he rubbed an absentminded hand up your leg while he fished for his cigarettes in his back pocket. You shrugged.

"You’re lucky I didn’t." You muttered, running both hands over your face before forcing yourself to sit up. "Are you done being an asshole?"

"Indefinitely." He promised, crossing his finger over his bare chest before he leaned down and gave you a kiss. "I was made aware that you purposely drugged me so that I'd stop being a cunt."

"Barely. And it worked, so who cares." You said dryly, standing up and immediately being enveloped by a sweaty arm around your neck. You could barely get your words out as Ville pressed more kisses to your lips and cheek, and pretty soon Mige was spitting out a scoff.

"Oh. Now all of a sudden he's nice." He said sourly, shaking his head as he grabbed his bag from off the floor behind the couch. You groaned, trying and failing to get out from Ville's grasp.

"Yeah. And he's gross, too." You huffed as Ville ruffled your hair before letting you go, smacking his ass as he headed towards the small bathroom in the corner where there was a shower. Score! "Are we drinking tonight, or hitting the road right away?"

"Road. Glasgow next." Gas said as he finished off the last of the beer he'd left on the table, his voice coming out muffled as he drank and talked at the same time. You sighed, because that meant a night of shitty sleep with drunken shenanigans in painfully-tight quarters, before dropping down on the couch because you knew it was going to be a while.

But, it was for the sake of a clean and showered Ville, so you were more than fine with waiting.

—

Thankfully, the gentle shaking of the bus as it drove seemed to chill everyone out considerably, and by the time you'd been back on the road for 15 minutes, everyone was yawning and shutting the shades. You were all for drunken behavior and partying all hours of the night, but you'd already slept like shit before, and you were essentially running on empty as everything you’d drank and smoked started to pull you closer and closer to exhaustion.

"I don't know how uncharismatic you can get, but he was working on it." You were tiredly relaying Ville's interview with Charlotte back to Mige, who was the only one besides Ville still out of bed, and he just chuckled.

"Yeah, she fucking sucks. She must have to be taking some sort of amphetamine." He agreed with your earlier prediction, finishing off the last of his beer before he messily shot the bottle for the trashcan (and missed). "Bet she got the brunt of that shit-ass mood, though."

"Oh yeah she did. It got so much worse once you guys went out to breakfast." You muttered, speaking lowly to keep Ville (who was looking for snacks inside the beat-up cabinets of the bus) from overhearing you. "I don't know what his fucking problem was today, but I'm glad he's over it."

"Are you the type of relationship where amphetamine-riddled fangirls who want their hands down his pants make you jealous?" It was a funny way of wording it, but Mige looked completely genuine as he asked that question. You waved it off with a scoff.

"No. He's such a bitch to everyone that I don't even have to worry about it." Never once in your life had you seen Ville treat someone who was clearly drooling over him with anything other than blatant irritation. He wasn't super great at hiding his lack of interest in certain things.

"I can hear you." You didn't whisper that part, because you were completely fine with helping Ville be self aware, and he shot you a look from the cabinets as he called you out. You grinned, sliding out of the chair that you were sitting in and trying to stifle a huge yawn.

"What? You are!" You defended yourself, slipping an arm around his hips and leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek. "At least today you were."

"You, my friend, found yourself a good one. It brings a tear to my eye that they know you're a cunt." Mige snickered as Ville groaned in your arms, getting out of his seat as well and passing the both of you towards the bunks. "Think hard on that while you're snuggled up tonight."

"Yeah, fuck you too." Ville scoffed, leaning into your kisses despite his hostile tone with his arm slipping around your shoulders. "God forbid I be in a bad mood once in a while."

"You're allowed, but if you ever compare me to a mother again, I'll call your mom and tell her everything you’ve been saying." You threatened, knowing that the one person who could whip Ville into shape better than you could was Anita Valo. He chuckled at that, resting his chin on top of your head.

"Don't call my mama." He begged softly as he broke away from your embrace to give you a kiss. When you gave him a skeptical look, he gave you his most convincing smile before kissing you again as he turned off the kitchen light. "I'll be a good boy. Swear."

"You better. I'll kick your ass if you're grouchy again tomorrow." You muttered, trying to sound intimidating but still laughing when you felt his lips on your neck in the dark.

"I love you. Let's snuggle." He crooned, hands on your hips as he guided you in the direction of the bunks whilst trying to avoid bumping into anything while you walked. You sighed but obliged, blindly feeling around until you both reached your bunk and then shushing him when he swore loudly as he bumped his arm into the wall. "God fucking damn it. This fucking bus!"

He completely ignored your shushing him as he kicked the wall, huffing to himself and pulling a couple of groans out of the bunks around you before you just forcibly guided him into your bed so that he would shut up.

"Honey. Just be quiet." You groaned, climbing in halfway after him and then being yanked inside the rest of the way by his hand wrapped around your hip. He just let out a huff and pulled the covers over the both of you, his arm wrapping tightly around you as he shoved his face in your neck.

"You be quiet." He grumbled, and you could feel him smile against your neck when you yanked on his hair slightly for his attitude. You rolled slightly so that you could get comfortable in the limited space combined with Ville's space hoarding problem, ending up slightly turned away from him with his face in the crook of your neck and your arm backwards over his waist.

Well, a better end to a day that had started like fucking shit. You weren't completely comfortable, but you couldn't complain when you were snuggling with Ville, so you were happy. Especially because you fell asleep first, which meant you didn't have to hear any snoring from the man leeched up behind you.
