The latest Smith twittering... um. How can I not? Expect more Chronicles as soon as I get back from a ridiculously long shift at work, I'll be writing them in my head while I'm handing out iced lattes to the innocent general population.
read that stuff, folks. Gush over the art and be generally happy and flailing. It's a Victorian coffee shop AU that's looking like it's headed straight to the top of my favourite fic of all times. It's just shiny and pretty and the perfect world for a quiet retreat while bandom loses its collective mind. It's about art and artists and expression and the romantics. And just. GLEE, okay? I needed a reminder what the hell I'm doing here like burning and these two people wrote me exactly that.
( Yeah, I might hate some of you right now. )
That's kinda it, really. I wish I hadn't seen it coming. And just. Fuck. I'm a bit too old to cry over bands breaking up anymore and I won't, but still, I had hoped these guys would be around together for a long time to come. So yeah, fuck. And the best of luck to them, obviously.
Edit: okay, I needed a moment for this to sink in and it's still not quite there yet. Hence the rambling and expletives and all. My personal coping strategy is going to be to write more Chronicles. I'm gonna pull this off with four people in two different bands on opposite sides of the country. With Spencer still topping Ryan. How exactly this is gonna work? No idea yet, but it will and screw reality, seriously. The boys in my head are still very much alive and kicking, so I'll go back to playing with them.
Also, as regards the posts along the lines of "the end of the world is nigh" and "OMG my life is over"... um. Keep things in perspective, people? Yeah, it sucks right now and I do get that, but seriously, noone died. Also, these lads have done well making decisions all by their little selves so far and I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing as artists a lot better then the whole lot of fangirls combined.
On other news, I still actually love my job, it's starting to scare me a little. I miss writing porn epically, but the boys have probably been drowned in gallons of vanilla latte, I dunno. The muse will come back, I'm pretty sure. Today was gay pride over here, so I watched the parade in my break and served a lot of very pretty fellas coffee. Far too few of them were making out in public.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna go see Springsteen. I won't even start rambling about it, cause we'd be here forever, but yeah, majorly over-excited already. The BOSS. No words required.
- Favourite meal? Dessert counts.
Any kind of curry or whatever can be stuffed into a pie. I’m very English like that.
- Favourite piece of clothing? Do you have a favourite jumper or pair of jeans, and what makes them special?
My orange combats. Special cause they’re orange (duh). They’ve also got loads of pockets so I end up wearing them to gigs and festivals a lot and there are a lot of fond memories attached for that.
- Favourite quote?
The poem Howl by Alan Ginsburg. And yes, I know the whole thing by heart and quote lines from it at random cause I really am that pretentious. Sue me. It's genius and if you don't know it, google it cause it's gonna blow your face off.
- Cliff, shag, marry: Shane Valdez, Patrick Stump or Bob Bryar?
Damn, I’d do all of them. Still, Stump, Bryar,
- Do you have a food habit that no one else gets? A way of eating something, a special cutlery arrangement you have to have?
I burst into random giggles licking ice lollies. Cause I’m secretly five years old.
I also kinda want a bandom D/s community, is there such a thing around? I know there's a couple of kink ones, which is great, but I'd like something a little more involved with that particular dynamic. Would anyone else be interested? Also, how does one get in on the kink bingo sheet I've heard about?
Then, that thing happened in my head, going "I wonder if anyone's ever written a Sleepers AU", "mmmmmh", "wow", "I could totally do Gerard the priest", "Gerard the lawyer who can barely read questions off a piece of paper in court would be kinda cool too", "Brendon needs to be the prosecutor just cause though that role's kinda got Spencer written all over it" and more along those lines.
So. I know I've still got a verse going and another one refusing to move ahead, which makes it silly to jump on this idea. Which means I totally will. Obviously. Anyone who's seen the movie, throw me some cast ideas? Pete Wentz the mafia overlord? Jon and Ryan the gang leaders with Spencer the prosecutor and Brendon the journalist? I also want Mikeyway in this very badly, just don't know where to put him yet. Just play along with my crazy ideas here for a moment, please? I'm not sure it's ever gonna see the light of day, but I'd love to be hit with random stuff to see if things fall into place or not.
Well, there is the early morning part and not knowing my ass from my elbow when it comes to all those shiny machines yet, but yeah, in all this is definitely a vast improvement from the old-peoples-homes and PA jobs I've been through.
Writing's still slow, what with the still awesome BB stuff pouring in (read the con-artist AU, it fucking rules. Also the mall one, the stripper one where Brendon's a fairy and the dollhouse one, they're all awesome). Still have a The Spencer Smith North of the City Verse teaser, stuff's growing, it's just nowhere near as fast as my usual pace.
Jon's still not really talking to me, even though I'm now in on the secrets behind the widowhood (that a word?), but I get a lot of random flashes of naked, bleeding, chained-up Ryan at moments when I really find them very inapropriate. I want that gone by Monday, too. Also, someone went and wrote a Slaveverse, so you can maybe guess what I'm gonna spend the next couple of hours reading. Whee.
P.S: Funny how it goes, but Frank Iero of all people turned me on to the new Decemberists album. He's right. Genius.
Edit: yay, writing happening. Pete's my very favourite right now. I couldn't quite picture him and all of a sudden he's right there like bam, in the usual Wentz way, with a stable of incredibly pretty naked boys, making Jon the failiest and most embarrassed party guest ever. Epic fun.
The way it plays is, there's two kinky couples involved (yeah, been there, I know), only one of the couples doesn't start out as either kinky or a couple. It's hard to sum up my tangled thoughts on this right this moment cause not all the characters quite have faces yet. There shall be Doctor Bob, cause, let's face it, he needs to exist in more fic then just Wednesday night boys cause he's awesome. So, Doctor Bob is one half of one of the functioning kinky couple.
Brendon's the severly screwed up person turning into one half of the not-yet-kinky not-yet-couple. Now. Much as I want to be Spencer the very kink-reluctant counterpart who deals with Brendon's screwed-upness (that is too a word!), I'd also love Spencer being the sub part to Bob the Doctor's evil and epic topping (cause we all know how I feel about those two). Also, there's Jon and Ryan.
Now, if Spencer's the kink-avoiding top person, Jon could be the ex who broke Spencer's heart and the reason Spencer's sworn off relationships altogether. Until screwed up Brendon comes along to win said broken heart, obviously.
That'd leave me with Bob topping Ryan.
Alternatively, Spencer could be Bob's slut (excuse the candor, but... come on. It's a pretty picture). Which would leave Ryan or Jon to top screwed-up Brendon.
For the part of audience particiation: what do you think? Bob topping Spencer? If so, can Jon Walker the laid-back dude ever be turned into a top person at all in any possible universe? If it's happening to really help a screwed-up Brendon out?
Bob topping Ryan? Spencer the disillusioned single gay man who never ever wants anyone again until Brendon enters the picture? Completely different ideas for possible combinations? Like, whatever, Bob topping rubber ducks? Bob topping Mikeyway? Ryan topping Bob (and oh my god, my brain!!!)?
Gotta admit, right now I'm leaning toward Bob/Spencer and Jon/Brendon. Which means Ryan could be the single guy doing everything that moves while taking the piss out of the happily coupled folks. Also, on a side-note, these people are all gonna need jobs. Bob's the doc, we all know that, but what about the rest of them? I'm kinda looking at professional careers here and I was wondering if I could see Spencer and Jon and Ryan working architecture and carpentry and interior design. Yeah, no idea. Hit me up with random thoughts, that always helps.
Edit: Um, okay, apparently Bob's just written himself out of the picture and promoted Spencer to being the hot doc. And now Ryan's the screwed up dude while Spencer and Brendon are the happy kinky couple, leaving Jon to be the disillusioned widower. Cool, I can roll with that. I'll still need the jobs, though. Also, I'm gonna need one seriously evil (and I mean evil) kinky guy and I can't decide between Pete and Gabe. Thoughts on that?

A/N: At the end. Chronicles.
Yeah, back to the point I was trying to make before the stalkerish fangirling, she did a Q&A for her characters in that I loved very much, cause I loved the characters themselves very much (did I mention you need to read it?).
The point. Questions to the Chronicles folks? Anything from favourite kinks to favourite foods to favourite sex-soundtrack. Throw them at me. Go all out. One, I'm very curious what you'll come up with and what responses will come. Two, I'm hoping to get a little inspiration for the next couple of instalments cause my writing's doing that nasty procastination thing again. Three, fun. So yeah, ask away. Read Phylogeny. That is all.
This was the original prompt:
Teenage dom!Ryan works his kinks out on Spencer. Spencer goes along with it, but doesn't admit how hard it gets him off. Then they meet teenage dom!Brendon, who wants to fuck them both into the floor. Dom!Ryan&Brendon then double team Spencer until he begs and screams.
(aka, more kink please.)
(aftercare would be awesome, especially aftercare that is not sickeningly mushy and sappy.)
Warnings: language, underage shenanigans, CBT, D/s, orgasm denial, spanking, the usual suspects.

And that pretty much sums it up. I've been sitting here with shining Frodo eyes for the last half hour and while it's really bad form to squee before the official release date, I just couldn't help it. So good. Molko's voice is the shit, so very ON, production's great and it sounds raw and dirty and damn close to the best of their old stuff. I can't even, really. I feel about 13 right now. Also, I'll get to see them live in two weeks. I shall spend the rest of the night with an unnatural grin on my face.
On other news, the Spencer's coming along nicely stuck in his van of madness, we're having fun and I spend unreasonable amounts of time watching Adam T. Siska interviews, but who even gives a shit? PLACEBO. That is all.
- Mood:
jubilant
I also had a Starbucks interview, which was fun and included mentions of Jon Walker and some guy from Nickelback cause that friendly Chinese store-manager was explaining to me that selling awesome coffee-products had been the quick and easy way for these people to become famous. Or something. Anyway, great fun and I hope I'll get the job. I also hope this isn't life imitating art, cause. Well, cause. Seriously, the Verse including Jon-the-barista wouldn't be my first choice if I had to pick one of my own creations to live in.
Spencer has announced he's taking over narration for the next part of the verse (no, he's like that. He doesn't ask.) and I'm kinda excited to see where this is gonna go, cause the amount of flaming fairieness he's exposing me to is great fun. He's also everyone's mother but we already knew that. I personally think Trish was right and he's gonna end up killing people.
He hates William Beckett. All of my characters hate William Beckett. I really don't quite get it cause I've kinda got a soft spot for him in a big way, what with the pretentious and those legs and frequent Conor Oberst referencing, but yeah, my characters hate him. He's probably just a really easy target for shitty one-liners. While I was contemplating the folks on the van, I was wondering if Gabe and Beckett had actually ever been in a band together for real. If so, who were the other poor souls in on that project? Midtown was Gabe and Pete, right?
I'm not dead-set on making it a real band, so if anyone out there has suggestions who should be in the van full of people I've made up, throw them my way. So far, there's a Gabe, a William and a Spencer. Pete's gotta stay in Chicago for reasons unknown to me right now, but he's got that intense thing going, so I daren't argue. Tomrad, for obvious reasons, can't be in, neither can any of the left-over Panics.
So yeah, your chance for some serious name-dropping and looking informed right here.

Pairing: I won't tell. Sorry. Brendon/Brendon's one true love.
POV: 1st, Brendon. Trust me on this. I know people generally hate it and there are a lot of arguments why maybe I shouldn't have, but.
Rating: NC-17
Summary: My name is Brendon Urie and I'm a prostitute.
Warnings: okay, in all honesty... this is a whole lot darker then the title would have you believe. It's also funny as fuck a lot of the time, but once it hits we're talking dark in the category of character death and insanity and plain disgusting imagery. While there's nothing all too graphic, there's a good bit of mind-fuckery at your fingertips if you click the button below, so proceed at your own risk. Also, language, prostitution, blasphemy, angst, drug addiction, blanket warning on all kink imaginable.
Disclaimer: another ramble right here. I am not Brendon Urie and neither is the guy telling this story. This is completely fictional and I do not claim to know, own or remotely understand any member of Panic at the Disco or any other characters mentioned. Title belongs to Commander Venus.
A/N: Can you tell I just freaked myself out by the vast amount of warnings and disclaimers? This is a prequel/coda to The role of the hero in antiquity, Brendon's take on life before Jon, Ryan and Spencer. Part of the North of the City Verse, 2500+.
