king of the fall

Establishing this thing where it's normal for me as a friend to check in on you.

ah, so now we're friends? impressive display of personal growth. aight, what are you checking on now mami?

okay hold up—2022… written off some text messages… chart-topper… abel. don't play with me. is it "out of time"? no, wait—"less than zero"? sacrifice? i’m spiraling now. you can’t drop clues like that and expect me to not turn into sherlock merced. i will literally put on my trench coat and light a candle until i crack this. also? that’s exactly how i imagine your creative process going. like you read a text, say “bet,” then 30 minutes later the whole internet’s crying and dancing at the same time. power i aspire to. yeah no, that chaotic streak is definitely hereditary. the way you describe her? it's giving “tiny hurricane with excellent taste and no sense of boundaries.” love that for her. but yeah, a kids' leash? don’t tempt me—i’ll design a chic one. a little rhinestone situation, maybe a satin finish, something fashion-forward for when she makes her red carpet escape. and if she wants to move in? girl. i’ll clear the guest room. i’ve been needing a reason to stock up on glitter slime and mini microphones anyway. you sleep. i got this. we’re about to turn bedtime into a concert and snack time into an intergalactic mission. just don’t blame me when she comes back quoting me instead of you.

Nah, none of 'em. I had to ask the Sweds for help—went all the way to stockholm to record. The damn flight took longer than writing the lyrics, can you believe that ?? There you go, crack the code, sister. I’ve got faith in you. AH It made me chuckle, but honestly, that's exactly how it is on a good day. Some songs took longer, and some only came out the way I wanted years later. Nothing’s linear. It is hereditary. Now I feel the guilt behind the diagnosis—she's gonna be feral. Please, have her help with the design—I’m sure she’d love that. But if you plan on turning bedtime into a concert, you're doing that in your own house. I’m not facing the consequences of what already sounds like a chaotic situation. It’s all fun and games until you realize she was probably behind the creation of duracell because she’s a little battery-powered maniac.

okay exactly—get george and the mouse in the front row. let 'em witness real cinematic universe building. kylo ren could never. and again, no shade to adam driver—he’s got sad boy energy down perfectly—but this is the stargirl & starboy saga. lights, love, maybe some space crimes. who’s writing the scripts? oh yeah—we are. and now i need to hear that 3am song. you already know i’m nosy. give me a teaser lyric or i’m gonna start guessing until i land on it. that’s a serious flex though—turning a groggy sleep disturbance into a chart-topper? you’re built different. call that midnight manifestation. aya sounds like a chaotic legend and i absolutely adore that for her. playing hide and seek with no one else involved? iconic behavior. girl is on her own wavelength and honestly? we should all be so lucky. i’m already making space in my calendar—just say the word and i’ll roll up with fruit snacks, bubble guns, and jedi robes tailored for 4T sizes. we’ll turn your house into dagobah and see who makes it out. also: babysitting fee = front row seat and a guest verse. take it or leave it, starboy.

You’ve got it, girl — gotta show 'em the way. Actually, the 3AM song has been out for a while, since 2022 to be exact. This alone is a huge clue for you to figure it out. For this particular one, I just had to read a couple of text messages, and boom, done. Definitely a chart-topper, that was a lucky move. She’s absolutely chaotic, but could we expect any less from my own daughter? Yeah, it’s all fun and games until I almost triggered an amber alert and passed out. I swear to god I was this close to getting her one of those kids' leashes — didn’t care. Damn, if you go all in like that, she might just move out of my house and make it permanently to yours. But babysitting fee accepted, consider it a done deal. Ain’t even gonna negotiate — I need a full night of sleep.

I know, I know -- I've been a little bit off the grid for a minute, I get it. I miss you most, the end. I miss Aya too, sweet girl -- Oz can definitely be busy and tricky sometimes, but I promise that I'm back and in full swing! You'll have to tell me to fuck off before I leave you alone, rest assured. Dinner and drinks sounds perfect; when can you pencil me in, superstar? Just let me know, and we'll make it happen -- definitely before you take off on tour, yes! I should probably also introduce you to my girlfriend.

You better be — life’s not as fun without you. Well, it’s whenever really. Definitely before may, but just know that whenever you want to swing by, the door’s open, there’s food in the fridge, and a four-years-old trailing behind you like a shadow. Damn, what? Girlfriend? I can’t be that out of the loop — you really need to feed me some updates. Funny thing, Cynthia mentioned we should all have dinner sometime. I think that could be fun. Are you guys still hanging out?

are we allowed to talk about the idol? because i feel like we should talk about the idol. i'm only a million years late but i couldn't resist when i saw the cast. you, lily, troye, and rachel? dream blunt rotation. are we going to be seeing more of you in the acting world or is it music from here on out? / @abelsarchives

Tough subject, but go ahead. - AH, we had a dream cast and everyone was phenomenal — I can’t brag about it enough. However, it wasn’t received the way I thought it would be. It was a tough lesson, and not gonna lie, my ego took a hard hit. But I decided to view it as a learning moment and come back stronger. My upcoming movie is coming out in may — it’s totally different, and I’m really looking forward to this one, dream cast for this one still included.
