erase and rewind

That little fact may have escaped me, I'm sorry. I will admit that sometimes I do let you rant on and on and then just nod a couple of times. That's just true friendship right there. I may have been a little occupied with something else so I apologise for forgetting that.

You're evil, now I can't give you shit because you used the "I was preoccupied" card, and I would feel like an asshole if I did. You're the wooooorst, but I'll still help you and Hayley with the baby's nursery because I'm already their favorite Titi (say I am).

If you can come to any of my shows for the next tour... I would love to have you there. And I'm sure Brandon would, too. He's going to be at as many shows as he can. Life is going to be crazy busy but I'm excited to step into the next chapter and everything that it has to offer. It's going to be amazing. You could dress as literally any female super hero... or even anti-hero. One of your co-stars was Beast? Could mix the two - Harley Quinn x Beast. Imagine him wearing a 'Daddy's little monster' shirt. Hilarious.

You're gonna keep touring for as long as you can, right? How badass of you. Maybe I should get myself some GDY hair dye and try cosplaying you. I just need to not sing, though; I'm afraid I will butcher your songs horribly. I don't think you'd want to be my friend after. And I need you to be my friend forever because I need to be your baby's favorite Titi.

How much fun did you have? Tell me all about it, please! Gosh, mainly I just want a costume that'll cover my face in case there's anyone who randomly recognizes me or something, hah. I just want to be in disguise and get the full experience of the convention.

I'm really bummed about not being able to go this year. We are on tour and won't have time. I've done some artist meet and greets for comics, and it was a blast. My brother has also done panels and booths. Our inner nerds come out to play. What kind of stuff are you into and how complex do you want a costume?

Hold on, I think my brain's glitching. MCR is on tour? Right now? I'm having such a bad case of fomo. Oh man, this is making me want to throw caution to the wind and forget my responsibilities in favor of catching a show. Um, ideally, something that would help me walk around unrecognizable. That's my one requirement, really.

Ten years is definitely a while so totally, go geek out! That's the perfect place for it, I think. I’ve heard that the atmosphere feels really inviting and there's just good vibes at things like that. Hm, that's a good question. Are you looking to do something more niche or something that everyone will recognize? Look at me, acting like the Comic Con expert.

I remember it being wholesome, and everyone was super creative and happy to be there. I was so young back then, and our show wasn't as big, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing how different this time will be. As for costumes, well, mainly I want something that will allow me to walk around unrecognizable. I'd like to experience part of the convention like a regular attendee would.

at least i showed some restraint and didn't ask you about it your first day on set, though you know i was tempted to. and really? because you'd honestly make my life if you put in a word and that ended with me being part of a star wars project. that'd be my peak. anything else after just wouldn't compare.

You took too long, actually. Please never stop yourself from geeking out around me, because I think it's super wholesome. I'll be honest, I was part of the franchise, but I'm not 100% knowledgeable about it, so chatting with big Star Wars fans always fascinates me and introduces me to new perspectives that make me love the work I did so much more. Superman and Star Wars - that's the kind of greed talked about in the bible, David... says I, who's now in both franchises.

Anyone who knew Charlie, who got to know him, would say that he was laid back, goofy, and could be a bit much but there was never a time when someone would say anything bad about it. He liked attention and he liked making people happy, even if that meant a little harmless teasing. But with Adria - he couldn't read her. Most of their interactions felt one-sided, and up until meeting her, that had never happened before. All Charlie wanted to do was break the ice, be himself, and make memories and life long friends that extended far beyond the wrap party. He was shocked when she had given him her number, not that anything had been said - she had merely handed it to him and walked away with a smile.

The chemistry between them hadn’t been entirely surprising – enemies to lovers was quite the popular trope, after all – but even if she’d felt like a bit of a cliché the first couple of times, it quickly turned into something else. Something dangerous. Something that had her running from LA, signing onto projects that kept her far away from the States for as long as possible. Life had been a mess since her divorce, and she couldn’t afford to let another man derail it yet again. So, Adria did what she did best: she compartmentalized, assigning Charlie an expendable role in her life, and made peace with it. Except now she was back on the West Coast, and the first thing she did was text him about coming over. A year’s worth of distance hadn’t dampened her need for the man, but she’d be damned if she allowed this to be more than lust. Maybe she needed to loosen up a little, though. It was one thing to be casual about what they were doing, and another to be callous about it.

Haven't been to SDCC in ten years, and I'm so ready to geek out. I get to see my amazing costars, which is super fun, but I'm also very excited about getting into costume. Who should I dress up as, though? @arjonaadria

I know, it's wild! It honestly doesn't even feel like that long ago. Oh, to be twenty-four and young again... I might prank a co-star and show up as Beast from Beauty and the Beast, heh. Having my face covered will also help me walk around the convention unnoticed. I'm really leaning towards that choice.

No - there's a lot of things that I nerd out about but I guess going to a con has never really crossed my mind. I can't go this year either cause I'll be performing at a festival while it's happening. I'll have to go see the movie if I get the chance to. It's going to be a busy few months. Otherwise when it comes on streaming services... I'll be ready. What's something that you love about various different characters you like? Could pull from all of them to create something. Don't have to start from nothing.

Speaking of you performing - I've yet to attend one of your shows, and it's a fact that literally pains me, Hayley. I keep telling Brandon it needs to happen, but stars don't seem to align. It's for sure happening in August. Hold me to it, okay? But don't worry, I know how busy life on the road is, so I will talk to my people and get the movie to you, that way you and B can both watch.

ten years?! now you have to go all out for this as your return. imagine if you dress up as one of your costars, that'd be kind of funny. i'm thinking about jigsaw killer or shrek for some reason...

Now, hold on - you might be onto something here... I'm getting ideas. I'm thinking thoughts. I'd need to pick one of their iconic roles, one that people would immediately recognize. Right away, the Beast comes to mind, because Dan Stevens is one of my co-stars in the film we're promoting over there. Shrek would be hilarious too, though! I love how your mind works.

I know, right? Now I know what it's like. I mean, I do have my guitar and play whenever I'm in the comfort of my own home, but now I've seen what life on the road is like. Did you now? And who was that with?

Amor, I'm the daughter of a musician! I grew up in stadiums and venues. I can't believe you don't know my lore, Brandon. Do you just let me yap your ear off and not really take in anything I say? Is this the kind of friendship we have?

I don't think that I've ever been to SDCC before. I hope that you have the best time while you're there. Are you promoting something? I would say do something totally unique. Or even create your own character. Have fun with it.

Never ever? It's so much fun. I've been to Cons in other cities, but there's something about San Diego... I remember having a great time back then, so I'm hoping this year it's even better. But yeah, I'm promoting an upcoming movie of mine. It's a sci-fi film called Onslaught, which is set to release this September. As for creating my own character? You have entirely too much faith in me. I wouldn't know how to even begin crafting an original.
