DMD LINE-UP 2026 | My Merman (TleFirstone)

The fact that this original series is basically a fever dream meta-esque AU re-writing of TFO themselves took me out. Like what do you mean Kin is mesmerised by Pearl's voice upon their first meeting like he's crossed the path of an actual siren? (-like Tle was in their first singing class together?) What do you mean Kin's a struggling singer who needs a partner in order to debut and so they become paired together??

The only unfaithful part of this entire premise is that Tle would ever turn down a kiss from First. That would just never happen. Ever. In any universe or reality.

The duality of these two as performers is one of the many reasons why I adore them. You've got Firstone with his gorgeous honey voice looking like an actual fairy, and then seconds later he's doing the goofiest dad dancing and hip thrusting like his life depends on it - in flip flops. He's so unserious and I love him for embracing that.

Then Tle's busy getting everyone pregnant doing his horny guitar number and sticking that goddamn tongue out and being an absolute menace, and suddenly he's serenading you with the sweetest ballad, looking all heartfelt and dreamy.

Only Friends Dream On | All of Sand x Ray's Cameos

Only Friends Dream On | Jack + Removing His Glasses

Only Friends Dream On | Jack + Pushing Up His Glasses

Just one of the annoyingly hot things about him, especially when he'd do this seconds before devouring Dean's face.

Only Friends Dream On | JackDean Parallels + "You're someone important in my life. You'll always have a place right here in my heart."

The difference between the sombre loss and quiet acceptance on Dean's face as he nestles into Jack, knowing it's the last time he'll be held like this by him to the present where he's so grateful to still have Jack's love, knowing he came so close to losing it forever.

So I’m obsessed with how absolutely down bad Fort is for Peat and I’m wondering if there are any interviews or something like that where Fort has talked about his first impression of Peat, like what he thought when he first saw him and what he thought when he found out they would be working together as a pair. (Also curious about Peat’s first impression of Fort). And since Fort is so besotted with Peat I was curious if he’s ever said anything about when it was he fell for Peat or realized he liked him. Or if he’s said anything about why he likes Peat and what it is about him that makes him so clingy/lovey with him all the time!

(Also I have zero desire to put pressure on the idea of them being a real life couple or push the idea that Fort really is in love with Peat, I just truly enjoy their dynamic and friendship and I enjoy a good rps, I figure this probably doesn’t need to be said but I don’t want to give the impression that I’m at all interested in being invasive into their actual relationship whatever it may be)

(Also also I’ve seen mentions of a PrapaiSky discord server on your blog, does it still exist/is it still active and are you taking new members 👀)

Welcome to the Babyfeat fandom! And congrats on LITA being your gateway drug - I'm sure they'll continue to bring you much joy!

I'm very flattered that you've approached me with your question. And no worries at all, I'm very happy to help where I can. Though I will warn you that my memory may be a little muddy because of the sheer amount of content I consumed back then so apologies in advance if I haven't quite remembered something correctly.

Fort did a live once where he described their audition for LITA and their first meeting. "I met him on casting day. I didn't know he received the role of Sky. I realised that he was my partner for the afternoon casting. He was cute." Footage from their audition process is captured in the MMY vlog here (timestamp 41.20).

I really enjoy this interview as it's very early on in their partnership and they talk about this. The thing about Fort is he's always been this clingy and affectionate, practically from day one it seems and it's only gotten more aggressive with time 😂. Peat was comparatively shy/reserved at first so he often didn't appear to reciprocate, but he also played into seeming annoyed or irritated by the attention - which mirrored the characters they were playing at the time. So I do think that was somewhat intentional during their LITA era. Peat's a lot more relaxed and goofy now and I think that's in huge part to Fort who is equally silly and makes him feel at ease.

They have both also said that once they got to know each other better, they realised how similar they were, though this isn't always apparent upon first impressions.

The Fortpeat discord does still exist, although it's mostly idle these days, with the occasional person posting here and there but nowhere near as active as it used to be. I'm not the one who manages it, so I'll pop you a link privately if you still fancy checking it out.

Hope that helps! And feel free to get in touch anytime 😄❤️

Only Friends Dream On EP11 | Dean + "I can't act like I'm not hurting because of you"

Only Friends Dream On EP11 | Dean + "I'm Heartbroken"

This show has quickly become my weekly instalment of 'watch Mix out-act himself week by week'.

The incredible piece to camera at the end of the episode has rightly been gushed about, and my favourite part of this monologue is where Dean says "I'm heartbroken". He physically collapses in on himself like he can no longer bear the weight of his distress. He's been holding it in all episode, a little numb in the wake of the play, stuck in limbo as he apprehensively awaits Jack's next move. But the tension, the uncertainty, the loneliness and the heartache have all been crushing him. That didn't feel like acting. It felt like a genuine knee jerk reaction that forced itself out of Mix from somewhere deep within.

Two other moments I will highlight are when Jack says "say no more" and Dean quietly flinches. Because he thinks this is Jack shutting him down again after he's just spilled his absolute heart out. Somehow it still wasn't enough and the brutality of that is too much to bear. Little does he know Jack is about to forgive him.

The other is after the meeting with the sponsor. Dean, despite all the previous brush-offs is reaching out to Jack yet again. But when Jack turns him down, he looks so wounded and embarrassed, his vulnerability flayed wide open. You can see that muster of courage wither and die inside him within an instant. He's trying so hard to be brave and he keeps getting the door shut in his face.
