America’s Sweetheart and Grammy nominated pop star Evan Buckley finds himself in need of an emergency drummer less than a week before his World Tour. Luckily for him, several of his crew know just the guy: technical death drummer Tommy Kinard.

I just need to accept that sometimes people wanna write historical aus without actually doing any historical research [my right eye twitches several times] and they are allowed to do that.

i love putting characters in aus but i canNOT enjoy gracerocky aus that necessitate turning rocky human. modern aus are fun and i would love to explore their relationship in a non-astrophage setting but i Do need rocky to remain a rock spider. because otherwise he's not as hot
The concept of modern AU Jaime Lannister is too absurd to exist with any fidelity. What if LeBron James killed the president and then kept on hooping for fifteen years?

You: tommy and i are gonna be holding hands around la
You: you know i’m so famous we’ll be paparazzied
Dag takes another bite of his burrito, and is surprised when she starts messaging him back almost immediately. She doesn't entertain his joke in the slightest.
Birgit: good that reminds me I have a press release drafted
Birgit: do you identify was bisexual or pansexual or queer or what?
Dag stares at his phone in shock.
“What’s that face?” Tommy asks, before taking a loud sip of his drink.
Dag just holds the screen out so he can read it, watches in delight as Tommy’s eyes narrow and he slowly reads the Swedish words. A lot of them are pretty similar to the English ones.
“Is she asking how you identify?” Tommy asks curiously.
“I guess she has a press release,” Dag says. “I warned her we were gonna be gaying it up.”
“Oh interesting,” Tommy says. “How’re you gonna answer?”
“Fuck, I dunno.” Dag grumbles, stealing Tommy’s drink and taking a sip. The taste is entirely new to him in a beverage, sugar and cinnamon and something else, ice cold. “Bleagh, what is that?”
“Horchata,” Tommy says, which doesn’t answer anything, stealing his drink back. “You don’t have to specify if you don’t want, just tell her to say you’re private or something.”
“I guess,” Dag takes a sip of his own, cucumber lime, which is still a little too sweet, but much better than Tommy’s. “What’s pansexual mean?”
Tommy blows a long raspberry and then shoves more burrito into his mouth.
“More or less complicated then explaining your bottom surgery to me?” Dag asks with a snicker.
“Probably less, but I guess it depends on how much you wanna get into it,” Tommy says, hand hovering in front of his face as he speaks with his mouth full. “I’m also not an expert or anything, I just know shit from online and talking to other people.”
“Maybe I’ll enroll in an online course on it.” Dag says, only half joking. “They have uh, women’s studies. Gay studies probably exists.”
“I think it’s queer studies actually,” Tommy says. “But I also just got my G.E.D at the beginning of the year, so who knows.
It’s always fascinating to see someone criticize something a fictional character does, especially if what happened was tasteless or otherwise bad/negative/etc. and then the comments are filled with people defending the fictional character. “Well actually, it makes sense because XYZ that happened, and blah blah blah, they had to do it!” as if the show/movie/book is a fucking documentary. It’s fiction. That character is fictional. They didn’t have to do anything, that was a choice made by a writer.
